Distinguished Guests:

As Co-Presidents of the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Ontario Canada (ICCO Canada), it is a pleasure and an honour to welcome you to the 9th edition of the ICCO Canada Pentola d’Oro Awards!

With the recent reopening and kick-starting of the economic recovery plan, companies are now ready to take a decisive step into the post-pandemic future, to prepare for what is beyond the horizon. As a facilitator of economic and business relations between Canada and Italy, ICCO Canada is working diligently for all of its members and network.

Our annual gala promotes Italian culinary lifestyle and showcases companies and professionals within the industry, in short, those who are wholeheartedly committed to promoting Made in Italy commerce in Ontario.

We want to express our sincere congratulations to all recipients of this year’s Pentola d’Oro Awards: Cataldi Fresh Markets Inc., Giulietta Ristorante, Eataly Toronto and Rossana Di Zio Magnotta. With ambitious actions and courageous determination, tonight’s winners are doing their part to face everyday challenges while achieving success and creating future opportunities. To all of our winners, we are extremely grateful for how your are making a difference to improve the food and beverage industry in Ontario.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Unioncamere Lazio, Lavazza Group and all of this evening’s sponsors. We are also extremely grateful to all our supporters and partners who have made this evening possible.
