Today, the group is run by the second generation – Francesca & Andrea Scarpa, and Guillaume Pichoir.

Desserts always appeal to me, so I have to show you these first.


Guests who are familiar with Da Paolo Gastronomia’s divine and much celebrated desserts will relish petite portions of Rich Chocolate Cake, Nutella Cake, Strawberry Tiger Skin Roll, Baked Lemon Tart, Valrhona Chocolate Slice and Banana Toffee Tart. Other crowd-pleasers include unique Mini Meringues in Lemon, Coffee, Cookies and Milk, and Chocolate flavours, as well as irresistible Carrot and Cream, Blueberry, Cookies and Milk and Baked Cheesecakes that are perfect for the sweet-toothed.

Here comes the main course, i was simply blown away. Everytime I attended a birthday party, it would all be chinese food, like fried rice, kai lan, fish fillet, lemon chicken, mushroom broccoli, yam paste, mango pudding, and more. All these became too mainstream. Its not special anymore, its boring for guests too.

So this is a very good chance for you to try out Da Paolo Catering and wow your guests! Maybe I could consider this for my wedding luncheon too! If I want to avoid having wedding dinners.
