‘The designs are cutting-edge, the ambience – buzzy and relaxed, and I had a meal that stood in my mind for months later. One of Marchetti’s aims is for diners leaving the restaurant to feel great about themselves.’

‘I’ve helped develop some pretty iconic brands in my time, from Virgin to T-Mobile to British Airways. After a ten-year journey with Robert, I can safely say that he is the most remarkable of all brands.
