Small B&B's with reception/concierge are rare (at least here in Florence), but while I would not totally exclude such "financial ties", they would be anyway with "good enough" restaurants that are not the "for tourists" ones, of course it may depend on cases, but it would not make any sense for the B&B or hotel to recommend a "bad" place, they would risk to irk the customer.
