Led by US-based Victorem Hospitality Group in co-management with San Carlo Group, the Hallandale Beach restaurant will “bring an authentic taste of Italian culinary excellence to South Florida’s dynamic, ever-evolving and internationally inspired dining scene”.
San Carlo Group first outlined plans for US expansion in 2023, with the Signor Sassi Miami project confirmed a year later.
Founded in Knightsbridge in 1984 and acquired by San Carlo Group founder Carlo Distefano in 2007, Signor Sassi has already expanded internationally, with sites in Dubai, Doha and Egypt.
“Bringing Signor Sassi to Miami marks a truly special milestone for us. Our family has always focused on creating restaurants that celebrate authentic Italian hospitality, and launching our first venture in North America is a very proud moment,” says San Carlo Group CEO Marcello Distefano.
“Miami felt like the natural home for Signor Sassi — a vibrant, international city that appreciates exceptional food, style and atmosphere. We’re excited to introduce our heritage, our flavours and our way of welcoming guests to a whole new audience. We’re confident that Signor Sassi will make every guest’s experience unforgettable.”
San Carlo Group operates 28 restaurants in the UK and 15 overseas.
Victorem Hospitality Group, owned by a group of local investors and led by Daniel Alberto Rodriguez was founded in 2022 with a vision to represent and develop premium brands while also creating its own concepts and experiences.
