“Right now, the restaurant industry is suffering and under duress,” Vincentini says. “Historically, Agua has always supported community efforts and fundraisers, so we are appealing to the Cayman community and Caymankind to support us now.”

More than anything though, Destro wants to see Bacaro reopen its doors and he offered some words to the restaurant’s patrons.

“Andra tutto bene, which is Italian for ‘everything will be all right’,” he says. “You’re all in our hearts and we cannot wait to see you back!”
