About Gruppo Ristoratori Itilaiani (GRI) - www.gruppo.com
Gruppo Ristoratori Italiani (GRI) is a not-for-profit trade association composed of Italian restaurateurs from across the United States of America. The association was founded in 1979 to increase the awareness of authentic, contemporary Italian cuisine and to promote its image through member restaurants, culinary scholarships, fundraising events and news media. Due in large part to the determination and influence of its members, and also to the scholarship programs, educational trips, lectures, tastings, trips to Italy and media coverage, GRI has helped foster the appreciation and knowledge of Italian cuisine in the United States since its inception in 1979.
