Our History
Over 15 years of growth
Gustavo Antonio Criscuolo founds RREM S.r.l. The company immediately focuses on managing real estate assets, with an emphasis on commercial sites, parks, and leisure and entertainment centers.
RREM manages the development of the Città Sant’Angelo (PE) outlet, overseeing every aspect: from interior and exterior layout design to the selection of leading national and international retailers, through to post-opening promotion. During the same period, RREM also oversees the development and management of three other shopping centers: Sidicinum in Teano (CE), Liz Gallery in Montesarchio (BN), and Aurelia Antica in Grosseto (GR). RREM specializes in complex commercial spaces and in managing their operational, commercial and structural challenges.
The year of Italy’s major real estate crisis: transaction volumes drop sharply. RREM responds with a business diversification strategy.
The new Food & Beverage division is born, spanning support and development activities for various brands: direct management of dining operations with Ristofficina, network development with Autogrill, and strategic consulting in Travel Food with Sirio SpA and Punto Grill Srl.
RREM takes on the coordination of the Caffè Concerto Modena project, a prestigious venue in the city’s historic center.
Launch of Italy on the Road, a new Travel Food brand: a modern, strongly identity-driven concept celebrating authentic Italian cuisine for high-quality travel dining. Amarena is born, a new Bar Bristot brand, with locations in Turin and Bologna inside Carrefour shopping centers.
RREM enters FGEL S.r.l., a company operating seven Bonetti-branded gelaterias, through a minority stake. The NewCo Italy on the Road S.r.l. and Amarena S.r.l. are also established, each receiving its respective business unit.

His career developed within the Sarni Group (Dining, Jewelry, Fuel, Real Estate), a business that today generates over €500 million in revenue and employs 2,000 people. Joining at a young age, he became General Manager in 2002, overseeing corporate organization, strategic retail development (Sarni Snack Bar & Food dining, Follie d’Oro jewelry) and real estate origination.
In 2004 he co-founded and became sole director of Project Service, a company specialized in property, facility and agency management for major real estate players and grocery retail chains. In 2007 he left his role as General Manager of the Sarni Group and, together with two private equity funds and a lead partner, acquired Finifast Spa — a historic motorway dining brand with €80 million in revenue and 750 employees — taking on the role of Vice President and CEO.
Before founding RREM in 2009, he coordinated complex operations in shopping center promotion and management, the creation of innovative retail formats, and strategic consulting for the restructuring of real estate and financial assets. Over time, he has developed cross-disciplinary expertise spanning food service, marketing, project management and corporate reorganization.
