With the theme of “Dining with the Italian cuisine: well-being with taste”, the event highlights Italian products, culinary traditions, and their connection with Italian's conviviality, hospitality, and good health.

During the event, a number of activities will be held to promote Italia's culinary culture, including a workshop and tasting event on fermented foods, a "Taste! The Italians and food 1970-2050” exhibition, a "Taste of Italy" exhibition, along with a "Casa Italia Wine Festival".

A consortium made up of selected Italian restaurants in Hanoi will prepare a special menu on a different theme for the event. 

First launched in 2016, the Italian Cuisine Week is an annual celebration of the culinary culture at the core of the Mediterranean diet.

Italian Food Week in Hanoi will last until Sunday.
