To explore his other love, that is cooking for others, he started his business in 1988 with a simple Italian restaurant of only three tables. The young entrepreneur’s insistence on using the freshest and best ingredients and his legendary friendliness with customers quickly made authentic South Italian food, and Pasta Fresca, into a hit with Singaporeans.

Company Profile

For 25 years, relying on instinct, careful research and fine-tuning his ideas with feedback, Salvatore built on the quick and massive success of his first restaurant to open up six more around Singapore Pasta Fresca restaurants since 1988, which are famous for their friendly atmosphere and have become the Italian restaurant of choice for the local people. His simple but proven formula of fresh food and great service is a true formula for business success.
