# The 32 largest hotel and hospitality groups in Emilia-Romagna
Tamtam tracks 32 hotel and hospitality groups headquartered in Emilia-Romagna. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by CIRFOOD, Altro? and Chef Express. Their median headcount is 91. Half of them were founded in 1992 or later. The most common headquarters are Rimini (4), Bologna (3) and Parma (3).
The companies listed operate predominantly in the restaurant and food services sector, alongside some hospitality and event management firms, based in Emilia-Romagna. Most are mid-sized to large firms, with a few younger companies. Noteworthy examples include CIRFOOD, a major player in collective and commercial catering, and Chef Express, specializing in catering for travelers. Roadhouse S.p.A. offers a unique steakhouse chain, while GVM Care & Research focuses on healthcare and biomedical services. Dispensa Emilia provides traditional fast-service dining, and Club del Sole is active in the tourism industry.
A clear pattern observed is the strong concentration of food-related businesses, ranging from large-scale catering to specialized restaurants and even gelato production by La Romana dal 1947. Many of these companies, such as Chef Express and Roadhouse S.p.A., are headquartered in Castelvetro di Modena, indicating a regional cluster for the food and hospitality industry.

## How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
