Full projectQuestions we always get
Yes, 100%. A US citizen can fully own an Italian company (S.r.l.) and the restaurant it operates. No Italian partner is legally required. The professional license requirement is solved by appointing a qualified manager, which is what we do.
It depends on the area and the format. As an honest range: €150,000 to €400,000 to open from scratch in Tuscany or Piedmont, often less if you take over an existing business. We will tell you if your budget doesn't fit the dream, before you spend it.
Realistically 6 to 12 months from decision to opening night: company setup, finding and verifying the location, permits, build-out, hiring. Anyone promising 3 months has not done it.
No. But someone has to be there, in the dining room and at the town hall. That is us: we act as your operating partner on the ground, with weekly reporting you can read from the US.
We are not immigration lawyers and won't pretend to be. We show you the realistic paths, including the investor visa, and we work alongside the right professionals so the business side and the visa side move together.
