Riconoscimento 100% Italiano


The ceremony honors professionals committed to promoting the authenticity of Italian gastronomy on the international stage.

Awarded as part of THE ITALIAN SHOW, the Riconoscimento 100% Italiano pays tribute to professionals and organizations that represent Italian food and wine culture outside Italy with authenticity and excellence.

This is neither a commercial award nor a competition, but an act of cultural recognition, intended for those who, in their daily professional activity, defend Italian identity through responsible and conscious choices, recognized expertise, and respect for supply chains, traditions, and territories.

Who is the Riconoscimento 100% Italiano intended for?

The recognition is intended for professionals engaged in promoting Made in Italy gastronomy internationally, including:

  • Italian restaurateurs abroad
  • Chefs, pizza makers, master gelato makers, and pastry chefs
  • Trainers and educators
  • Food & beverage professionals and operators

All share the same commitment: to represent Italy with consistency, responsibility, and authenticity, beyond its borders.
