In Marbella, on July 8, 2010 – The Da Bruno Restaurant group has applied for the award which endorses them with the brand ‘Italian Hospitality’ (Ospitalit Italiana), which certifies the authenticity of the dishes and that the products are of Italian origin which the restaurant chain offers in their five establishments in the Costa del Sol.
Recipes, ingredients and even decorative elements that bear the unmistakable stamp of wonderful Italy are the credentials that Da Bruno Restaurants, with over 15 years experience in the province of Malaga, presented to win the certificate.
The Ministry of Tourism and Economic Development of Italy, along with important Italian institutions such as the National Board of Trade (Assocamerestero), the Italian Federation of Food Industry (Federalimentare) and the Italian National Agency for Tourism (ENIT), are responsible to analyse and assess that candidates establishments meet the requirements in order to grant them the brand ‘Italian Hospitality.
To secure this honour, which certifies that after their long journey, Da Bruno Restaurants in Marbella keep the essence of the country of their birth in tact; they had to demonstrate that the dishes on offer meet with
Italian traditions, and that their menus offer at least 20% of wines with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Italian.
The brand, which aims to promote and enhance the value of Italian gastronomic culture, requires the presence of staff who can communicate in Italian, that the menu is written in correct Italian, and that there is a commitment to disseminate the culture and products of Italian origin, and it is upon these criteria the certification of Da Brunos will be based.
If granted the award, Da Bruno will display the corresponding official document, branding stickers and proudly display a plaque recognising its native land, Italy. The Da Bruno chain will continue in their good work, cooking quality Italian products which the chain offers such as its famous homemade pasta.
The network also forms part of the Italian Hospitality Guide which is also included in the social networks and sharing sites, like Facebook and Youtube, as well as appearing in specialised web portal.
