WHY FRANCESCANA FAMILY?
We are a restaurant group. But first and foremost, we are a family. Francescana Family began in April 1995 when we opened a small restaurant with big dreams. As chefs and team members grew, new projects evolved to express their voice, their ideas, their perspectives. Today the Francescana Family is more than a family of restaurants around the world. It is also a hotel, an acetaia producing traditional balsamic vinegar, the Villa Manodori brand of artisanal condiments, as well as all of our cultural projects from Food for Soul to Tortellante. Francescana Family is tradition and evolution. Inclusivity and diversity. Innovation and experimentation. Inside and outside. Francescana Family is our beautiful present, that’s already becoming the past and making way for new ideas.
Because the future is not a place, but a state of mind, and you cannot inhabit it. You imagine it, you build it, you prepare it. It is necessary to learn to love it. That is why, as Massimo, says “In our future, there will always be more future.”
OUR TEAM
Ours is a team effort built on collaboration and mutual trust. We are people who work side by side, sharing goals, mistakes, insights, vulnerabilities, and dreams. We have never believed in rigid hierarchies or roles carved in stone. We are not a military brigade; we are a Renaissance workshop. A place where each person brings their own identity, story, and energy. A place where roles are shaped around people, not the other way around.
Every success becomes twice as meaningful when it is shared. Every disappointment feels half as heavy when you experience it alongside your professional family.
Joseph Beuys once said, “We Are The Revolution.” Change happens when we come together, when we blend cultures, perspectives, stories, and different forms of knowledge. It is human biodiversity that makes us unique. It is difference, not uniformity, that sparks creativity.
“On my own, I am Massimo Bottura. Together with my team, we are the Francescana Family.”
