PURPLE has been appointed the U.S. public relations agency of record for Sant Ambroeus, the Milan-founded hospitality brand with a longstanding presence in New York and key global markets.

Sant Ambroeus was established in Milan in 1936 and has since become recognized for its commitment to Milanese culinary tradition and consistent approach to hospitality. Still family-run today, the brand has expanded thoughtfully over nearly ninety years, with locations in Italy, New York, the Hamptons, Palm Beach, Aspen, and most recently Paris, alongside additional international destinations. Sant Ambroeus's growth will continue in 2026 with the planned openings of new locations in Beverly Hills and Miami, as well as Dallas in 2027.

The brand is known for its all-day café and restaurant concept, offering classic Italian coffee service, pasticceria, and signature Milanese dishes. Each location reflects a balance of heritage and modern sensibility, maintaining a clear focus on quality, precision, and familiarity while adapting to the character of its local market.

Across its portfolio, Sant Ambroeus serves as both a neighborhood café and a destination for visitors, with an emphasis on consistent service, thoughtful design, and a refined yet approachable dining experience.

As ambassadors of Italian excellence, Sant Ambroeus continues to grow with intention, preserving the traditions and values established in Milan while expanding its global footprint. PURPLE will lead U.S. communications strategy, media relations, and brand positioning in support of the company’s ongoing development.
