When chocolate was introduced to the “Old World,” it was thought of as the drink of kings. DeSte aims to elevate it to that level once more. The Garibaldi Group of restaurants recently unveiled their latest venture in Singapore, pastry laboratory cum retail store DeSte.

According to Chef Roberto Galetti, Managing Director and partner of Garibaldi Group restaurants in Singapore, DeSte chocolates will be the “Cartier of chocolates.”

Now open for business, DeSte is the brainchild of pastry chef Stefano Deiuri, a fifth generation pastry chef who helped set up the Gold Restaurant in Milan for Dolce & Gabbana.

Chef Stefano experiments and dreams up new and mouthwatering adventures in artisan confectionary but also offers whole gourmet cakes. These cakes are strictly limited to Deiuri’s ability to produce them so quantity is severely limited.
