MADE WITH LOVE, SHARED AROUND THE TABLE · SINCE 2011
Villaggio is a Sydney restaurant group founded by twin brothers Simon and Harry Kanaan, supported by their siblings and families, and built around a shared love of food, hospitality and welcoming places.
Chapter one · The twins
Long before Villaggio, there were two boys growing up side by side, with different strengths and the same goal.
Inspired by his father’s and grandmother’s cooking, Simon found his passion for food early. He took the lead in the kitchen, creating the recipes Villaggio is known for.
Harry grew up immersed in sport, and took charge of greeting guests, running the systems and making sure everyone felt at home.
For Simon and Harry, feeding people is how they show they care. Their bond as twins became the foundation of Villaggio.
Chapter two · The first table
Simon and Harry opened their first restaurant in Revesby, NSW.
In their words
Chapter three · Across Sydney
Each Villaggio sits inside a local club, with the same generous food and warm welcome.
Chapter four · The Villaggio experience
Nothing makes Simon and Harry happier than a table full of food, surrounded by family and friends enjoying it together. Generous serves, warm hospitality, and no one leaves hungry.
