About us

Amaro Hospitality Group was founded in 2017, when Pavlos Kyriakou joined forces with like-minded entrepreneur Stelios Petsas. Driven by a shared vision to offer something lasting beyond fleeting trends, they set out to build a hospitality group rooted in soul, substance, and slow-burning elegance — where authenticity, emotional connection, and timeless experience come first.

We believe hospitality is the hard work of creating joy. Guided by Danny Meyer's Enlightened Hospitality, we prioritize the well-being of our team, knowing that genuine care for our guests begins within.

Our approach has never been about following trends — it’s about staying true to our values while evolving with how people live, dine, and connect. Over time, we’ve refined—not reinvented—what we do: elevating quality, deepening attention to detail, and offering experiences that feel personal, thoughtful, and consistent across all our concepts.

Rather than chasing momentary trends, we focus on what endures: authenticity, emotional connection, and intentional living. Whether it’s the comfort of a timeless dish at Bottega Amaro or the slow-living philosophy behind Istorja, our decisions are grounded in human experience, not hype.
