Edition 2023

In Rome and throughout Italy, initiatives and events to enhance the restaurant supply chain, the culture of hospitality and conviviality. A chronicle of the day at the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, with the participation of Identità Golose.

It is since the last Identità Golose in Milan that we had marked a new date on our gastronomic calendar, that April 28. This will be from 2023 the Giornata della Ristorazione, an unprecedented grassroots, inclusive, supportive and deeply ethical annual initiative with the aim of celebrating sharing and a renewed sense of community.

Called the Giornata della Ristorazione per la Cultura dell'Ospitalità Italiana (Catering Day for the Culture of Italian Hospitality ), the initiative conceived by Fipe-Confcommercio with the creative and artistic direction of R&P Creative Studios, and scheduled annually on the last Friday in April, this year in its first edition on the 28th of the month.

That of catering in Italy is a true culture: it is the art of conviviality, of being together. And today is the day dedicated precisely to catering, an initiative conceived by Fipe, the Italian Federation of Public Establishments, which involves 5,000 restaurants throughout Italy, 500 Italian restaurants abroad. An initiative that received the Medal of the President of the Republic for its value. In studio Davide Rampello, Lecturer arts and crafts of the territories - Univ. IULM.

From Ora d'Aria in Florence to Armani Ristorante in Milan, from Amo in Venice to La Madonnina del Pescatore in Senigallia to Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, passing through establishments in Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Austrialia, China and Brazil: there are thousands of Italian restaurants-in our country and abroad-that have joined the first "Giornata della Ristorazione," scheduled for April 28, an event promoted by Fipe-Confcommercio (Italian Federation of Public Establishments), a true celebration of the made-in-Italy hospitality culture, which has made us famous around the world and is one of our most powerful tourist attractions. The goal is to create the first real, big event dedicated to Italian catering and to enhance a strategic sector that, after the difficult years of the pandemic, shows signs of recovery but, particularly for haute cuisine, is rethinking its business model, between costs and economic sustainability, as highlighted by the WineNews analysis.

Five thousand restaurants in Italy and 500 abroad, 85 local associations and 85 related local events. These are some of the numbers from Giornata della Ristorazione, which will launch its first edition on April 28.
