Because I Believe in Our Italian Culture
Caffe Cinquecento was brought to life by a burning ambition to bring that culture to the Columbus Centre. Caffe was launched by Chef Luciano Schipano in December 2021. As President and Founder, he continues to drive the company’s success with sharp business acumen, creativity, and a finger on the pulse of contemporary Italian culture.
FATTI UN CAFFE'
There are many theories turning around this drink. Some say they cannot avoid drinking coffee because it is an unavoidable habit after meals, a kind of daily ritual. One of the most widespread reasons for drinking a cup of coffee in Italy is certainly socialization.
“Andiamo a prenderci un caffe’“, let’s have a coffee, or “ti offro un caffe’ “, I’ll offer you a cup of coffee, are sentences you will often hear uttering from Italian people.
No matter the time no matter the day it is always the right pretext to spend some time together with friends and drinks something.
BUONGIORNO! The morning begins with a breakfast comprising a pastry paired with a delicious, milky coffee:
– Cappuccino: a long shot espresso topped with foamed milk
– Caffelatte: espresso with more milk and less foam (the American version of Latte).
– Latte macchiato: steamed milk with a splash of espresso
FACCIAMO UN CAFFÈ! “Let’s have a coffee!”
