The Offering

1. Allora – Italian Contemporary Attitude

We are in the heart of autumn, and the quintessential vegetable of the season is pumpkin. When paired with chestnuts, there’s nothing more autumnal. This dish is creamy and soft, enhanced by the texture of the gnocchi.

2. La Premiata

Tagliatelle pair wonderfully with everything, but when you combine them with a dried tomato and almond pesto, broccoli, and crunchy breadcrumbs flavored with herbs, they become truly divine.

3. Osteria Tressanti

Directly from Naples, spaghetti alla puttanesca has arrived in Berlin. With just a few simple ingredients—capers, olives, and cherry tomatoes—this dish transforms into one of the favorite sauces among Italians.

4. Cargo Gastronomia

Delicious scialatielli, a typical pasta from the Amalfi Coast, are dressed with a creamy pumpkin and leek sauce. The earthy notes of sautéed friarielli perfectly balance the sweetness of the pumpkin, while toasted hazelnuts add a delightful crunch.

5. Let Enzo Out

Homemade trottole are a unique pasta shape that perfectly captures and enhances the creamy pumpkin sauce in which they are immersed, complemented by thyme panko and toasted almonds.

6. Sicula Bar

This delicious recipe features casarecce, an unmistakable pasta shape, combined with cauliflower cooked in red wine, sultanas, almonds, and toasted breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs add a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tenderness of the pasta;

7. Caffè Maina

A pasta dish that boasts a refreshing flavor from Sorrento lemon cream, perfectly balanced by the creamy richness of vegan butter and cheese.

8. Lagalante

Orecchiette is a pasta typical of the Apulia region of Italy, and when paired with turnip tops, they become one of the most delicious and traditional dishes you can ever taste.

9. Mozzarella Bar

A variation of the classic Genoese pesto is rocket pesto, perfect for those who enjoy a hint of spiciness. When we add dried tomatoes and almonds to a nice plate of tagliatelle, it becomes, as we say in Italy, “la fine del mondo – the end of the world”
