October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when communities come together to support those affected by breast cancer, raise awareness about the disease, and fundraise for research. This year, we’re introducing a special cocktail that not only delights your taste buds but also contributes to a vital cause. Meet Rosa, a cocktail created with care and garnished with a whimsical touch of pink candy floss.
For every Rosa cocktail sold, £2 goes directly to a charity focused on breast cancer prevention. By enjoying this special cocktail, you’re contributing to critical research and support services for those affected by breast cancer.
Join Us in the Fight
We invite you to join us this Breast Cancer Awareness Month by raising a glass of Rosa. Whether you’re out with friends or hosting a gathering, this cocktail is a simple yet impactful way to show your support.
Together, let’s sip, savor, and support the journey towards a future without breast cancer. Cheers to making a difference, one cocktail at a time!

Our Signor Sassi restaurant is a hidden gem in London. Located in the heart of Knightsbridge Green opposite Harrods, the legendary Italian opened in 1984 and became part of the San Carlo Group in 2007.
San Carlo Group Chairman Carlo Distefano’s decision to buy one of the most celebrated restaurants in the Capital was not purely a business decision, Carlo has been dining there for over 25 years and has always loved it!
Signor Sassi’s signature dish is Spaghetti Lobster and, unsurprisingly, one of the most popular items on the extensive, ‘simple Italian’ menu at the flagship UK restaurant, and at our two Signor Sassi restaurants in the Middle East.
If you enjoy San Carlo we would highly recommend you visit Signor Sassi, it’s a truly great Italian dining experience. Book a table on 0207 584 2277.
We’ve been enjoying the lighter nights, sunshine and all the fresh ingredients that the new season brings and our chefs have been working hard in the kitchen developing menus to reflect the warmer months.
Using the finest produce flown in from the markets of Milan, delicious, light and colourful dishes bring a taste of the Italian Spring and Summer to your plate – and a burst of flavour to every mouthful.
Our experienced kitchen team have expertly matched seasonal vegetables, salads and fruits such as asparagus, green beans, peas, chicory, watercress, lemons and apricots and combined them with main ingredients from crab, mackerel and sardines to lamb and pork.
The new Spring/Summer menu will be available from 1st May – and it’s so enticing we can’t guarantee you won’t want to try everything!
So went to this Italian restaurant Signor Sassi Italian Restaurant in Knightsbridge, London last night. The food was exceptional and I’m not just saying it. The restaurant has 4 or 5 chains across the world and if anyone comes across any of them I recommend a must go
