San Carlo Group and Sunset Hospitality Group Brings Signor Sassi Mare to Porto Cervo for Exclusive Summer Residency

San Carlo

This summer, Signor Sassi Mare will bring the timeless elegance and playful charm of Signor Sassi—part of the iconic Italian restaurant group San Carlo—to the luxurious coastal resort of Porto Cervo, Sardinia, for a highly anticipated summer long restaurant residency.

The residency will launch on the 15th of June at the You Marina Lounge & Restaurant, located at Piazza Azzurra, Porto Cervo. Guests will be invited to enjoy an atmosphere that blends effortless sophistication with relaxed coastal energy, with a menu that places a strong emphasis on the finest fresh seafood, seasonal ingredients, and classic Italian flavours.

Over the past four decades, Signor Sassi has evolved into a globally admired dining institution, renowned not only for its exceptional food but also for its sophisticated atmosphere and style. With established locations in London, Dubai, Riyadh and most recently Miami, the brand has become a favourite among celebrities, international travellers, Royal families and loyal regular guests who return time and again for its unique warm hospitable charm.

Signor Sassi Mare brings the true spirit of Italian coastal food to life in an elegant, luxurious alfresco setting. Designed as a place to savour the good life, Signor Sassi Mare, Porto Cervo invites guests to unwind with friends and family, enjoying long summer evenings, exceptional food, and the relaxed glamour of Mediterranean living.

The Signor Sassi Mare summer residency will be operated by Sunset Hospitality Group, the internationally renowned hospitality operator behind the hugely successful Signor Sassi Dubai, and other internationally recognised restaurant brands, such as Sushi Samba Milan, forming part of their growing footprint in Italy. 

Lorenzo Marras, President of Dining, SHG said, “My connection with Signor Sassi runs deep, we first brought the brand to Dubai, and watching it become part of the city's dining

fabric was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. This partnership with San Carlo Group feels like a story still very much in the making. Porto Cervo is a destination that demands the very best, and together, that is precisely what we intend to deliver. We look forward to welcoming guests to a summer they will not forget, and to many more ventures with San Carlo Group to come.”

Marcello Distefano, CEO of San Carlo Group, said: “We are delighted to bring Signor Sassi Mare to Porto Cervo, one of the Mediterranean's most iconic coastal destinations. Following the success of our expansion to locations such as Dubai and Miami, the upcoming opening continues our vision of creating unforgettable, luxury dining experiences in some of the world's most beautiful settings. We look forward to welcoming guests to a truly vibrant celebration of Italian summer living on the Sardinian coast.”
