The Mutti Canteen is set in the idyllic Parma countryside within the production grounds of one of the country's most famous food companies, the family-owned tomato empire, Mutti. The restaurant, designed by Italian architect Carlo Ratti (who is also curating by 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale) and titled Quisimangia (translating from Italian as 'Eating here'), is 'step two' in the architect and the Mutti family's plans together - following on from The Greenary, the sustainable family home of Francesco Mutti, the business' CEO, which Ratti created together with Italo Rota on a nearby site.

With a tree growing inside it, The Greenary is certainly a piece of architecture to remember. The Mutti Canteen is still strongly connected to nature but offers a very different feel. Yet, it's still a project of high ambition and environmental aspiration.
