L'Andana in Burlington is the first suburban outpost for the Columbus Restaurant Group (which also owns and operates Mistral, Teatro, Sorellina and Mooo....). Inspired by its namesake trattoria nestled in the olive groves of the foothills of Tuscany, the restaurant serves a menu designed to capture the simplicity and freshness that defines Tuscan cuisine - wood-grilled meats and fish, house-made pastas, and decadent desserts.
L'Andana deconstructs the rustic look of an old world farmhouse - end-grain wood floors, weathered barn board, steel, Italian mosaics and chandeliers made from old wine barrels combine with shades of bronze, and a touch of verdant green, to create the stateside equivalent of the Italian countryside. Open for dinner seven nights a week, L'Andana is a great foodie destination for city dwellers and suburbanites alike.

From the day that Chef Jamie Mammano opened the doors to Mistral in 1997, his biggest culinary venture yet was destined to become a legend of the Boston dining scene. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, Mammano established a reputation for himself amongst the country's most highly-regarded chefs during stints at The Jockey Club and Le Pavillion Restaurant in Washington DC, as the chef for the United States Ambassador to Spain, and 10 years spent in the kitchens of the Four Seasons Hotel Company, where he honed his culinary skills at the company's Washington DC, Seattle, Chicago and Boston properties. While serving as Executive Chef for the Four Seasons Hotel Boston, Jamie single-handedly catapulted its dining room, Aujourd'hui, to the #1 ranking in the Zagat Survey of Boston Restaurants in 1995, and soon after readers of Boston Magazine chose Aujourd'hui as the #1 restaurant in Boston and Condé Nast Traveler named it the #4 restaurant in the country.
Seeking the next big challenge, Jamie left the Four Seasons, and along with partners Paul Roiff and Seth Greenberg, created the concept for Mistral, a French/Mediterranean bistro in Boston's South End. Through crafting the menu, hiring the staff, handpicking the tableware, choosing the décor and designing the kitchen, Jamie was able to give life to the restaurant he had always dreamed of - a restaurant where Boston diners couldn't wait to frequent. Since then, Mammano and Mistral have consistently delivered excellent food, exceptional service, and garnered numerous accolades including Top 25 New Restaurants in America by Esquire Magazine, Sexiest Bar by Food & Wine, and four Best of Boston awards from Boston Magazine. Mammano has appeared on NBC's Today Show as well as CNN's On the Menu. In June 1999, Nation's Restaurant News named Mistral as one of 5 Hottest Restaurants in Boston and in July of the same year, he was invited to be a guest chef at the famed James Beard House.
Realizing he had a winning combination of talent, Mammano embarked on his second restaurant venture with Mistral partner Paul Roiff in January 2003 with the opening of Teatro, a stylish yet casual Italian-influenced bistro. With Teatro, Mammano has created a comfortable dining spot in Boston's trendy Ladder District, where diners enjoy inspired Italian food and drinks, an open kitchen and playful design. In November of 2005, the duo followed up their success when Roiff made Mammano a partner in The Federalist, now Mooo.... a modern steakhouse inside the XV Beacon Hotel in November 2005. Then, the pair opened Sorellina, in January 2006. Offering a menu of regional Italian-Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist, a unique wine list focusing on hidden Italian gems, upbeat and sophisticated service, and a warm, contemporary design enhanced by the glow of a back wall mural and floor-to-ceiling windows, Sorellina is truly a feast for the senses. Their newest endeavor is L'Andana in Burlington, Massachusetts. Here, The Columbus Restaurant Group hopes their winning touches and a menu of fabulous Tuscan cuisine will continue to escalate this fine dining location into one of the city's most popular dinner destinations.
