Like last year, our gourmet restaurant Regio Patio has been awarded the prestigious Veneto Food Excellence 2023 recognition: the award recognizes 47 excellent Veneto restaurants, selected through a comparison of the most well-known and widely read food guides.
The initiative, called "The Land of Venice – Food Excellence" is organized by FIPE (Italian Federation of Public Businesses) - Confcommercio Veneto, with the patronage of the Veneto Region. The plaque presented to the winners, crafted from Vaia wood, is a sign of recognition for the positive image these businesses convey, both nationally and internationally, of the region.
Food and wine are a driving force behind regional tourism, and the hospitality sector, which comprises approximately 26,000 businesses in Veneto, employs over 120,000 people and generates a turnover of over €6 billion. "The award given to excellence in the restaurant industry," says Paolo Artelio, President of FIPE-Confcommercio Veneto, "is also a recognition of all our region's hospitality businesses. Recognizing these excellent restaurants is also a motivation for all our fellow business owners: a motivation to focus on quality, to not give up in the face of challenges, and to have faith in our ability to innovate, while respecting tradition and local, seasonal products."
We are proud to represent these messages and values in our Province again this year.
