Bringing the essence of Italian flavours to Hong Kong, the eponymous pasticceria not only aims to spread the joy and sweetness of Italian pastries and dessert to Asia but also to expand its global reach through this city — a culinary melting pot of cultures and international cuisine, as it continues its 100-year long legacy.

Founded in 1920 by Giovanni Pina’s grandfather, the world-renowned brand has been in business for three generations and is famed for its use of century-old organic yeast and a rich variety of exclusive flour recipes. But what really led this concept to become an epitome of extraordinary baking art is the use of 100% natural, top-of-the-line Italian ingredients and the exclusion of chemical additives and preservatives.

Creating only the finest of authentic, classic Italian desserts, as a third generation, Master Chef Giovanni Pina has a slew of well-deserving professional achievements under his belt. Notably, he was the youngest pastry chef to win the International Pastry Gold Medal and the honorary title of Master of Desserts in 1994 and named one of the 100 Best Dessert Masters in the world, alongside an exclusive list of only six other Italian masters, so far.

As he continues the family legacy with his remarkable skills, expertise and unrelenting drive to improve and perfect the art of Italian artisanal baking, there is little left for him to prove, except that the essence of Italy lies in the beauty of fine pastries.
