“My passion for food and hospitality began when I was only 15, in my family café.

When I was 20, after my graduation, I flew to Canada to be closer to Martina and I immediately found a job in a bakery, which was a perfect fit for me.

I also started working as a bartender and met other Italians, who, like me, had come to Canada looking for new opportunities. Together, we founded “Casa Italia”. I was full of hope and enthusiasm and I finally felt freer and more alive than ever.

After our child was born, on a trip back to Italy, we decided to take this leap of faith and open our own little place in Tuscania. We were making our dream come true.

After all the professional experience we amassed, it was clear what we wanted to create: a laid-back, dynamic, young and bubbly restaurant, with the aim of offering a unique and ambitious offering, which would stand out from the crowd, a new fusion of tradition and innovation.

Our vision had a legacy from our 10 years in North America, a completely different world from the one we found ourselves in once we returned to our hometown. There were initial difficulties, wrong turns and failures, but our will and willingness to believe in our project never faltered and everything paid off.

Today, we lead Cichi’s Ristobistrot with trust, collaboration and passion. Our shared passions and values define our goals, which we share with our trusted, young staff, the backbone of the restaurant and our secret weapon.

Our mission is to cook, look after our guests and allow them to enjoy the atmosphere at Cichi’s Ristobistrot.”
