The 15th edition of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants event, which takes place on Monday, June 13that Cipriani Wall Street in New York, will include a new award to celebrate the vital role that hospitality and service play in the greatest dining experiences.

The Ferrari Trento Art of Hospitality Award will recognise a restaurant that elevates service to new heights, forging a unique sense of warmth, engagement and excitement for its guests.

The award is voted for by the same global panel of almost 1,000 independent experts who have created the list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2016. Each has selected their most outstanding front of house experience during the voting period, taking into consideration the overall quality of the service, the delivery of enhanced experiential elements, the welcome, ambience and environment.

It is great to see that also work of people in the front of the house will be acknowledged.
