Gotti Italiano apologised after Ambassador Dante Brandi took issue with the restaurant’s name and an event called Hip Hop Mafioso.
cna reported An Italian restaurant in Singapore has apologised for any offence caused by references to the mafia, after the Italian ambassador said the name of the business and an event named Hip Hop Mafioso were of “dubious taste”.
Gotti Italiano, located at Amoy Street, said it will “consider all options moving forward” in naming the brand.
Italy’s Ambassador to Singapore Dante Brandi criticised the names of the restaurant and the event in a Facebook post on Friday (Mar 8), saying: “Naming your club after an infamous criminal family and catching clients with a ‘Hip Hop Mafioso’ night is certainly not illegal, but – allow me to say – is definitely of a dubious taste.”
