Bambino’s New Apertivo Hour: Why It’s A Favorite For Vietcetera’s Business Readers

On May 17th, we celebrated the launch of the Vietnam Innovators by Vietcetera channel, with a launch event at one of our favorite restaurants in town, Bambino.

We are committed to continuing our mission of highlighting the stories of Vietnam’s business leaders and entrepreneurs. The new shows, including BizFF, will provide fresh perspectives and in-depth analyses of the business world, while the latest season of the Vietnam Innovators podcast will continue to feature insightful interviews with industry pioneers. Our host Hao Tran in English and our new host Dung Hoang in Vietnamese will be leading the effort.

A partnership built on shared values

To make this occasion even more special, we partnered with our friends at Bambino and Campari Group. Together, we hosted an Aperitivo hour on Bambino’s stunning new Campari Terrazza. This partnership was a natural fit, as both Bambino and Campari Group share our commitment to excellence and innovation.

Thomas Ho, Founder of Bambino and Leftovers, the management group behind Bambino, shared his thoughts on the partnership: "Partnering with Vietcetera for this event was a perfect alignment of our shared values of innovation and excellence. At Bambino, we strive to create unique and memorable experiences for our guests, much like Vietcetera does with its content. The Aperitivo hour was a great opportunity to bring together our community and celebrate the launch of the Vietnam Innovators channel."

Bambino: A culinary gem and a place for driving forward the “after work drink” culture

Bambino, one of Ho Chi Minh City’s hottest new restaurants, embodies everything we value in good business but in one of the most well-designed and thought-out restaurants in the city. A trendy version of the classic local trattoria, Bambino’s new Apertivo Hour is a perfect happy hour in a city that’s sorely lacking venues for the business crowd.

It’s a place where culinary creativity meets exceptional service, making it a perfect partner for our launch event. Bambino’s dedication to quality and its innovative approach to dining align perfectly with the ethos of Vietcetera. Just as we strive to bring forward-thinking content to our audience, Bambino delivers a dining experience that pushes the boundaries of traditional cuisine.

Our personal favorites? The semolina focaccia with whipped ricotta for an antipasta to start, followed by the macaroni alla vodka and any main from the dalla griglia menu can’t go wrong. The dolce, dessert, options you cannot miss with any, though a noteworthy favorite of our CEOs is the trio of gelato & sorbetto.

More about the Campari Terrazza: The perfect setting

The Campari Terrazza provided the ideal backdrop for the first Aperitivo Hour at Bambino. Overlooking the vibrant cityscape of Ho Chi Minh City, the terrace offered a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere where guests could unwind and connect. The combination of Bambino’s delectable bites and Campari’s iconic cocktails created an unforgettable experience, embodying the spirit of collaboration and celebration.

An evening of networking and inspiration

The launch event was not just about showcasing new content; it was about fostering connections and inspiring conversations. Attendees had the opportunity to mingle with like-minded individuals from various industries, sharing ideas and building relationships that will drive future innovations. The Aperitivo hour facilitated a relaxed networking environment, encouraging guests to engage in meaningful discussions while enjoying the exquisite offerings from Bambino and Campari Group.

We’re looking forward to hosting our Vietnam Innovators community at the Campari Terrazza every month. Keep on the lookout for updates!
