Street food, food truck and vintage are the three keywords for the adventure of Kostina, a business idea of Mr. Giuliano Castrenze and of the Chef Michele Bontempi, the owner of the restaurant La Dispensa di San Felice del Benaco, on the Garda Lake.
Street food is very popular nowadays and it keeps gaining ground in the collective imaginary, not as a temporary phenomenon but as a long-time tendency. For this reason, Chef Michele thought about expanding his business with a vehicle that can bring his kitchen on the streets.
The name Kostina refers to spare ribs – costine in Italian – which is one of Michele’s most delicious creation and it is the perfect name for the food truck that will promote their brand and their services at parties, public and private events, in Italy and abroad.
A vintage food truck with extraordinary quality that offers a new generation catering service. An itinerant restaurant by all means that can work efficiently at any event, also for multiple days.
Let’s try to elaborate the 3 keywords of the Kostina project.
