Restuarant Owner

Summary

Raised in a vibrant Sicilian household, culinary passion stems from my grandfather's trattoria in Syracuse, Sicily - a beloved local haunt. Papas' immigration to South Africa after WWII further nurtured a love for food. The kitchen has always been the heart of the family life, where cooking and hosting are an intrinsic part of the DNA. This lifelong love affair with food and hospitality has naturally evolved into a career, where I embrace and share the joy of creating exceptional culinary experiences.
