Chef Davide Cerretini — Restaurant Industry Advisor for Startup Review Platforms
An Indispensable Bridge Between Innovation and Real-World Success
With years of hands-on experience as a restaurant owner — and a well-documented victory over Yelp’s practices — I offer unparalleled expertise to help review platforms create genuine, valuable connections with restaurant owners. My unique journey in the industry gives me insight that outsiders simply can’t access. The restaurant business has its own language, its own rhythms, and a reality that only those who have lived it can truly understand.
I am the bridge for any company looking to succeed in this space — translating the complexities of restaurant life into actionable strategies that drive platform success

- Yelp Success Story: My public stand against Yelp’s practices has made me a trusted voice in the restaurant community, someone who truly understands how platforms can support — or hurt — owners.
