I checked in the Thom's Directories and the Rabaiotti Bros. don't appear until 1910 at no. 49 Amiens Street (for a couple of years before that, an Angelo Santi worked out of that address). The Rabaiotti's are listed as Merchants in 1910 and 1911. By 1914, they've expanded into no. 50 next door and are listed as Confectioners also.

There were Rabaiottis in Swansea when I lived there in the 1980s. I think they ran a café.
Flickr confirms they are still there.

Most of the well-known Italian cafe dynasties in South Wales came from the Bardi region in the 1920s/1930s.

I wonder if the Irish Rabiottis are from the same part of Italy?

Describing the Italian cafe influx into South Wales www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/proud-history-valle... This sentence struck me. "Various members of the Rabaiotti families also had cafes and ice-cream carts on the streets well before 1907." Perhaps the Irish ones came via S Wales.
