Sprezzatura makes its home in Millvale’s former Moose Lodge — now the Millvale Food & Energy Hub — a shared 10,000-sq.-ft. facility with a solar microgrid and new energy technology supporting the building’s operations. Sprezzatura chefs cook in a solar-powered kitchen and the café is a model of reuse: incorporating reclaimed wood, metal, and marble into all of its surfaces, and serving dinner on the Moose’s restored mid-century-era tables. The Hub uses a clean energy smart system to reduce 11,000 kg/yr of CO2 — mitigating climate change, making it easier to breathe, and providing electrical support to at-risk residents in the event of power grid failure.
Learn MoreThe Millvale Food & Energy Hub is a community space for gathering, good food, and common cause. A project of New Sun Rising, the Millvale Food & Energy Hub gives a former Moose Lodge new life with a café, community kitchen, shared workspace, and an event space. Key tenants are New Sun Rising, Sprezzatura, and 412 Food Rescue, with additional sustainability and food-related nonprofits sharing workspace.

The warm community feeling is evident everywhere, from the cooks just steps away in the kitchen, casual conversations with servers, and the emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients. We survived the pandemic with Sprezzatura take-out: soups, salads, meals or desserts gave us plenty of options for comfort food.”
“Just quick note to tell you what a GREAT evening we had last night. Your staff was as wonderful as they always are — kind, friendly, smart. The food was amazing! I don’t know how you managed perfectly cooked steaks for so many. The menu was great and everything was delicious. But most importantly the evening was fun. Thanks for all. It was good to be with you and your team.”
