The Italian Street Food tradition

The great variety of street food is definitely one of the most popular aspects of Italian gastronomic tradition. Travelling all around Italy, you can taste traditional and genuine products that captivate your five senses: everybody knows that the eyes are the first thing that makes you want to taste food. One of Italy’s major wealth is the cuisine: recipes that are inspired by the tradition of the past, a fusion of customs that will be generously proposed at the Italian Street Food Festival. An event that allows non-Italians to know the best of Italy and makes Italians feel at home in Berlin, even if just for a while.
