Good food, rescued ingredients, shared with dignity

We transform recovered ingredients into nutritious meals for people facing food insecurity. Our kitchen combines food rescue, professional cooking and hospitality to reduce waste while serving our community with dignity.

A non-profit social restaurant

Run by a local community organisation, Mater Fondazione in partnership with Food for Soul, Refettorio is committed to fostering social inclusion through the transformative power of nutrition and food rescue – with an immediate and palpable impact.

Building culture, everyday

We adore creativity and believe that art, in all its forms, can heal and bring people together in our lonely world. We bring world-class artists, musicians, architects and designers under one roof so that everyone in the community can enjoy the art and feel valued and welcomed.
