With Twisted Sista we wanted to create an original and authentic concept best described as a place to indulge the senses. The Twisted Sista idea was to create a unique twist on a modern café combined with a Gelateria that will have you instantly wanting more.
We are Sam and Martha Di Salvo and we launched the first Twisted Sista in Fountain Gate Shopping Centre, Victoria in June 2011. Through dedication, our diligent hard work was recognised by winning 7 retail excellence awards including the prestigious “Best Retailer in Victoria” award by Westfield. Over the years this inspired us to push the boundaries of business to see what we were capable of. Twisted Sista was born from a vision to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement with a menu based on the freshest ingredients delivered with exceptional personalised service. We put everything we had into the business and worked harder than ever before. We soon knew we had created a recipe for success and with family at the heart of everything we do, we introduced our daughter Josie into the business.
Offering something new and unique in casual dining, the Twisted Sista brand became well recognised and our client base grew faster than we could have imagined. Josie is now playing a vital role in expanding the brand and taking the business to the next level.” Twisted Sista is renowned for incredible gelato displays, a welcoming atmosphere and a customer experience that is as visually exciting as it is delectable (yes the food really does taste as good as it looks!). In short creativity, amazing presentation and damn good food is at the very soul of the Twisted Sista brand.
As one of three sisters, Martha Di Salvo has always been affectionately known as the “Twisted” sister, so naming the business was easy.
“Putting a twist on life’s simple pleasures”
