This is none other than Café Pascucci which is managed by CEO Rasangi
Weerasinghe and her partner Group Managing Director Dr. Sujeewa Lokuhewa.
Caffe Pascucci which is one of the world’s famous brands in Europe
opened its 200th door down Wijerama Road in September 2011.
“We are catering coffee and food. From Ice Green tea, Ice Lemon tea,
Ice Peach tea to espresso coffee”, Rasangi said speaking to the Zest.
Capaccino is the number one seller here and our food is of course mainly
Italian dishes.
Lot of our clients like to have the savoury items and soups and we
have got a wide variety of savoury dishes. We also have a unique powder
for the coffees and also have organic drinks.
Everything is fresh off the over such as pizza and we don’t have
anything pre-cooked and guests have the choice of choosing from a
variety of other dishes – hotdogs, pasta, rice, submarines, sandwiches
and more. The fast selling desserts are Tiramisu and Panna Cotta.
Themed with a black and red and white seating, the Caffe can
accommodate around 100 people. Rasangi added that there is free wi-fi
for people who want to sip a coffee while doing their work or catching
up with friends abroad.
“Most of our customers, around 70 percent are foreigners and they are
very happy with what they have. We also have a special area for events,
birthdays, seminars, and get together and can cater to around 50
people”, she went on to say. Most of the coffee shops are located in
Colombo 07 and we have unique spot as it’s more spacious and we have two
parking spots for the customers.
We have 30 to 35 people working on shifts and all of them are trained
thorough by experts and we get them down as well to keep them updated.
We are open from 7am to 11pm for breakfast, lunch and dinner and we
serve every kind and we are also a Halal certified restaurant.
Guests who are looking forward to head to Pascucci in the coming days
and months and are American Express cardholders are in for a special
treat as they are offering a 12.5 discount till February 2013.
They say coffee is being served everywhere but they only serve only
one blend as to Pascucci which serves eight blends of coffee. So I guess
all one and I mean by coffee addicts :)...should go ahead and try these
blends and flavours and see how it satisfies your coffee delight. |
