The fourth edition of Italian Cuisine Week in the World will run from November 18-24 with celebrations and events in cities around the globe.
New York City, known for its rich Italian food heritage, is participating in a series of tasting events and conferences. In particular, a partnership with OpenTable, the popular restaurant reservation app, offers discounted menus in twelve select Italian eateries in Manhattan, including Gnocco, Otto, Ribalta, and several locations of Felice and Tarallucci e Vino restaurants.
Opentable World Week of Italian Cuisine promotion includes fixed menus for lunch ($20 to $35) and dinner ($30-$50). Reservation can be made directly on the app or here.
“While Italian food is celebrated every week in New York,” commented Italian Consul General Francesco Genuardi, “we are thrilled that Italian restaurants are taking center stage on OpenTable, a powerful platform in the city food scene.”
Promoted by the Italian Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Italian Cuisine Week counted over 4500 events held in 110 countries in its previous editions.
This year’s theme, Food Education: the Culture of Taste, focuses on the healthy benefits of the Mediterranean Diet lifestyle, as well as promoting Italian agribusiness and food sustainability.
Buon appetito!
