Kimbo, the renowned Neapolitan coffee brand, proudly announces its involvement in the highly-anticipated international action/drama series, Hotel Costiera. Directed by Emmy Award winner Adam Bernstein and Giacomo Martelli, the series showcases the stunning Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Naples.
The show features a star-studded cast, including Jesse Williams (Grey’s Anatomy) as Daniel “DD” De Luca, a former Marine who returns to his home country to work as a “problem solver” at an exclusive luxury hotel in Positano. The cast also includes Maria Chiara Giannetta, Jordan Alexandra, Antonio Gerardi, Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno, Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, Alejandra Onieva, and Jean-Hugues Anglade.
Hotel Costiera is exclusively available on Amazon Prime Video in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Kimbo coffee, the heart of Bignè Bar
Kimbo coffee plays an integral role in the series through an innovative product placement project. The bar owned by the show’s co-protagonist, Bignè (Antonio Gerardi), is a Kimbo-branded space for socializing and connecting. In the series’ script, as well as in everyday life, coffee rituals are featured in every social moment, highlighting the authenticity of the scenes and showcasing Italian culture in a contemporary and international manner.
Partnership with Jesse Williams
The collaboration between Kimbo and Hotel Costiera is further enhanced by the involvement of lead actor Jesse Williams, who will support Kimbo on an international scale. Content featuring Williams has been and will continue to be released online, strengthening the bond between Neapolitan tradition and a cosmopolitan audience.
Exclusive events in Positano and Rome
Kimbo also played a central role in two exclusive events organized by Lux Vide and Prime Video to launch the series in Italy. The Influencer Day at Torre Sponda (Positano) offered an immersive experience for international creators, including a Neapolitan coffee masterclass curated by Kimbo. The official premiere in Rome at The Space Moderno cinema featured a red carpet, signature coffee cocktails, and appearances by the cast, celebrities, and international press.
Bridging tradition and international lifestyle
“Through this partnership, Kimbo continues to be an ambassador of Neapolitan excellence worldwide, bringing the authenticity of Italian coffee into an international narrative and lifestyle context that appeals to both Italian and global audiences,” says Massimiliano Scala, Head of Marketing at Kimbo. “With Hotel Costiera, Kimbo, the coffee of Naples, is now a prominent presence on Prime Video.”
Kimbo brings Neapolitan coffee excellence to over 100 countries, with subsidiaries in the USA and UK
A symbol of Neapolitan coffee and a true ambassador of Italian tradition, Kimbo continues to expand its presence in international markets, solidifying its role as a global brand. Today, Kimbo is available in over 100 countries, carrying the quality, expertise, and passion that have defined the brand since its founding in 1963 in a small café in Naples’ Rione Sanità district by brothers Elio, Francesco, and Gerardo Rubino.
Driven by its consistent growth abroad (17% increase in 2024), Kimbo has established a strong, dynamic international network. Its subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom serve as crucial hubs for strengthening its presence in English-speaking markets. These operations not only serve as key distribution centers but also strategic platforms for the brand’s commercial and cultural expansion, with the goal of sharing the authentic ritual of Neapolitan coffee with a growing audience.
“Internationalization is a cornerstone of our growth,” says Luca Piccini, Director of Kimbo’s International Business Unit. “Our mission is to introduce the world to the coffee of Naples – not only as a product of excellence but as a unique experience that brings people and cultures together.”
With a range of offerings for retail, HoReCa, and new frontiers of at-home and out-of-home consumption, Kimbo serves as an ambassador of a lifestyle rooted in taste, conviviality, and quality. Its strong international focus, combined with its deep connection to Neapolitan roots, continues to guide the company’s path – a balance of tradition and innovation that has made Kimbo one of Italy’s most recognized and beloved brands in the global coffee culture.
