Italian Food Festival at Rosewood Corniche

Jeddah’s premier luxury hotel Rosewood Corniche is set to take diners on a culinary tour of one of the world’s best loved cuisines with its new two-week long Italian Food Festival.
Under the guidance of Italian Chef Massimo Larosa, an early age traditional pasta specialist who is flying into the Kingdom from Genoa, the team at Rosewood Corniche’s Habsburg restaurant will prepare delicious Italian food from live cooking stations representing four of the richest Italian regions: Liguria, Sicily, Campania, and Tuscany.
The hotel will offer a variety of original dishes, based on authentic ingredients brought straight from Italy especially for the occasion.
Extra virgin olive oil, authentic Parmesan cheese, and the famous Arborio rice will act as the basis for a range of dishes from Sicilian street food to homemade pasta, pizza, and sweets.
Prices for the festival are at SR 185 per person.
Visitors to the festival will be able to watch their pasta made from scratch, prepare their own pizzas, watch homemade risotto come to life and enjoy the very best seafood and complete their meals with a range of sumptuous Italian sweets.
“I am introducing traditional recipes that Saudi nationals have not tried before,” said Chef Larosa.
“What is special about the festival is that we have selected the very best ingredients so that our guests can understand the authentic flavours of Italy."
Hans-Peter Leitzke, managing director at Rosewood Corniche added: “Our aim of the Italian food festival is to offer guests the chance to experience new tastes while fulfilling their desire for well prepared and quality selection of dishes.”
Sponsored by Maserati Cars and Gulf Air, the second edition of the Italian festival is a special opportunity for Jeddah residents and visitors looking forward living a pure Italian experience in one of the most stunning red sea landscapes.
