A new restaurant is set to open later in February in De Pere: Orsetta Craft Kitchen & Bar. The new place will be owned and operated by a familiar face in the Green Bay food scene: Kelly Qualley, formerly the head chef at Hinterland Brewery.
- Orsetta is located at 109 N. Broadway, the former home of Bilotti’s Pizza Garden and Strada Pizzeria
- Qualley plans to open the restaurant after Valentine’s Day for dinner service, starting with a Wednesday through Saturday schedule
- The menu will feature Italian staples with a twist, including sourdough-crust pizza and some Asian flavors
- Qualley hopes to open the restaurant for lunch service and takeout orders in the future
- Video shows the preparation of a Sicilian-style pepperoni pizza

It’s a chef’s dream — opening their own restaurant in their hometown. We’re inside De Pere’s newest restaurant, where you can soon join us for a Sicilian pizza or a drink at the bar.
“Long noodles, bucatini, linguine, angel hair,” Qualley says.
