EXPERIENCE. HOSPITALITY.

F          D

OUR STORY SO FAR...

TWO VERY DIFFERENT MINDS WITH

ONE COMMON MISSION:

"to craft

soulful spaces

where

stories unfold"

Fred De Luca and Diana Storin , hospitality experts in Bucharest

We are Fred De Luca and Diana Storin — two serial entrepreneurs brought together by a shared obsession with detail, atmosphere, and most of all, meaning.

Our paths crossed in Panama, after building separate legacies in various industries and different countries — and we discovered something rare: a common vision for hospitality and a new kind of space. Not just beautiful. Not just functional. But places with soul.

We believe the best destinations don’t just host — they speak. They carry a story. And they make you want to stay just a little longer.

"F&D" is where our shared passion becomes a platform for creating those places, again and again.

WHAT WE DO BEST?

“We design atmospheres that live beyond the moment —

bold, beautiful, and unforgettable.”

OUR PROJECTS

Best brunch in the port

Brunch by the sea, with a touch of elegance and wholesomeness on a sun kissed terrace on the Costa del Sol... we even managed to reinvent the sangría !

One became two. Then the two became the most beloved Italian destinations in the city.

Why? Because they didn’t just serve pasta.

They served presence, passion, and the unexpected.

Nightime magic at Lost Urban Beach Club in Panama

An abandoned oceanfront terrace? Most saw concrete and rust.
We saw sunset rituals, music in the air, sand underfoot, and cocktails infused with memory.

Best pizza and pasta experience

An aging Italian restaurant in a noisy city.

We didn’t just rebrand it—we reimagined it
and gave it a new voice and a story that vibrated with every detail. 

More than a café, ... an attitude.

A sleek concept where fashion meets fitness, and coffee fuels both ambition and style. An urban stage for the bold—young,  magnetic, alive.

SEEKING WHAT'S NEXT

In Romania today, our journey isn’t about what we’ve done, but about what’s left to do — one more daring challenge, one more impossible space to transform, maybe the next great partner bold enough to come on board.
