The 72 hrs True Italian Food event: how it works

In order to take part in this unique tasting tour, the only thing you have to do is going between Wednesday September 23rd from 5 p.m., to the evening of Saturday, September 26th, in one of the 30 places participating in the event (scroll down to discover them all) and order the True Italian specialty. Choose the dishes that you are more curious to try and enjoy them accompanied by a fresh Aperol Spritz or a glass of wine depending on the place (but in any case it’s always possible to ask for a soft drink).  In addition, this year, due to the current situation that limits the number of people allowed in restaurants, almost every place will offer the possibility to take the True Italian specialty also to-go. The event is organized by Berlin Italian Communication within the project True Italian. It’s supported by the Italian Cultural Institute of Berlin and sponsored by Aperol, Acqua Panna, San Pellegrino and Movi.

72 hrs True Italian Food Festival, the map

In order to facilitate your tasting tour, we created the 72 hrs True Italian Food map: a metro map that indicates the location of every place participating in the event. It will allow you to check all the restaurants’ addresses, as well as their opening times and their True Italian speciality. The map is available both as a PDF file and on Google Maps. Soon you will find it also as a printed flyer in all the participating restaurants or at the True Italian office in Gryphiusstr. 23, Berlin Friedrichshain. This year we recommend you to a have a personal one: whenever you visit one of the 30 places taking part in the initiative and you order the specialty of the event, ask for the 72 hrs sticker and place it on your flyer. If you collect 5 or more (from different restaurants) send us a picture of the map (with your name on it) at trueitaliancontest@gmail.com before midnight September, 28th. You can be extracted as the winner of one of the two gift voucher worth 60€ each to spend on the website Movi, which offers high quality Italian product.

72 hrs True Italian Food Festival, the Instagram contest

But there is even more: the 72 hrs True Italian prizes are not finished yet! As always it will be possible to participate also in the Instagram contest. How? Just visit one of the 30 restaurants taking part in the initiative, take a picture during the event and post it on your Instagram profile before Saturday, September 26th at 11p.m using the hashtag #72hrstrueitalian, tagging @trueitalianfood in the picture and localizing the restaurant where the picture was taken. Our special jury will select the 10 most beautiful and creative pictures among all and these 10 will be posted on the @trueitalianfood Insta-stories on September 28th, where the audience will be able to vote the best three through a poll. You can win two stays in wonderful hotels in Hamburg (one of which also includes a three-course dinner), a massage in a prestigious hotel in Berlin and an entrance to a beautiful spa still in Berlin (all the prizes are for two people). More info here.

The True Italian Project

True Italian is a network that aims to preserve authentic Italian restaurants found in Germany through its brand (registered in the Deutsches Patent und Markenamt, the German patent and trademarks office), as well as a number of other initiatives and events held throughout the year. The project is pursued by Berlin Italian Communication/Berlino Magazine, a point of reference for the Italians and all those passionate about Italy who find themselves in Berlin. True Italian is made up of all the ambassadors of Italian cuisine who, starting from the produce selection, show their passion for spreading the culture of “good eating”. When we talk about True Italian, not only we do focus on the chef/owner’s nationality but also on their approach to food. Creativity in the recipes and high quality ingredients: these are the key focus points for True Italian restaurants. Other successful True Italian events are: the Italian Street Food Festival, the True Italian Pizza Week and the True Italian Pasta Week.
