Bringing Italian
culinary excellence
to the world.
GIMAC delivers concept-to-turnkey restaurant consulting led by seasoned Italian chefs. We design formats, train brigades, and hand over restaurants ready to open — anywhere on the map.
A complete craft, not a checklist.
Every GIMAC engagement is built on the same principle: a restaurant is a living organism, and Italian hospitality is inseparable from the people who serve it. We bring the chefs, the suppliers, and the systems — together.
Concept Development
From positioning brief to floor plan, we craft a coherent restaurant identity rooted in Italian culture and aligned with your market.
Turnkey Delivery
End-to-end execution: kitchen design, sourcing, hiring, training and opening — handed over ready to serve.
Menu Design
Seasonal Italian menus engineered for food cost, station efficiency, and the regional voice you choose.
Staff Training
Brigade onboarding in Italy or on-site immersion that codifies your standards into a repeatable playbook.
Franchise Models
Unit economics, manuals, and a replication blueprint for scaling a proven concept across cities.
Ongoing Consulting
Subscription-based menu, beverage and operations support that compounds after opening.
“We do not export restaurants. We translate the craft — the gesture, the salt, the silence of a well-set table — into places where people gather, far from home.”
— Giovanni Marcelli, Founding Chef
