In 1993, Nick Valenti was named CEO of Restaurant Associates, striking a deal with Compass Group USA, and in 1999 merging with Patina Group on the West Coast, forming the bi-coastal Patina Restaurant Group. In 1989, chef Joachim Splichal opened the restaurant Patina later expanding with more concepts and a catering empire that fed Hollywood stars at glamorous events. The group grew out of foodservice contractor Restaurant Associates. The out-of-this-world restaurant will be one of several venues the group operates at Walt Disney World, including Tutto Italia, Via Napoli and Morimoto Asia. PRG’s restaurant for Disney’s upcoming Epcot exhibit called “Mission: Space” will give the appearance of dining high above the earth. So it makes sense that its next concept will be in space. Patina Restaurant Group is known for its attention-grabbing restaurants in landmark locations.
