Our Story

A journey of passion, dedication, and culinary excellence that began over a decade ago

The Beginning

Tempo Cafe was born from a simple dream: to create a place where exceptional food meets warm hospitality. Founded in 2010 by Chef Marco Rossi and his wife Elena, our restaurant started as a small neighborhood bistro with big ambitions.

What began as a 20-seat establishment has grown into one of the city's most beloved dining destinations, but our commitment to quality and personal service remains unchanged.
