The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce of Texas (IACC Texas) supports Italian Food & Beverage companies in their internationalization processes by connecting Italian producers with U.S. industry operators — importers, distributors, Ho.Re.Ca. professionals, and other market players — thus facilitating their entry and growth in the United States.
The Chamber organizes and manages B2B and B2C events and initiatives, as well as customized business missions, offering qualified professional support to help companies achieve concrete results.
Among its flagship activities, Taste of Italy stands out as the only event in the United States dedicated exclusively to Italian products. Launched in 2015, it took place annually in Houston until 2022, when a special edition was added in October in the city of Dallas, organized in collaboration with Eataly. In 2023, a special edition was held for the first time in El Paso, Texas, and in 2025 the event also debuted in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In March 2026, Taste of Italy Houston will return with the same format used over the past 11 editions, enhanced with numerous additional activities. For more information, please visit the dedicated section at the following link: TASTE OF ITALY.
IACC Texas also participates, with an area dedicated to Made in Italy, in the main industry events and trade shows in the South-Central United States, including:
Texas Restaurant Show (TRAshow)
Oklahoma Restaurant Association Expo (ORAexpo)
