Fabio Funai and his wife Daniela along with their two boys moved to Australia almost 7 years ago. Fabio was born in Germany and moved to a tiny island off the Sicilian coast where his early years were spent amongst the heady environment of his parents pizzeria. His future was cast when he slept with flour in his hair and the smell of oven roasted tomatoes in the air.
As a young man he moved to London where his passion for hospitality lead him to high end hotels where his customer service orientated personality had him managing teams of event staff as well as being ever present in the kitchen to watch, taste and learn. Even as a young man his long term vision was to bring outstanding quality foodstuff with exceptional service and attention to detail. He spent years learning from the best and waiting for his opportunity.
In 2013 The W Hotel in Barcelona seconded him to The Westin Sydney to run the catering service team and it was here he continued his culinary training. A serendipitous meeting with Bespokes’ previous owner afforded him the opportunity to follow his passion and he found himself the proud new owner of this well regarded business. Fabio and his family are all very involved, including 7 year old Luca who takes his role as chief taster very seriously!
Fabio continues to follow the W Hotels philosophy of ‘Whatever/Whenever’ (so long as its not illegal!) and to that end Bespoke Catering pride themselves on their menu flexibility – it’s not uncommon for a client to send their personal recipes for us to deliver. Whether your event is a wedding, a large corporate or school function, an intimate dinner or a milestone celebration, we are passionate about bringing you the finest food and the most skilled team of drinks and wait staff.

Cover-More has been working with Bespoke for a year. During this time they have exuded professionalism and creativity in their food and presentation. They have an obliging attitude, not to mention their punctuality and friendly service to Cover-More and our guests. With all these wonderful attributes shown to us, I am very happy to continue to work with Fabio and his team at Bespoke. We also receive positive comments from our guests who have enjoyed Bespoke’s delicious food.
MelissaNorth SydneyExcellent service, as Bespoke delivered to my office party on very short notice. Tasty selection that was, dare I say it, healthy as well Would definitely use these guys again. Even looking at the pictures on the FB page make me want to organise sooner rather than later.
