Running this year with the theme of “Dining with the Italian cuisine: well-being with taste”, the event aims to highlight Italian products and culinary traditions, as well as their connection with conviviality, hospitality, and healthiness.

During the week, a number of activities will also be held to promote the Italian 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.

As part of the occasion, a consortium made up of selected Italian restaurants in Hanoi will prepare a special menu on a different theme.

First launched in 2016, the Italian Cuisine Week is a yearly initiative that aims to promote the culinary culture at the core of the Mediterranean diet.

Italian Food Week in Hanoi will last until November 19.
