Fine Italian Cuisine in Five Locations

Ted Vitale serves as the CEO of Petore Construction, a contractor serving the New York metropolitan area. In this capacity, Ted Vitale has spearheaded many commercial projects, such as the Alta Strada restaurants.

The first Alta Strada opened in 2007 in Wellesley, Massachusetts, the brainchild of award-winning restaurateur Michael Schlow. The popularity of his classic Italian cuisine led him to open four more locations in Boston, Connecticut, Virginia, and Washington, DC. The menu at the latter location gives some idea of Alta Strada’s offerings.

Diners can choose from several appetizers, including calamari, mussels, shrimp scampi, and creamy burrata. Moving on to the main course, they can enjoy pasta specialties such as baked ziti, mushroom ravioli, and tagliatelle Bolognese. Other entrees include from chicken Parmigiana and Mediterranean branzino. Four kinds of pizza are also available: Trenton style, margherita, bianca, and grilled “al forno.” Visitors can complete their experience with desserts such as tiramisu and bombalina.

WAA New Strategies to Honor Veterans

As the CEO of Petore Construction, Ted Vitale leads a highly skilled general construction staff that coordinates projects in New York and other metropolitan areas. The company assists clients with project phasing to ensure the construction process doesn’t impact day-to-day business. Ted Vitale supports several charitable causes such as Wreaths Across America.

Over the years, Wreaths Across America (WAA) has collaborated with like-minded programs and groups to remember and honor the nation’s active-duty military and veterans. WAA is best known for the annual event of placing wreaths on headstones of fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2020, however, WAA placed over 1.7 million sponsored wreaths at 2,557 sites spread across participating locations all over the US.

For 2021, Wreaths Across America has organized a series of virtual races supporting the organization’s mission, "Remember, Honor, Teach". This is after eight virtual races were successfully held in 2020 across the country.

Tom Ford in Washington, DC

The CEO of Petore Construction in Wall Township, New Jersey, Ted Vitale spearheads contract construction projects throughout the greater New York metropolitan area and beyond. A good example of a major Petore project under Ted Vitale’s direction is a Tom Ford location in Washington, DC.

The luxury retail brand Tom Ford, the company of former Gucci Group designer Tom Ford, opened its first store in New York City in 2007. Its DC location began on an existing retail property that contractors had to demolish in order to build a brand new structure from the ground up. They reframed the entire space to encompass a total of 3,500 square feet.

As part of the construction process, they installed an up-to-date electrical system as well as mechanical systems that included a network of VAV (variable air volume) boxes with linear diffusers. The final retail space was sleek and modern, with an abundance of precisely targeted overhead lighting.
