Our History

Born from the dreams of four friends.
BRUNO, ELIO, FRANCO and DANIELE
Catering has always been our job, but also our passion. Four partners, four friends who over many evenings together, amidst good food, good company and lots of fun, began to dream of a place where one could feel good and comfortable.
“We wanted to be able to give everyone, every evening, that extraordinary experience of light-heartedness and sharing the values and passions that unite us. We imagined it to be unique, familiar, offering genuine and original food with an unmistakable taste. 

We added our craft beer, the Galletto to be eaten strictly with our hands and lots of good music, that of Radio BEFED, our Radio. This is how the magic and the BEFED spirit was born”.

BEFED becomes sustainable

BEFED chooses to adopt a more sustainable policy. Placemats and coasters made of sustainable materials suitable for food contact, printed with special inks, are being introduced in all establishments. Although there is no obligation to do so, and although these specific items are not in direct contact with food, this choice is made in order to guarantee maximum safety for our customers and to support companies that are committed to offering certified, safe and sustainable products.
