Have you thought any more about that project
Of exporting the piadina romagnola?
Two couples, four different paths meeting. This story begins at the University of Cesena where Gaetano and Federico get to know each other and share university life, especially the part where we have fun. Sooner or later, however, college had to end. In 2013 Gaetano opened “Gli Ingordi” piadineria with his partner Valentina. The kiosk immediately enjoys great popularity. The piadina is delicious, the location is apt, and they have a way with it. Instead, Federico travels and works as a chef in some of the world’s best restaurants. It is in the kitchen that he meets Nina, also a chef, who will become his partner in work and life. In 2017 they decided to return to Italy together. The four of them get together, and between a few beers and a few outings they think bigger. A the project “The Ingordi Lab” is born and comes to life. The rest of the story is still being written.
