Emilia’s Pasta hosting London's first ever pasta festival!

Headlining the festivities will be one of Italy’s and London’s most exciting and up and coming Hip Hop & Soul artist - and X factor Italia finalist - Davide Shorty (@davideshorty), as well as a handful of other musicians, who champion Italian culture.
Best of all, entry and all activities will be completely free of charge, whilst the kitchen and bar will still be open for takeaway food and drinks (via Emilia’s usual restaurant and bar menus) which can be enjoyed in thededicated festival ‘pasta picnic’ areas. Plus, there’ll be deckchairs, riverside benches and more open space dance spots (for those who are feeling more groovy).

Emilia’s are especially excited to be offering a variety of masterclasses to explore the magical world of pasta. One masterclass will see pasta chefs teaching the pasta making process from scratch, from making the dough to rolling to making 3 different shapes of pasta. For those who are firmly in the camp of eating pasta rather than making it, they will be offering a masterclass for that too, it’s all about pairing the perfect pasta shape to the perfect sauce. They will also be partnering with Boutinot Wines to share more about pairing the perfect wine to pasta dish and Rossella Cirillo to understand how to use leftover food from home cooking endeavours to move towards a zero-waste lifestyle.

Spaces for all masterclasses (and other activities) will be free - but limited - and bookable through Eventbrite
Emilia’s inaugural ‘Summer Pasta Festival’ is reminiscent of the traditional Italian ‘Sagra’, a festival that celebrates local food and drink by connecting the public with the producers, with plenty of feasting, music and fun along the way.
As evident in their now famous World Pasta Day annual event that offers free fresh pasta to all visitors, Emilia’s is a young company that thrives on ambitious events and in sharing its love for pasta and Italian culture with an ever-growing audience.

The festival will be running from 12pm to 8pm
[The event is being run in partnership with Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, Galvanina, Boutinot Wines, Baladin beers and the Campari Group – so expect delicious treats and fresh Italian drinks throughout the whole day.]
