ICCI Ospitalità Italiana Awards Night

3rd Week of Italian Cuisine in the World

The Italian Chamber of Commerce will host the Ospitalità Italiana Awards night at the Banksmeadow SMEG Showroom on the 26th of November 2018.

Ospitalità Italiana is a complimentary, voluntary and annually renewable certification process which highlights the importance in the quality of services to the tourism/hospitality sector. In Australia, Ospitalità Italiana sets the benchmark for the expectations of Italian Cuisine, quality, Italian hospitality and the importance of Typical Products (DOP and IGP) and quality Wines (DOCG or DOC).

Over 1,100 Italian restaurants outside of Italy are Ospitalità Italiana certified, and over 900 have been declined certification.

Ospitalità Italiana aims to support and enhance Italian restaurants worldwide, the use of certified Italian Products and the importance of the true authentic Italian food culture which respects the standards of quality typically found in Italian hospitality.

The evening, organized in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Sydney to close the 3rd Week of Italian Cuisine in the 20181126 190924 World, will also feature the participation of Alex Toselli, President of the “Albergo Etico” project in Asti. Born in 2009 out of an idea by chef Antonio De Benedetto, who had welcomed into his restaurant a boy with Down syndrome who attended the Scuola di Formazione Colline Astigiane (Asti Hills Training School), the Albergo Etico is a hotel-restaurant where chefs, waiters and other staff are young people with disabilities. Within the semi-residential structure participants learn to perform all the hotel and restaurant tasks and then acquire all those skills that can later help them enter the workforce. After having presented the project in Argentina, Finland, Norway and Slovakia, Alex Toselli intends to introduce the project to Australia. For the Award evening Albergo Etico will provide a sommelier and a waiter who are currently working in the structure.

Refreshments will be served.
