From Week of Italian Cuisine in Vietnam:
Though separated by nearly 9,000 kilometers and located on different continents, Vietnam and Italy offer culinary traditions that are worlds apart yet wonderfully connected. While Italian restaurants often feature a pleasing “grandma’s specialty” among refined dishes, Vietnamese menus include “mom’s recipe” as a promise of full and heart-warming flavors. Italian chefs are famously picky about fresh ingredients, just as Viet grandmas and moms handpick the freshest produce at the market each morning. And the lively and noisy buzz of an Italian street food stall has a twin spirit in the vibrant street culture seen on every corner in Vietnam.
This November, celebrating “Week of Italian Cuisine in Vietnam” 2024, the Embassy of Italy in Vietnam warmly invites you to a unique cuisine fair where the sameness and differences of two cultures meet, connecting people through the universal language of street food.
The cuisine fair “From arancina to Bun Cha: A journey between Italy and Vietnam” will take place from 10:00 – 21:00 on Saturday and Sunday, November 23-24, 2024, featuring:
– Booths from some of Hanoi’s best Italian and Vietnamese restaurants: Gelato Italia, Luna d’Autunno, Fiorentina, Mediterraneo, Caffè Italia, Dragoncello, Cugini, Quan An Ngon.
