TESSILTORRE: excellence in quality, supply chain control and table linen culture

According to Paleari, the Italian restaurant industry has undergone significant changes. “In recent years many restaurants have gradually abandoned traditional tablecloths in favour of bare tables, paper products, or minimalist solutions. This trend, in our opinion, risks impoverishing the customer’s experience. People who choose an Italian restaurant also look for an authentic Italian atmosphere. A properly set table is part of our culture and of the convivial dining experience or which Italy is recognised worldwide.”

Nevertheless, encouraging signals are emerging. “The rising cost of disposable products and a renewed focus on table aesthetics are favouring a gradual return to textile table linen. In some venues we see fabric making a comeback. When the cost of paper approaches that of textile, many operators rediscover the advantages of a more elegant, pleasant, and durable solution.”

Tessiltorre’s core business remains professional table linens, complemented by a growing focus on linen cotton blends and premium-quality products. At the same time, demand for customization continues to increase. “More and more restaurants are asking for embroidered or logo printed napkins, turning a functional item into a powerful tool of brand identity and communication.”
