Roma Food Excel

Roma Food Excel, the food industry trade fair in the Capital

Roma Food Excel is the international trade fair entirely dedicated to the food industry and quality catering, held at the Nuova Fiera di Roma, in the Ponte Galeria district along the Via Portuense. The biennial event has quickly become a benchmark for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector in Central Italy, attracting hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of agri-food professionals from the Lazio region and across the country to Rome.

Key supply chains

The fair gathers all the main professional catering supply chains under one large roof, offering operators a preview of new products, equipment, and industry trends:

• Bakery and pastry: ovens, leavened products, artisanal sweets, and high-quality semi-finished goods;
• Gelato: raw materials, machinery, and new flavor concepts;
• Pizza: flours, doughs, ovens, and pizza-making technologies;
• Beer and wine: wineries, craft breweries, and beverage distribution;
• Fresh pasta, bars, and catering: ingredients, food, and table service solutions;
• Public establishments and hospitality: supplies and solutions for the hospitality industry.

Show cooking, masterclasses, and competitions

Beyond the exhibition area, Roma Food Excel dedicates significant space to side events: show cooking, seminars, conferences, and masterclasses designed to inform and update operators on the latest industry developments. The professional competitions are a major draw, having seen pizza makers and gelato artisans compete in past editions: from the Trofeo Città di Roma for the art of pizza to gelato contests like the Gianicolo d'Oro and Aventino d'Oro, these are true moments of spectacle and technical exchange among professionals.

Made in Italy: tradition meets innovation

The common thread of the event is the promotion of Italian agri-food excellence, viewed through the dual lens of tradition and innovation. Roma Food Excel serves as a privileged showcase for companies looking to preview products and machinery to buyers and restaurateurs in a city that represents one of the most important catering markets in Italy.

A professional event in the heart of Lazio

Hosted at the Nuova Fiera di Roma exhibition center, easily accessible from Fiumicino Airport and the Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA), the fair is a networking and business opportunity for the entire Ho.Re.Ca. sector in the Lazio region and beyond. Admission is reserved for industry professionals, who can discover suppliers, trends, and new commercial opportunities over four days entirely dedicated to the world of food.
