Rosa Salva
Catering Service
Ermenegildo Rosa Salva and his sons Antonio and
Enrico run in Venice the company that for over a
century has been the symbol of the best
confectionery and cooking tradition, which
pioneered the service we today call catering.
Back in 1870, Andrea Rosa, who ran a trattoria
called ‘Le Cassarole’, had the idea of making
his kitchen ‘mobile’ to supply meals. His
insight, well ahead of his times, proved a great
success. Andrea was increasingly more requested
outside the city, at the magnificent
aristocratic villas along the Brenta river, in
the Veneto region. Setting off at dawn, he
reached the villas on a river barge dragged by
horses.
It is the year 1879 and Antonio Rosa, called
Salva, who has inherited from his father a
‘travelling trattoria’, becomes a royal home
cook. It all begins in 1879 when ‘royal house
chef’ and Chief Pâtissier Antonio Rosa – ahead
of his times – makes his kitchen ‘mobile’ and
organizes ‘home delivered meals’. Prizes and
awards make him famous not only for his cuisine,
but also for his confectionery services.
In the 1920s Ermenegildo Rosa Salva, Antonio’s
son, improves and refines the art of
confectionery. He opens new seats, runs renowned
cooking schools, and is increasingly more often
called to plan banquets for public and private
events.
From the 1950s, Ermenegildo’s eldest son Antonio
leads the company with a significant
entrepreneurial drive: since then the services
of the ‘prize-winning company’ are requested for
the most prestigious events, not only in Venice
and its surroundings, but also across Italy. In
the 1970s, in order to meet the demand from the
mainland, Antonio opens a workroom and the large
Rosa Salva bar in Via Cappuccina Mestre.
Thanks to a structure that has become ever more
flexible and adequate to meet the changing needs
and tastes, today, over a hundred years later,
Ermenegildo – known as Lalo – and his sons
Antonio and Enrico still prepare pastries and
‘home delivered meals’ following the recipe of
their great great grandfather Andrea.
The strong inclination to hospitality of a
unique city as Venice, allowed Rosa Salva to
consolidate its success at the highest
international levels and standards. The catering
and banqueting company provides rich menus up to
over a thousand people for the most varied
occasions. Moreover, it fits out mobile
kitchens, buffets and tables, in addition to
kitchenware, crockery and table linen in
different styles. Over time, Rosa Salva has
consolidated relationships of total trust with a
selected range of suppliers who are able to
integrate all aspects of the fitting out
service.
The pride of Rosa Salva homemade quality and
flexibility in serving all requests for taste
and service originates from an experience that
has been passed on and renewed over six
generations. Prestigious institutions, prominent
international figures and ancient families are
among Rosa Salva clients. On the occasion of
ceremonies, conferences and summits, as well as
of the most exclusive parties in private homes,
Rosa Salva Catering is in a position to serve
their customers that include prestigious
institutions, heads of State, prominent figures
of culture, celebrities and families with an
ancient tradition.
Rosa Salva meets each specific event by
delivering table and buffet services with utmost
care for the richness and composition of menus,
the variety of food and fitting out, the
creative and choreographic aspects or the
elegant sobriety. The catering staff is always
qualified. Rosa Salva devotes particular care to
delivering an efficient, well planned and timely
service for brunches, business breakfasts and
coffee breaks. While keeping the quality and
variety standards, Rosa Salva’menus meet said
requirements.
Rosa Salva represents a high-quality homemade
production that in both Confectionery and
Cooking enjoys an experience backed by a long
standing tradition. The culinary and
confectionery arts that Rosa Salva devoted to
receptions, ceremonies and special events are
now consecrated by the international success in
Venice and across Italy. Princes, kings and
worldwide renowned personalities of the science
and arts were our clients. In private homes we
helped making the most important celebrations
unforgettable.
Rosa Salva cuisine has now established its name
at an international level. Constantly willing to
take up the new challenges posed by the
evolution of taste, it is often reviewed -
through the combination of creativity and
continuity - and adjusted to the current
seasons, to regional and highest Italian
tradition dishes. Rosa Salva confectionery that
includes all sweets requiring flour dough is
exclusively created by expert pâtissiers with
‘special’ techniques and exclusive recipes.
Sweets and desserts made of leavened dough, puff
pastry, biscuit dough, pasta genovese, almond,
hazelnut and chestnut paste, pâte brisée (pastry
crust), jam tart and egg custard desserts are
some of the homemade products Rosa Salva’s
pâtissiers create for their clients, private and
corporates, for any ceremony and event.
Ermenegildo Rosa Salva and his sons Antonio and
Enrico are the fifth generation to run the
business, marking a constant trend of growth and
success. The Company Ermenegildo Rosa Salva has
today over 50 employees and is articulated into
3 shops and two workrooms (one in Venice and one
on the mainland), where each product is prepared
under the direct supervision of owners, in order
to preserve and safeguard the high quality that
characterizes them.
