With the opening of its 60th location in Venice, All’Antico Vinaio confirms that its iconic Florentine schiacciata is far more than a product: it is a global brand, recognized and loved worldwide.
Born from the entrepreneurial vision of Tommaso Mazzanti — now joined by partner Joe Bastianich — All’Antico Vinaio inaugurated its new store on June 30, 2026. The location sits inside Venice Santa Lucia Station, overlooking the Grand Canal: one of the highest-traffic hubs for tourism and rail transport in Europe.
How do you scale an expansion of this magnitude?
The answer lies in the perfect replicability of the format, fully aligned with the brand’s identity. From Florence to New York, all the way to Dubai, every store must be instantly recognizable and deliver the same customer experience — that genuine sense of Italian authenticity the brand is known for. No compromises, and full certainty of the result.
