Our Hospitality Talent Connection division offers you a clear and structured solution to find the right professionals for your business.
Whether you run a restaurant, bar, bakery, gelato shop, or any food & beverage business in Miami (or elsewhere in the U.S.), Love to Italy Academy LLC gives you access to a highly selected pool of young Italian talents, trained in some of the most respected culinary schools in Italy.
We begin by listening to you. We conduct an interview to understand the roles you’re looking to fill, the challenges with your current team, and the key skills that matter most to your success.
This allows us to identify and present only candidates who are genuinely aligned with your business.
Not sure if you can sponsor a foreign worker?
We help you evaluate whether a U.S. work visa (J-1, H-1B, O-1, etc.) is a viable option for your company.
You’ll have the support of two specialized law firms — one based in Miami and one in Italy — working in synergy to offer you complete and personalized legal guidance throughout the process.
We collaborate with some of the top Italian culinary and hospitality schools to identify motivated, well-trained professionals between 18 and 40 years old who are eager to work in the United States.
We carefully evaluate both hard and soft skills, as well as English proficiency (and Spanish, if required).
Our job doesn’t end with placement.
Once your candidate arrives in Miami, we stay involved. We conduct regular check-ins and provide a dedicated Academy contact to assist during the first months of onboarding. Our goal is to ensure a smooth integration and a long-term, successful working relationship.
