MILWAUKEE- SSP America, the Food Travel Experts, joined officials from Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport, The Bartolotta Restaurant Group, and Alterra Coffee in celebrating the arrival of the Nonna Bartolotta's restaurant and Alterra coffee shops earlier today.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to serve the travelers and community of Milwaukee with an unprecedented dining experience at General Mitchell International Airport," stated Pat Murray, Senior Vice President, Business Development of SSP America. "Our partnership with these local iconic brands captures the essence of our soul, where exceptional quality and freshness is not a goal but the driving force behind what we do."
SSP's partnership with The Bartolotta Restaurant Group and Alterra Coffee is consistent with its objective to bring enhanced restaurant offerings to North American airports. With nearly 8 million passengers passing through the Airport annually, General Mitchell qualifies as a major airport deserving of the finest in dining venues. Before identifying the brands proposed to the County and Airport management, SSP conducted a focus group with local business and community leaders to better understand the needs of the area's traveling public.
"Passengers at Mitchell Airport will love the added food and beverage options," said Scott Walker, Milwaukee County Executive. "Alterra runs a great operation, and Nonna's Italian-style trattoria provides a top-notch menu in a wonderful atmosphere."
Nonna Bartolotta's, a tribute to Joe and Paul Bartolotta's Sicilian grandmother and her authentic recipes, serves Italian-style cuisine, with a unique Milwaukee flair, in a sit-down dining venue. The original Ristorante Bartolotta was established in 1993 and has become a Milwaukee favorite. The new Nonna's at the Airport includes a traditional Northern Italian menu drawn from the parent restaurant's portfolio of dishes.
Alterra Coffee, well-known for strong, quality coffee and outstanding customer service, has opened three shops at Mitchell International Airport. The company has long been recognized for its ability to deliver a unique experience to its customers through its creative cafe spaces, commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint and its offering of Fair Trade and certified organic coffees. Alterra at Mitchell will provide the same exceptional coffee and complementary food products that have made the roaster a local Milwaukee favorite since 1993.
Passengers taking a flight from any concourse can enjoy a taste of Nonna Bartolotta's or Alterra simply by presenting their boarding pass and ID at the Concourse D security checkpoint.
Chairman of the Milwaukee County Board's Transportation and Public Works Committee, County Supervisor Michael Mayo, Sr., noted, "It's great that SSP America is helping Milwaukee County expand the food and beverage offerings at General Mitchell International Airport. I am pleased that the County Board could play a role in bringing more local flavors to our airport."
