Le Refettorio is a social initiative founded by renowned Italian chef Massimo Bottura in collaboration with local partners in various cities worldwide. The project focuses on combating food waste and addressing food insecurity by transforming surplus food into gourmet meals for those in need. Each Refettorio, often located in beautifully restored spaces, serves as a community kitchen where professional chefs and volunteers come together to create meals using ingredients that would otherwise go to waste. By combining culinary excellence with social responsibility, Le Refettorio aims to restore dignity to those experiencing food poverty while promoting sustainable practices in the food industry.
