Italian restaurant business

The business is a fully equipped Italian restaurant in a prime, central location in Den Haag, specializing in authentic Sicilian cannoli and Italian culinary experiences. In addition to the retail store, the business has established a strong presence in the corporate events market, with contracts for museums, embassies, businesses, and exclusive events, among others.

Business Activities and Customer Base
The company focuses on both B2B and B2C, with embassies, international businesses, and museums as its primary business customer groups.

Key Figures
The current annual revenue of approximately €100,000 is generated solely from the front portion of the property; the rear section is currently used for commercial purposes to a limited extent and therefore offers room for expansion.

Strengths
Distinctive elements of the concept include live preparation (an experience rather than just a product), a brand story centered on Sicily, craftsmanship and the overall experience, and the combination of retail with events as an additional revenue stream. The company also has a network of suppliers and is ready to operate immediately.

Organization and Premises
The business is located in a prime downtown location (A-location) in Den Haag, with a commercial use designation for food and beverage services. The building was originally an office building and has been converted into a retail space, with the floor area expanded from approximately 40 m² (2022 to March 2025) to approximately 100 m² (since March 2025), of which approximately 10 m² is kitchen space and approximately 90 m² is restaurant space. There is a patio with approximately 3 tables and 6 chairs; the capacity consists of 6 tables and 20 seats indoors (easily expandable) and 6 seats on the patio.

Opportunities and Growth Potential
There are growth opportunities in expanding into a lunch, deli, or coffee concept (made possible by the expansion to 100 m²), collaborations with events and brands, franchise expansion in the Netherlands and abroad, strengthening retail and takeout operations, and further positioning as a high-end Italian concept.

Thanks to the existing interior, ice cream display case, and ambiance, the location is also suitable for an artisanal Italian ice cream parlor; there is currently no specialized ice cream parlor in the immediate vicinity. Other possible uses include a dessert bar, specialty coffee concept, lunch concept, deli, or a combination of retail and food service.

Scope of the Offer and Transaction Structure
The acquisition includes, among other things, the complete interior, equipment, supplier network, and operational know-how. The current owners are open to providing guidance or collaborating after the transfer—including potential product supply or support for events—and will also give a new entrepreneur the freedom to develop their own concept.

Reason for sale
The current owners want to focus entirely on the further development of the event concept (B2B and high-end events) and are therefore transferring the brick-and-mortar store to a new entrepreneur.
