The story of Regalo Italiano
Founder's Vision
The founders of Regalo Italiano started with a passion for authentic Italian cuisine and a clear observation: Italian restaurants in Tunis often offered a standardized or diluted version, far from true transalpine traditions.
Their vision:to create a true "italiano" restaurant, with the pizzaiolo's gesture working the dough, hand-kneaded pasta made fresh every morning, and regional recipes respected in their details. Regalo Italiano is literally a gift - a "regalo" - made for lovers of authentic Italian gastronomy in Tunis.
Concept Values
• **Authenticity**:regional Italian recipes respected in every detail
• **Absolute freshness**:pasta prepared daily on-site, ingredients sourced every day
• **Passion**:the love of Italian cuisine conveyed in every dish served
• **Friendliness**:the atmosphere of a family trattoria brought to the heart of Tunis
• **Premium quality**:imported Italian ingredients for the most iconic (DOP mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes)
Reason for franchise development
Regalo Italiano is developing its franchise to deploy its authentic concept in major Tunisian cities. A differentiating concept in a restaurant market for Italian cuisine that is often disappointing.
The Regalo Italiano franchise:
• Exclusive recipes and training for Neapolitan pizzas
• 10-day training covering cooking, service, and management
• Sourcing of Italian products through the network's central supply
• Guaranteed territorial exclusivity
