Yes, Ripu is all set to become a restaurateur with the launch of Italian restaurant Macchiato in Vashi, Mumbai. Sharing more details the handsome chef says, “This has been my dream all along and finally I could manage to get things sorted. I will have a dear friend, Chef Manoj Rai, as partner who is also an hotelier in Delhi. We will soon open the gates for the public.” When asked about the restaurant Ripu quips, “Macchiato is a finest casual dining café that will serve true Italian food and wine. It will have a very rusty appeal to it and will remind people of Italy of the 60’s. Preparations are on and I am looking forward to the launch. I am looking after everything closely and this is going to be a great start for me.” Tellychakkar.com wishes Ripu great success!!!
