PRLog -- PLANE & LEVEL COASTAL TAKES FLIGHT TO ITALY: A NEW CULINARY DESTINATION IN BALDWIN COUNTY Fairhope, AL – February 2025 – Plane & Level Coastal, Baldwin County's premier aviation-inspired fine dining destination, has charted a new course for 2025, bringing the rich flavors of Italy to the Alabama Gulf Coast. Known for its aviation-inspired culinary experiences, the restaurant has taken guests on a journey through global cuisines, from its signature Spanish tapas and exclusive curated wine selections to its latest destination:
Italy, which debuted in January 2025. Under the lead of Culinary Director Orlando Amaro, whose deep knowledge of world cuisine—especially Mediterranean flavors—has shaped Plane & Level Coastal's menus, the restaurant now pays homage to Italian cuisine. "This is more than just a menu change; it's an experience. We're bringing the essence of Italy—its warmth, tradition, and artistry—to Baldwin County," said Amaro. Expect handmade pasta, innovative yet authentic techniques, and a wine list that transports diners straight to Italy's finest vineyards. A Family Legacy Continues Plane & Level Coastal is more than just a restaurant—it is a labor of love. Following the sudden passing of its beloved founder in April 2024, Amelia Culwell and her children have taken the helm, ensuring that his vision of exceptional hospitality and world-class cuisine continues.

Plane & Level Coastal is about bringing people together, celebrating life, and creating unforgettable dining experiences,"
said Amelia. With Amelia and her children leading the way, they have also made thoughtful refinements to the ambiance, creating an inviting Italian-inspired setting. Fine artist Susie Cortez contributed original Italian-themed artwork to the restaurant's interior, along with a specially designed menu piece that complements the new destination.
