CiPASSO, our journey
Sacrifice, passion and courage of its founders.
Aurica Danalachi e Oleg Grossu.
Aurica, born into a poor family and an academic degree in hand, never gave up in the face of difficulties and failures.
Oleg, who started out as a bartender's helper, became manager of important venues in the centre of Rome, climbing the heights of the catering world with a unique and revolutionary vision.
Together, they turned their vision into reality, creating CiPASSO, a restaurant that reached the top on TripAdvisor in just three months among more than 10,000 restaurants in Rome.
The story of CiPASSO is a captivating one, a powerful reminder that, with passion and resilienceone can overcome the greatest challenges and achieve extraordinary successes.
