The GOODS from La Pentola

Vancouver, BC | Yaletown’s OPUS Hotel is pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel Burke as the new General Manager of the boutique hotel’s award-winning Italian restaurant La Pentola.

Burke joins the La Pentola team from Chinatown’s renowned Bao Bei Brasserie, where he enjoyed a six-year stint in various roles including General Manager. Previously Burke also worked at a range of restaurants during his travels and spent four years at Gastown’s Chill Winston as a server, bartender and then manager.

“Some General Managers are cocktail fanatics; some are chefs; some are servers that never want to serve again; and some are wine geeks,” says Burke. “I like to think that I’m a little bit of all of those things with the addition of also being an artist and designer. But above all I’m a people person.”

Thoughtful and efficient, Burke’s management style focuses on fostering a positive work environment for his team and providing a warm welcome for guests of the restaurant. He brings humour and hard work to the hotel while making sure there is compassion and camaraderie amongst the kitchen and front of house teams. Burke’s goal is to encourage guests to discover La Pentola’s beautifully designed space and welcoming staff. Most importantly he would like to introduce them to the talents of Chef Travis McCord: “He’s extremely passionate,” says Burke. “The high level of talent in the kitchen team makes my job so much easier.”

About La Pentola

Rustic Northern Italian inspired cuisine at La Pentola inside OPUS Hotel. Simple, handmade pasta and traditional nose-to-tail meat and fish dishes served family style are the focus of this award-winning Vancouver restaurant.

“La Pentola is inviting and warm. Ditto the service. The food is rustically elegant, a distillation of real Italy and the food is similar to their northern Italy-based La Quercia and La Ghianda offerings – they zero in on great ingredients and capture the Italian soul. Their pilgrimages and work experience in ‘Slow Food’ Italy is evident”. Mia Stainsby, The Vancouver Sun
