New Batavia eatery Thorabella’s opens

The Batavia Chamber of Commerce recently celebrated the opening of a new restaurant, Thorabella’s, 15 E. Wilson St., Batavia, with a ribbon-cutting, officials announced in a news release.

The new restaurant is owned by longtime restauranteur Brian Green.

Thorabella’s is a family-owned restaurant serving Italian-American cuisine inspired by the family’s heritage and guided by the spirit of their beloved grandmother, Thora, the restaurant’s namesake.

Menu items include salads, build-your-own pasta, panini and flatbreads. The upstairs event space is available for showers, anniversary parties and small events.

Batavia Mayor Jeffery Schielke participated in the ribbon-cutting along with Green, his mother, Deborah Green, sister Brittany Sabatino and grandfather Frank Rogers, husband of the late Thora.
