The VanTrece Hospitality Group, founded by Chef Deborah VanTrece, will close La Panarda Restaurant in Cascade Heights on April 13, 2024. The restaurant, which featured VanTrece's "Global Soul" approach to Italian cuisine, opened in February 2023 and went on to receive consistently positive reviews for its cuisine and atmosphere.

Chef VanTrece owns two other successful restaurants, Oreatha's at the Point (also in Cascade Heights) and Twisted Soul, the West-Midtown restaurant recently recognized by The Michelin Guide. In addition, Vantrece also manages Catering by VanTrece, which is well-known for the high-profile events it serves in the professional sports and entertainment fields. Chef Deborah was also recently selected as Curating Chef for the American Express Centurion Lounge at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The lounge provides elevated food, beverages, and luxurious comforts/conveniences for American Express Platinum Card holders.

"Between the restaurants, the Centurion Lounge, the constant catering requests, a new cookbook, and final negotiations for a network television show, I was pulled in too many directions," VanTrece explains. "Something had to give. And as much I love Italian Cuisine and the food we were crafting at La Panarda... it was the last restaurant to open, so it was the one we chose to close," she added. This move will allow Vantrece to focus her energy on expanding the brand via national and international opportunities.

The decision to build two restaurants in Cascade Heights was based on her desire to see the once-thriving commercial center transformed with new businesses to meet the needs of local residents and provide economic opportunities. "Developer Shea Embry's vision for the revitalization of the business corridor was and is brilliant," VanTrece points out. "She has been an ideal partner to work with, and we look forward to continuing our successful relationship with Oreatha's. Soon, another restaurant will move into the La Panarda restaurant space, and with the support of the neighboring residents, the area will thrive. The local community deserves that."
