A former retail area has been converted into a vibrant food plaza featuring terraces, new dining concepts, and the addition of the Mondadori bookstore. The expanded line-up includes Roadhouse Meatery, Billy Tacos, I Love Poke, and Alice Pizza, alongside existing restaurants Farinella and Pastaria. Designed as a communal hub, the plaza encourages visitors to relax, connect, and extend their stay at the centre.
The refurbishment also upgraded the landscaping and shared areas across the site. Decorative trees, flowering shrubs, and open resting zones emphasizing natural materials and warm colors create a welcoming environment, while a wooden platform with greenery and large clay pots at the entrance provides a striking focal point.

Located just 20 minutes from Bologna and within reach of the Romagna Riviera, Ferrara, and Ravenna, Castel Guelfo The Style Outlets spans more than 24,000 sq.m. and hosts 110 stores, including ASICS, Calvin Klein Jeans, Colmar, Gap, Puma, and Kiko. Beyond shopping and dining, the centre offers a tourist information office, children’s play areas, and partnerships with regional institutions, reflecting its strong ties to the local community.
Eduardo Ceballos, Asset Management Director at NEINVER, said: “The opening of the new food plaza is a key outcome of Castel Guelfo’s strategic refurbishment. By expanding the dining offer and redesigning communal areas, we are reinforcing the centre’s positioning as a destination that combines shopping, gastronomy, and leisure.”
