Andrea Reitano is a self-made Italian entrepreneur with investments spanning hospitality, real estate, tech, and aviation.
From a young age, Andrea followed an unconventional path. After moving to Rome to study Economy and Finance, he began university at just 17. While studying, he managed short-term rentals, gaining exposure to an international clientele whose lifestyle inspired him to dream bigger.
At 19, with eight exams to go, Andrea left university and moved to London to learn English. What began as a two-month trip became a 10-year journey and the foundation of a hospitality career.
Today, Andrea is the Founder and CEO of Reitano Food, a fast-growing international restaurant group known for its commitment to culinary excellence, authenticity, and timeless design. Operating under Andrea’s private holding company, Reinvest Holdings, Reitano Food includes a portfolio of acclaimed concepts:
- Santo Mare (Marylebone and Venice)
- Osteria Romana (Knightsbridge)
- Osteria Napoletana (Notting Hill)
- Osteria Fiorentina (Chelsea)
- Forte Garden (Milan)
- Sopra and Forte dei Marmi (Miami)
Each brand, whether a refined seafood destination, a traditional Italian osteria, or an elevated private dining experience, shares a philosophy rooted in quality. “Food should be 51% of the experience,” Andrea says. “The rest, including service, design, and ambiance, matters deeply, but without exceptional food, you have nothing.”
In 2025, Andrea also co-founded Nonna Mamma, a casual dining concept that debuted inside Selfridges London. The Reitano Food group is now preparing for six new openings by 2027 across London, Miami, New York, and Mexico City, continuing to grow its global presence.
Beyond hospitality, Andrea co-founded SocialAsk (a digital marketing firm), Panta Rei (an artisanal olive oil brand), and CJC (a boutique aviation company).
