Carmel, IN – April 8, 2024 – This week, The Omnibus Show welcomes Andrea Melani, owner of Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine and Caffè Buondì. He is an experienced Entrepreneur with a demonstrated history of working in the restaurant industry both at a corporate level and as an independent owner. He is skilled in Concept Creation, Business Development, Culinary expertise, Operations, and New Restaurant Openings.
Melani was born and raised in Riomaggiore, Italy. His experience in restaurants began in the late 1980s working in his family restaurant in the touristy area of Cinque Terre, located in the Italian Riviera on the northern coast of Italy. His family restaurant was the Vecchio Rio.
As the son of a chef and maître d’, he became a restaurant professional at a very young age. Serving tourists from all over the world, he learned that food brings people together. He developed a passion not only for food but also for hospitality. In 1998, he left Italy to pursue a career in the United States.
Melani is a devoted restauranteur with the strength of building relationships with guests, vendors, and staff. During the past 22 years in Indianapolis, Andrea has operated as a manager for Bertolini's, Morton’s and Bravo Italian Kitchen. In 2016, Melani co-founded, with colleague Emilio Cento, parent company Spiga LLC. Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine was his first entrepreneurial endeavor, which turned out to be an immediate success.
Within a span of two years and a half, Spiga LLC opened a second Convivio and Caffè Buondì. Meeting and exceeding the guests' expectations has consistently been Melani’s standard of operation.
