In keeping with the metamorphosis and overhaul of Boat Quay in general, Pasta Fresca has had a complete facelift, boosting the overall atmosphere and ambience of this outlet for its following of loyal pizza and pasta fans.
In 1988, Mr. Carecci Salvatore started out his Italian restaurant business with only three simple tables, producing fresh pastas, sauces and ingredients, in a small premise at Bukit Timah Road. The prodigy of his company, Pasta Fresca Da Salvatore Pte Ltd, has since then rapidly expanded business from its home base in Singapore to China. Now, Pasta Fresca has four outlets in Singapore located at Bukit Timah, Boat Quay, Siglap, and Cuppage Terrace.
In early 1993, Mr. Carecci ventured into Shanghai, China and opened four outlets in Shanghai and one in Qingdao [Shanghai - Zun Yi Lu, Heng Shan Lu and Hong Mei Lu, Fang Dian Lu], [Qingdao - Middle Hong Kong Road]. All the restaurants are fully owned and managed under the brand name of Pasta Fresca.
Pasta Fresca has its own factory at the Pandan Loop Head Office where pastas, sauces and ingredients are made fresh daily. Besides producing for its own use, it also caters to major F&B outlets and other related businesses. It also has its proprietary products of wine, tomato puree, coffee beans and olive oil, which are specially imported from Italy. One testimony of its popularity is the numerous catering requests for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, Christmas and New Year celebrations. A strong management and operations team supports all these on-going activities.
Pasta Fresca believes in providing the freshest ingredients, for the best tasting dishes and hence providing pure enjoyment to its customers. Mr. Carecci succeeded in his business with this simple and proven formula and is now expanding not only in Asia but internationally.

The brand name RedDot traces my first encounter with beer brewing in South Africa. I was on a family holiday at Kruger National Park in the year 1997, enjoying the open Safari, where the wild animals roamed freely while visitors like us sat protected in our vehicles or the stockade for safety reasons. One afternoon, I passed two South African soldiers chatting away outside a broken down military truck a short distance from the stockade. To me, it would really be the highlight of my South African holiday if I could sit just in the open safari with lions, impalas and elephants roaming in the background. Driven by this curiosity, I drove out of the stockade to seek out these two soldiers. I wanted to join them to sit in the wilderness and to enjoy the thrill of being outside the safety of the stockade .
The soldiers were also happy to meet a visitor from Singapore. They offered me an unlabelled bottle of beer. Nothing beat having a cool beer to fight the sweltering heat in the middle of nowhere. I asked them for the brand and they said it was home-brewed. That was the first time I heard of home-brew. The South African soldiers assured me that it was easy to brew and directed me to buy the ingredients from a homebrew shop in Johannesburg. At one of the homebrew shops, I was asked whether I wanted to brew a Lager or an Ale. At that time, not knowing enough about beers , I was puzzled. The ingredients were packed and marked with either 1 red dot or with no marking at all to differentiate the products. I chose the packet with one Red Dot. That began my journey into brewing. As such, when I decided to set up a microbrewery, RedDot becomes a natural choice of a name.
Subsequent years saw me spending much time researching and poring over beer books, building brewing equipment on my own, experimenting and creating different types of beer. Finally, I decided to validate my knowledge in brewing in the States. The course gave me the confidence that I was in the right direction. RedDot BrewHouse at Dempsey is a passion that took almost a decade to materialize. Housing a brewery in a historical building, rich in military history and nestled in lush tranquil setting was just irresistible. An old dilapidated barrack was restored to what you see today with some of the original bricks that were 100 odd years old.
Recently we found another beautiful historical building at Boat Quay, south bank of the Singapore River mouth, a river that was the source of entrepot trade and life in early Singapore. The second RedDot BrewHouse now offers our signature beers from a row of old Chinese shop houses, rich in commercial history of our early Chinese settlers.
