The taste layer that powers
design-led brands.

How Trova works

One layer, two sides.

Curators choose.

Vetted, independent locals with a point of view handpick the restaurants, shops, galleries, and events worth knowing — and keep them current.

Trova refines.

Every pick is reviewed, then becomes structured, living data — editorial notes, context, hours. That is the taste layer.

Brands deliver.

The layer plugs into whatever you run — so guests, members, and users discover cities like locals.

For brands

Make everyone you serve feel like a local.

01

An editorial directory, ready on day one.

A vetted library of handpicked restaurants, shops, galleries, and cultural spaces, sourced and maintained for you.

02

One layer, any surface.

An app, a website, an embed, or an API. Trova fits into your product so people reach it inside the experience they already trust.

03

An AI guide fluent in your city.

Dinner recommendations, neighbourhood walks, events and workshops, answered in real time from your directory.

04

A smart channel back to your audience.

Each person’s preferences, saves, and interests stay with you — and stay yours — ready for personalised follow-ups.

For curators

Your city, through your eyes.

Curate on your terms.

You choose the places and write the words. No pay-to-play, no listings for sale — if it’s on your map, you stand behind it.

Get paid per view.

Your picks live inside the products of design-led brands. The more people view your recommendations there, the more you earn.

Tools that respect the craft.

The Trova app makes it quick to capture a place, shape the note, and keep your map current — with every other curator’s map there to explore.

Every place is here because
a person with taste chose it.

There are no star ratings on Trova, and no one can pay to be listed. Curators put their names behind every choice, and that standard is what brands build into their products.

Two ways into Trova.

Bring the taste layer into your product, or help build it in your city.
