BELLA ITALIA! FOOD MARKET, TASTINGS & MORE FOR FOOD WEEK BERLIN

Back to work but still dreaming of summer? We get it. Here’s a little trick: bring back that vacation feeling with Mediterranean treats. The Food Festival Berlin (16–22.09.), organized by our friends at tipBerlin in collaboration with Viani, brings Mediterranean food culture to Berlin. The Food Market (21–22.09.) will take over Invalidenstraße, transforming it into an Italian oasis. Over two days, all 16 Italian regions will be represented at St. Elisabeth Church, with around 50 producers coming to town just for this event. Naturally, they’re bringing their finest specialties with them. What would our kitchens be without olive oil, balsamic vinegar and San Marzano tomatoes? If you want to try Ligurian olive oil or Campanian lemons, this is your chance. Outside, in the church garden, you can indulge in Neapolitan delights from Tiny’s Pizza or join a “make your own pizza” workshop. There will be porchetta sandwiches, and yes, even an oyster bar. Chefs Sebastian Mrohs and Francesco Todescato will be showcasing all things Italian risotto, introducing the koji mushroom, and presenting their sake. But the Food Market is just one slice of the pizza. The week will also feature tastings at Viani stores and special Italian dinners at some of Berlin’s best restaurants, including Il Calice. So, if you’re craving a taste of Italy, this is your chance. Bella Italia has never felt so near.
