Our Story
When Experience
meets Innovation
It was February 2014 when Ristoservice came to life in Arcore, born from the determination and more than 30 years of experience of its founders, Roberto Villa and Antonio Sabatino. Coming from a leading collective catering business, they decided to embark on a new challenge: to create a company that would offer a superior quality service, capable of transforming the very concept of corporate catering.

A state-of-the-art cooking center
The first steps were small but ambitious: a two-room office, an essential kitchen center and a lot of determination. 2015 marked the arrival of the first clients, but real growth was built steadily over the following years. Antonio takes the operational lead, while Roberto initially follows other projects, and then officially joins Ristoservice in 2018. This is the beginning of a new phase: from a small artisanal business, the company aims to become a key player in the industry. In 2019, with the opening of a new location in Arcore equipped with a state-of-the-art cooking center, Ristoservice makes the quantum leap.
The challenges and victories
In a competitive market, starting from scratch is not easy. The first major challenge was to become known, acquire the requirements to participate in public tenders, and stand out from more structured competitors. The strategy? Impeccable quality and service. And perseverance paid off: in 2019 came the first major milestone, the awarding of catering services for the Carabinieri Corps in several regions of Italy. An achievement that marked Ristoservice’s entry among the big companies in the sector, with an economic impact of about 5 million euros annually from 2019 to 2023.
Growth and Evolution
Founded as a corporate catering company, Ristoservice has gradually expanded its offerings. It has revolutionized the perception of corporate service, moving beyond the concept of “canteen” to introduce that of “corporate restaurant,” more focused on quality and customer experience. It has also developed a vending division for vending and a catering service dedicated to its customers.
Over time, the operating model has also evolved: from a single office managed directly by the founders, the company has structured a solid organizational chart, with sales, administrative, purchasing and human resources offices, as well as a network of area directors. Today Ristoservice has more than 1,000 employees, guided by a clear and shared vision.
Looking to the future
The foodservice industry has changed profoundly in recent years.
Today, customers are looking for healthier, sustainable and short supply chain food, and Ristoservice has been able to adapt, turning these needs into opportunities. The approach is flexible: not a standardized service, but tailor-made solutions for each reality, from the large production plant to the modern employee welfare-oriented company.
Guided by the values and leadership of Roberto Villa and Antonio Sabatino, Ristoservice continues to grow and consolidate, with a clear goal: to offer a dining experience that combines quality, innovation and attention to each customer’s needs.
