LUX Life Restaurant & Bar Awards 2018

www.lux-review.com Page 17 LUX Restaurant & Bar Awards 2018 “This hospitality is evident from the moment they enter Fiko. With a simple “buonasera” (good evening) our clients soon understand to be in an original Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, in Europe and Amsterdam too there are many Italian restaurants that do not offer a true Italian dining experience. We consider it important to share our famous Italian warmth with our clients, because we did not establish Fiko only to sell pizza or pasta, but to offer them an authentic Italian food experience, and this is our constant focus.” As in any hospitality business, in the restaurant market staff are essential for achieving success, and as such Adriano is proud to highlight how hard he works to cultivate a supportive, friendly atmosphere at Fiko. “My staff is mainly composed by dynamic and young employees. They are inspired by the success of our firm. The first step is to make them responsible for their job. I count myself lucky that I have wonderful employees who immediately understood Fiko’s values. “Every week we organize meeting and Brain Storming with our staff to constantly improving our job. We also have the Fiko drink family, an opportunity of fun and entertainment at the end of the job for our employees, which we host once a week. This helps to drive our values and ensure that staff are committed to supporting our valued guests and giving them the best possible service.” Looking ahead, as the Dutch Italian restaurant market grows, Fiko is braced to drive continued excellence and support even more clients to ensure it remains successful despite the increased competition, as Adriano is proud to conclude. “Moving forward, at Fiko we will continue searching for very high quality and exclusive products. Additionally, I am also working at two new food and beverage concepts. I am very excited because after almost one year of research I have finally completed the projects. I am aiming to open them by 2019. Currently, I am receiving compliments for Fiko by well-known and important businessmen. Amsterdam is giving me great satisfactions but is my starting point I would like to see Fiko grow and move into new regions so that we can build the brand and support even more guests.” Company: Fiko Contact: Adriano Favia Address: Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat 60, Amsterdam, 1054 BR, Netherlands Phone: +31 0208466706 Website: www.fikoamsterdam.com
