Apicius International School of Hospitality at FUA is the first academic entity in Italy to receive the WACS Recognition of Quality Culinary Education. WACS, the World Association of Chef Societies, has determined that Apicius “meets and in some cases exceeds” the association's educational standards. The hospitality division at FUA, particularly through the teaching methods and faculty members of the School of Food and Wine Studies, was evaluated by the WACS Education Review Panel for its commitment to and implementation of academic excellence. The resulting decision is a testament to Apicius' efforts to provide high-quality culinary education at the higher learning level instituted at its campus locations in the historic center of Florence, Italy.

Apicius is singular in Italy for its international perspective, innovative academics, and emphasis on the professionalization of its students of hospitality and culinary arts. Innovation and tradition intermingle within Apicius academics; the institution's position in a culturally and historically relevant city such as Florence calls for a respectful balance between the past/future and local/global contexts.
