True Italian Pasta Week: The event

For one week 32 of the best Italian restaurants in Berlin will offer a first course of pasta (you have the choice between two really particular recipes and each portion is at least 100g), an Aperol Spritz, a Campari Amalfi or a glass of wine and an Averna for just 12€. The offer is valid in all Italian restaurants participating in the event (soon we will post the full list) and to enjoy these pasta specialities you just need to go to one of the participating restaurants and ask for the menu for the event. The True Italian Pasta Week is a Berlin Italian Communication’s initiative organized within the True Italian project in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Berlin. The event will take place during the Italian Cuisine Week in the world promoted by the Italian Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Agricultural Policies, University Education and Research and Economic Development. Campari, Aperol, Averna, Acqua Panna, San Pellegrino, Hotel Bramante Rome and Hotel Touring Bologna are sponsoring the event.

What kind of pasta you can taste at the event

The event aims to celebrate pasta in all its shapes. Among the recipes proposed you will find the classic fresh homemade pasta, made with eggs and flour (tagliatelle, fettuccine, lasagne, spaghetti alla chitarra, ravioli and any type of filled pasta), handmade pasta with semolina flour and water (orecchiette), potato gnocchi, crespelle and some types of artisanal and top-quality dry pasta. In Germany the average consumption of pasta is 8,5 kg per person a year (in Italy is about 25 kg).

The workshop to learn how to make fresh filled pasta

Would you like to learn how to make fresh pasta yourself? In occasion of our event Pastamadre offers the perfect occasion: a workshop dedicated to fresh filled pasta, ravioli and tortelli. The workshop, taking place on November 23rd from 5 PM, will be concluded with a dinner to enjoy together the pasta you have made, including a seasonal salad and homemade sourdough bread. Good Italian wine can’t miss, of course! The workshop will be in English and the price, including materials and dinner, is 49€. It’s necessary to register within 19th of November by sending an email to info@pastamadre.de. Here is the link of the Facebook event.

True Italian Pasta Week: the map

For the homemade pasta itinerary a map has be provided, on the model of the Berlin public transportation one, designed to illustrate all restaurants locations. The map is now available either as PDF, as Google Maps or in paper version as flyer in all the participating restaurants or at the True Italian office in Gryphiusstr. 23, Berlin Friedrichshain.

The True Italian project

The True Italian project’s aim is to enhance the authentic Italian restaurants in Berlin using a sticker with the project logo (filed with Deutsches Patent-und Markenamt). True Italian is also a dynamic platform which involves different events, tasting and cooking workshops. The project has been created and carried out over the years by Berlin Italian Communication. True Italian are all those Italian cuisine ambassadors that, starting form the choice of ingredients, prove every day the dedication to the high quality of their dishes. To be clear: when we talk about True Italian, we don’t simply refer to the chef or owner’s nationality, but we talk about the way they approach to the cuisine. Unique recipes and care about ingredients’ quality: these are the keywords of every True Italian restaurant.
