The ICCO Unico Primo Pentola d’Oro Awards gala promotes the excellence of Italian cuisine and its centuries-old traditions of rich flavours, regional diversity, and fresh, high-quality ingredients. The event is a celebration of Ontario’s food and beverage industry that recognizes the lasting impact of exceptional leaders who have dedicated their lives to creating remarkable businesses and contributing to the growth and success of the industry.
The food and beverage industry nourishes us, satisfies our taste buds, and fuels our social gatherings. It constantly evolves, driven by innovation and the changing demands of consumers. The Pentola d’Oro aims at providing a platform to not only recognize the achievements of great leaders but to learn from one another and to forge new partnerships that could shape the future of this dynamic industry.
By bringing together stakeholders such as restaurants, suppliers, grocery and beverage experts, packaging innovators, delivery providers, media, influencers, food writers, and bloggers, the event creates a vibrant and collaborative atmosphere.
