San Giovanni had a very special visitor.

Formula One legend Sebastian Vettel visited a local Italian restaurant yesterday.

The four-time world champion had a pit stop at San Giovanni in Sheepy Parva.

The restaurant shared an image of their staff with the former racing driver.

In July 2022, Vettel announced his retirement from Formula One at the end of the 2022 season.

Our lovely waiter Martin was very excited to meet Formula 1 legend Sebastian Vettel yesterday! We hope he enjoyed his pit stop to get all fuelled up with delicious Italian food at San Giovanni!
