Italian Buon Ricordo plates. In 1964 the Buon Ricordo union of restaurants was founded in Italy. Every plate represents the culinary specialty of each member restaurant. Buon Ricordo translated means "good memory" and these plates were to provide the patrons with good memories of a good evening and meal at a particular restaurant. These plates look great covering a kitchen or dining area from ceiling to floor. We have a large variety available. The photo gallery shows a few examples.
