what the new decree says – Italian Cuisine

One Italian out of four can't wait to go out to dinner again. But restaurants, as well as bars, ice cream parlors and patisseries will not reopen before June 1st

On Sunday 26 April, around dinner time, the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte illustrated the contents of the decree which will regularize the so-called Phase 2 emergency Coronavirus. It is a gradual program of concessions and reopenings which includes, among others, the measures affecting the restaurants whose business is still suspended.

Restaurants still closed, but take away

We will probably have to wait for the1st of June to see the gate of restaurants, pizzerias, ice cream shops, patisseries, bars and pubs raised, but if so far we have only been able to count on home delivery in compliance with the sanitation regulations, from May 4 it will be possible to buy takeaway food with precise rules: access the premises one at a time, avoid gatherings and consume food at home or in the office, but not inside or in front of the premises. The take away, however, had already been authorized by many regions in the past few days.

Economic losses and restaurants at risk

While the restaurateurs plan the restart by organizing to implement all the safety measures (for example, we are talking about guaranteeing a certain distance between the tables and placing Plexiglas barriers), the Fipe (Italian Federation of Public Exercises) has communicated that further prolongation of the closure of activities will cause loss 9 billion euros for a total of 34 billion since the beginning of the crisis and which is expected to closure of 50 thousand businesses with losses of 350 thousand jobs. Accordingly, according to estimates by the Fondazione Filiera Italia, losses of € 5 billion are expected for the Italian agri-food industry.

But yet…

The paradox is that, according to research by Nomisma's Lockdown Observatory, the first thing they would like to do 4 out of 10 Italians after the emergency, it is precisely that of go to the restaurant. 49% of the strongest desires are to embrace loved ones, but 43% would like to resume established habits such as going out to dinner.
