Nourishing the future of hospitality
It is the only event in the world entirely dedicated to marketing for the restaurant industry.
It’s not a trade show, it’s not a general conference: it’s a powerhouse of strategies, tools, and inspiration for those who run a restaurant, a bar, a pizzeria, or any business in the food & beverage sector.
Now in its seventh edition, it has become a true watershed moment: participants leave with a new vision of their work. Every year, attendees come from all over Italy and abroad, ready to exchange ideas, learn, and share experiences with those who speak the same language—the language of business and service.
Beyond the stage sessions, the Festival is also a unique opportunity to connect with fellow restaurateurs: a chance to exchange ideas, celebrate successes, and discuss challenges with peers facing the same realities. It’s a real community, made up of people who want to grow—together.

14 OCTOBER 2025
The Food Marketing Festival is a free event designed for those who truly work in the restaurant industry.
Here you’ll learn effective marketing strategies to attract more customers, improve management, and grow your venue’s profits—without wasting time on sterile theories that can’t be applied in a real restaurant.
Discover how to attract new customers, build loyalty, and increase visit frequency—while also boosting average spend.
Because your venue shouldn’t just fill up—it should keep people coming back.
Build an autonomous, motivated, and responsible team.
This way, you can free yourself from daily operations and focus on the activities that really matter for growing your business.
Learn how to read and use your venue’s data to make better decisions and implement marketing strategies that actually work.
Because you can only improve what you can measure.
Running a restaurant, a pastry shop, or a bar today is nothing like it was 10 or 20 years ago.
The world has changed.
More demanding customers, ever-evolving technologies, competition everywhere.
And yet, many still run their restaurant as if it were yesterday.
Over 60% of restaurants close within 3 years.
Not for lack of passion, not for lack of sacrifice—but for lack of strategy.
Have amazing dishes? That’s not enough.
Without marketing, management, and delegation, your restaurant remains invisible.
If you feel increasingly trapped in daily operations, if you’re exhausted from work yet still see too many empty tables, it’s time to change course.
And the solution is simple: invest in yourself and in the future of your restaurant.
At the Food Marketing Festival, you’ll discover how to transform your restaurant into a profitable business, full every day. You’ll also learn techniques to delegate and reduce stress—without losing control.
The Food Marketing Festival is an interactive experience.
Connect with fellow professionals during discussions, coffee breaks, and lunch.
Restaurateurs over 6 editions.
Participating countries,
the farthest one came from Vietnam,
There was a time when I, too, lived inside my restaurant.
Always present, always rushing, always exhausted.
My name is Giuliano Lanzetti, owner of Bounty in Rimini—one of Italy’s most iconic themed restaurants and entertainment venues—and I know what it means to run a restaurant under pressure.
But I also know what it means to break free, change your mindset, and build a system that works—even without you being there every single day.
That’s what I did, and that’s exactly what I can help you do today.
STRATEGIES AND TOOLS THAT WORK
I founded Pienissimo, a company entirely dedicated to marketing for the restaurant industry. Every strategy I teach is tested in the field: first in my own restaurant, then in hundreds of restaurants all across Italy.
My goal? To help you work better, earn more, and get back to enjoying your life—even while your restaurant is full.
Over the years, I realized that individual tools or isolated courses are not enough: what’s needed is a complete, structured, and progressive vision.
That’s why I built a real training path, designed to guide you step by step throughout the whole year.
PIENISSIMO PRO
The digital platform I created to simplify restaurant management—from reservations to marketing—all in one tool. It’s the operational heart of the method.
The Pienissimo Academic Year
A complete program that guides you from A to Z: monthly training, exercises, strategic updates, and continuous coaching. It’s designed to deliver concrete, lasting results—not just theoretical pills.
FOOD MARKETING FESTIVAL
The great annual event where thousands of restaurateurs come together to exchange ideas, learn, stay updated, and grow together. It’s the moment when motivation ignites and the community grows stronger.
