Café Ciro: A Fusion of Italian Craft, Ethiopian Heritage & Coffee Excellence
The Story of Café Ciro: A Journey from Bean to Cup
For Robertino, coffee has always been more than just a drink—it’s a story, a journey, and a passion that began long before Café Ciro was born. Named after his original Italian name, "Ciro", his love for coffee was shaped not only in the bustling cafés of Italy but also in the heart of the world’s most celebrated coffee regions.
Born into a rich cultural heritage—half Italian, half Ethiopian—Robertino was destined to be connected to coffee. Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, and Italy, the home of espresso, both played a defining role in his journey.
After finishing catering school in Siena, Tuscany, he moved to London, where he worked in some of the best hotels, bars, and restaurants in the city. Over 10 years as a barista, he perfected his craft, mastering the art of coffee making while working alongside top industry professionals. But his passion for coffee extended beyond the café counter.
As a travel photographer, Robertino spent years exploring the world, immersing himself in different coffee cultures—from the vibrant markets of Addis Ababa to the espresso bars of Rome and Milan. His travels made him realize something profound:
🌍 After the sun and moon, the one thing we all share is coffee.
No matter where you go, coffee is a universal language—bringing people together, telling stories, and connecting cultures.
From Passion to Reality
Inspired by these experiences, Robertino set out to create Café Ciro, a brand that merges storytelling and coffee craftsmanship. His vision was simple yet profound: to bring the world’s finest coffee to life, one cup at a time.
At Café Ciro UK, we believe that great coffee starts at the source. That’s why we ethically and directly source only the finest specialty beans from Ethiopia, Colombia, and beyond—supporting sustainable farming and fair trade practices.
