Angelo, a Sicilian with hospitality deeply rooted in his family, began his career after completing his studies in Hotel Management. From an early age, he gained hands-on experience working in his family’s restaurants and bars in Sicily, where his passion for hospitality and guest service first developed.

His journey later took him to Malta for an international experience before returning to Sicily for a summer season in Taormina, one of Italy’s most renowned destinations for luxury tourism and international hospitality.

Driven by the ambition to build an international career — and by his long-term dream of opening his own restaurant abroad — Angelo moved to Singapore. There, he developed his expertise within the city’s high-end Italian dining scene, working for several years with established fine-dining restaurant groups, including experience in a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant.

These years allowed him to refine his knowledge of restaurant operations, premium service and the attention to detail required to create a truly memorable dining experience.

The Covid period temporarily postponed his entrepreneurial plans, but never changed his vision. In October 2024, that dream finally became reality with the opening of Caffe Italia in Singapore.

Today, Angelo brings together his Sicilian roots, international experience and years in fine dining to create more than simply a place to eat. His philosophy is centred on taking care of every guest throughout the entire dining experience, combining authentic Italian cuisine, attentive service and genuine Italian hospitality.

At Caffe Italia, the goal is simple: to make every guest feel welcomed, cared for and truly satisfied — from the first greeting to the last bite.
