It is clear that for a while the world will not be as before. Covid made us discover a new normality, which now looks like gold compared to the situation we were in during March and April. So, with restrictions and caution, Italy tries to start again!

the world of catering has undoubtedly been one of the hardest hits, with restaurants closed, some of them open for home delivery only, in an adverse climate, where people certainly did not think about what to order for dinner. Now, the time has come to start again, and for many to reinvent themselves! Catering has changed, both from a gastronomic and social point of view. But what will be the biggest changes?
