Excellence Food Innovation 2025 at Officine Farneto

From November 3 to 7, 2025, the twelfth edition inaugurated the new home of the event, the Officine Farneto, in the Municipality of Rome. The first three days explored the theme of « True Dining », a manifesto presented on this occasion to affirm authenticity, awareness, and responsibility in contemporary cuisine, with sessions on food and wine tourism, sustainability, innovation, and nutrition.

The last two days were animated by the Pastry Exhibition, the year's novelty, with demonstrations and masterclasses in high-end pastry—including a lesson dedicated to panettone—and four-handed creations between pastry and gelato makers. During the event, lifetime achievement awards were presented to two great names in Italian catering, and a highly attended panel discussed the relationship between chef creativity and artificial intelligence.

Roma Capitale participated with an institutional space that brought twenty-three agri-food companies from the metropolitan area to the fair as part of the « Cibo è » project, featuring wines, craft beers, organic oils and honey, cheeses, cured meats, flours, and artisanal pasta.
