CA’ PELLETTI
International Expansion
ACTIVITIES: Ca’Pelletti was founded in Bologna in 2013 and is the first fully Italian restaurant concept dedicated to the gastronomic tradition of Emilia-Romagna. The brand’s identity is that of a contemporary Italian osteria, open throughout the day and designed for young people, families, and groups looking to experience the warmth and conviviality of Romagna wherever they are. Fresh pasta, piadina, and traditional Italian dishes come together in a distinctive setting that combines rustic warmth with contemporary design. Today, Ca’Pelletti has five directly operated locations across Bologna, Padua, Milan, and Bergamo Orio, serves more than 400,000 customers every year, and sells hundreds of lasagnas each month. More than ten years of direct operations have enabled the brand to test, refine, and validate its model, creating a solid foundation for the next phase of growth.
PROJECT: Ca’Pelletti is a model designed to be replicated.
More than ten years of operational experience have been transformed into structured, transferable know-how, supported by standardized processes and a lean yet versatile menu designed to operate without relying on specialized chefs.
The use of high-quality semi-finished products ensures consistency, protects margins, and enables each restaurant to be managed by non-specialized staff, trained internally through innovative training systems.
A dedicated logistics platform ensures continuity and reliability of supply across the entire country. Since 2015, a continuous process of testing, learning, and improvement has consolidated the format across the five directly operated locations.
Today, Ca’Pelletti has an organized Head Office ready to support future franchisees at every stage: from location assessment to opening, from training to ongoing operational management.
The model is validated. The organization is ready. Ca’Pelletti can now grow through franchising across the entire Italian market.
