72 hours, 41 Italian restaurants in Berlin, 9€ for a small portion of a selected Italian specialty, a drink and a sweet treat: this is the seventh edition of the 72 hrs True Italian Food Festival!
Sicilian arancini with porchetta, Neapolitan impepata di cozze (peppered mussels with bread croutons); Piedmontese baked tomino; Roman deep-fried anchovies with stracciatella cheese cream; Venetian sarde in saor (sweet and sour sardines)…
These are just some of the delicacies that you will be able to savour together with a cool drink (depending on the venue it may vary between Sarti Spritz, wine, beer or non-alcoholic) and, from this year, also with a little chocolate praline for a sweet conclusion! All this for just €9, from 29 March to 1 April, in 41 selected Italian restaurants in Berlin: this is the 72 hrs True Italian Food Festival.
The event is organised by Berlin Italian Communication as part of the True Italian project. Partners of this edition are Sarti Rosa, Crodino, Babbi and Hotel Life Source.
72 hrs True Italian Food Festival, the map
To guide you through the various places and streets of Berlin, we have created the 72 hrs True Italian Food Festival Map, a map based on the Berlin underground cartography in which all areas of the city are visible and the respective participating establishments are located. Inside you will also find for each restaurant its address and the speciality offered.
The map is available as a downloadable PDF and on Google Maps. A few days before the event, it will also be available as a printed version inside the participating restaurants or at the True Italian office in Gryphiusstr. 26, Berlin Friedrichshain.
72 hrs True Italian Food Festival, the Instagram contest
But the curiosities to discover are not finished! This year, too, we invite you to participate in the Instagram contest. How to join?

Our jury will choose the 10 most original, beautiful and creative photos, which will then be put to the vote on True Italian’s Instagram profile on Monday 3 April.
