Our standards
We want to offer our customers the best possible experience in fast paced environments. The standards of the gastronomy industry have party changed. Tradition, attention to detail and high quality-products can rarely be found in gastronomic companies nowadays.
To continue manifesting these standards our ice cream and pizza is being produced using only the finest ingredients and perfected recipes in our own premises. Our stores and furniture are designed and produced in Italy to follow the initial vision to transfer traditional Italian foods and in addition the specific style. When it comes to employees we rely on a long-termed
employment relationship and are super thankful and proud for every single one of our team members as they are an important part of our company.
