Popular Casa Vostra pizzeria with long queues at Raffles City to open second outlet at Jem
The reception? Polarising. Some loved that you could get Chef Antonio's signature pizzas at a fraction of the price (from $15 per pizza) and at a more convenient location, since La Bottega Enoteca is located in Joo Chiat. Others found the quality to be inconsistent. And many had things to say about the long queues due to the restaurant's no-reservations policy.
Well, love it or hate it, you can't deny the restaurant's immense success, so much so that Chef Antonio has decided to open a second outlet in Singapore, this time in the heartlands. Casa Vostra's second branch is opening this September, 2025 at Jem in Jurong East. So if you're a Westie who's curious to find out if this popular pizzeria lives up to the hype, here's your chance.
The new 80-seater restaurant will be larger than the Raffles City outlet, which only seats 60. It will also serve outlet-exclusive dishes like the Prosciutto e Fichi pizza ($27) and baked scamorza ($6). Of course, Chef Antonio's trademarked Newpolitan and Doublecrunch pizzas will still be headlining the menu, alongside dishes like Mamma's Aglio e Olio ($15), made with a recipe passed down by Chef Antonio's mother.
Casa Vostra Jem will be located at 50 Jurong Gateway Rd, Jem, #01-03, Singapore 608549, and will be open for lunch and dinner daily.

France and Italy to collaborate on 'Made in Europe' initiative
Paris - French Economy Minister Eric Lombard and Industry Minister Marc Ferracci are scheduled to meet with Italian Minister for Businesses Adolfo Urso in Paris on Thursday. The objective of this meeting is to establish common ground regarding the challenges facing the European industry and the concept of "Made in Europe." The French ministers' offices informed journalists that their aim is to unite with Italy in advocating for the protection of European industries, intending to jointly present these concerns to Brussels. Among the topics slated for discussion is the survival of the European steel industry, which faces intense and, at times, unfair competition from China and the United States. The European Commission has indicated it will propose legislation in September to reduce steel imports into Europe by over 50 percent through various trade measures, a move supported by France. Discussions between the ministers of both countries are also expected to cover the automotive industry, with a shared goal to boost demand for clean vehicles manufactured with European content. Additionally, they will address the concept of "European preference," particularly in public procurement. The French Ministry of Economy and Finance noted that Italy is increasingly aligning with France on several policy positions, including nuclear energy, which Italy seeks to revive. Both France and Italy advocate for nuclear energy to be treated similarly to renewable energies within European legislation. The French ministers' offices further highlighted that competitiveness and technological neutrality are key areas of convergence with Italy. Thursday's meeting is being held at the Ministry of Economy and Finance as part of the annual ministerial meetings stipulated by the Quirinal Treaty, signed between the two countries in 2021. This meeting follows a display of "shared commitment" and "strong convergence" between Giorgia Meloni and Emmanuel Macron during a lengthy one-on-one meeting in Rome in early June, which aimed to alleviate recent tensions that have intensified since Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Cardiff among fastest-growing brunch destinations in UK
Cardiff has seen a 376 per cent year-on-year rise in brunch-related Google searches, according to data from Italian restaurant Lucia. The Welsh capital joins Oxford (3,700 per cent), Perth, and Ayr (600 per cent each) and Brighton (387 per cent) among the fastest-growing brunch destinations in the UK. Georgina Pellant from Lucia said: "The sheer scale of the year-on-year increase in brunch searches, particularly in places like Cardiff, shows that this isn't just a passing food fad. "Whether it's plant-based dishes, bottomless brunches, or picture-perfect eggs, the UK's appetite for brunch reflects a deeper shift in how people connect, eat, and unwind." Cafés and restaurants across Cardiff are adding creative new brunch offerings, from shakshuka and sweetcorn fritters to plant-based pancakes and themed weekend events. The growing popularity of brunch is linked to TikTok trends, global food influences, and post-pandemic lifestyle changes that favour flexible, sociable dining.

Swimwear market rides a wave of growth in 2025
The global luxury swimwear market is experiencing notable growth this year, driven by renewed consumer interest in holiday attire. According to exclusive data from the Joor platform, sales increased by 14 percent in the first half of 2025. This performance is explained by a 4 percent rise in volumes sold and a 15 percent increase in the weighted average price. This dynamic is particularly supported by e-commerce pure players, who are surpassing brick and mortar retailers in meeting this growing demand. Almost 3,000 retailers, spread across 105 countries, have placed orders on Joor. Half of them are located in Europe, a region that dominates the market with 60 percent of global swimwear sales. Growth driven by key pieces Among the most dynamic segments, cover-ups (plus 44 percent) and bikinis (plus 34 percent) are driving growth. One-piece swimsuits, tops and bottoms remain stable compared to the previous year. This trend reflects consumers' desire for items that are both functional and fashionable, perfectly in line with their travel plans and summer experiences. E-commerce, a key driver of the market The online channel is establishing itself as the main vector of this expansion. Consumers appreciate the ability to try on swimwear in the privacy of their own homes, which explains the success of pure players such as MyTheresa or ShopBop. This development encourages brands to strengthen their prospection with digital players in order to capture this growing demand flow. Europe, a vector for expansion The analysis highlights strong progress in the EMEA zone, with swimwear sales growth of 25% year-over-year. European retailers posted a 24% increase in volumes purchased, confirming their role as a regional driver. In Italy, the swimwear market is following a general trend favourable to fashion, according to the platform, recording 20% growth in wholesale sales of Italian brands over the first five months of 2025. Outlook for brands and retailers For brands, the priority is to personalise regional approaches. Using the right tools to identify new European retailers and address targeted offers is a winning strategy. Retailers, for their part, would benefit from enriching their swimwear ranges, notably by integrating features that facilitate stock management, such as the Product Sync application for Shopify. About this study This analysis is based on exclusive transactional data collected by Joor in the first half of 2025, covering swimwear sales from hundreds of brands and thousands of retailers worldwide. The study examines trends by segment, distribution channel and region, in order to inform the strategies of industry players for the coming season.
