With an Italian father and Singaporean mother, Francesca was born and raised here. And over the past 30 years, her family has put down roots: The Da Paolo Group is widely known for its authentic, top-quality Italian cuisine and event catering.
While her work revolves around Italian eats, she says, “My cooking style at home is more local for a change!”
Dining out habits
“The truth is, I try to eat at my own [Da Paolo] restaurants and cafes to keep in touch with what’s happening on the ground. When I need a change, I order in Indian, Thai or Japanese food.”
