"Chasing the unforgettable emotions of Italian hospitality"

Marco Fiorot, the first Italian restaurant owner in the country, truly revolutionized the restaurant industry in Kuwait. With his innovative and entrepreneurial spirit, he changed the landscape of dining in the region forever. 

Welcome to My Life

After few years working in kuwait in a local restaurant company,
In 2016, driven by my unwavering passion for food, I embarked on a daring culinary adventure by opening Vigonovo, my first restaurant in Kuwait. Named after my cherished hometown in Northern Italy, Vigonovo aimed to bring an authentic taste of Italy to the Kuwaiti market.

Despite the initial hurdles, I persevered, offering home catering services and pouring my heart into crafting genuine Italian dishes, always accompanied by a charismatic smile.

As Vigonovo’s popularity finally soared, we reopen our store, a new location in April 2019 at Al Khaleejia Tower, the inaugural tower in Kuwait City. Subsequently, in 2022, we further expanded the restaurant to accommodate our growing clientele.

On January 14, 2021, a date coinciding with my sister Giulia’s birthday, I proudly introduced Giulia Restaurant in Shuwaikh Industrial Area—a heartfelt tribute to her and a fusion of Italian culinary heritage with contemporary flair.

In the same year, we inaugurated a sprawling central kitchen, spanning 350 square meters, serving as a hub of artisanal craftsmanship where we meticulously prepare bread, pastas, sauces, and everything needed for our restaurants from scratch.

Continuing to diversify, on December 25, 2023, I ventured into the gourmet burger scene with a shop in Shuwaikh Cove Complex, catering to Kuwait’s discerning palate and expanding our culinary offerings.

Presently, my vision extends beyond Kuwait as I work towards transforming my Sicilian farm into a nature-inspired retreat, honoring ancestral traditions and offering guests immersive farm-to-table experiences.

Excitingly, I’m on the brink of unveiling my latest project—a culmination of years of dreams, dedication, and collaboration. While details remain under wraps, I’m eager to introduce yet another culinary and hospitality gem, promising a fusion of passion, innovation, tradition and Italy!

Stay tuned for the next chapter in my culinary journey!

"Chasing the unforgettable emotions of Italian hospitality"

Marco Fiorot, the first Italian restaurant owner in the country, truly revolutionized the restaurant industry in Kuwait. With his innovative and entrepreneurial spirit, he changed the landscape of dining in the region forever. 

Welcome to My Life

In 2016, I took a leap of faith and opened my very first restaurant in Kuwait. I called it Vigonovo, after my beloved hometown in Northern Italy. Food has always been a passion of mine, and I wanted to bring something truly special and authentic to the Kuwaiti market.

It wasn’t easy at first, but I refused to give up. I started offering home catering services, pouring my heart and soul into every dish I created. Soon, word began to spread, and before I knew it, Vigonovo had become a local favorite.

In 2019, I found a new, larger location for Vigonovo and opened a central kitchen, allowing me to expand my menu and share even more of my love for Italian cuisine. And just this year, I proudly opened my newest venture, a beautiful restaurant named Giulia, where I offer a modern twist on classic Italian dishes.

I am so proud of what I have accomplished, and I know that there are even more amazing projects in store for me in the future. Cooking and entertaining are my passions, and there’s nothing that brings me greater joy than creating unforgettable memories for my customers.
