About this Event
On Sunday 21st August, our Canary Wharf branch will not be running a usual restaurant service. Instead, the spacious, modern restaurant and outdoor areas, riverside terrace and surrounding parks and greenery will all be transformed into a summer festival filled with live music, various pasta-themed masterclasses and kids activities - all in the name of celebrating pasta!
Headlining the festivities will be one of Italy’s and London’s most exciting and up and coming Hip Hop & Soul artist - and X factor Italia finalist - Davide Shorty (@davideshorty), as well as a handful of other musicians, who champion Italian culture.
Best of all, entry and all activities will be completely free of charge, whilst the kitchen and bar will still be open for takeaway food and drinks (via Emilia’s usual restaurant and bar menus) which can be enjoyed in our dedicated festival ‘pasta picnic’ areas. Plus, there’ll be deckchairs, riverside benches and more open space dance spots (for those who are feeling more groovy).
We’re especially excited to be offering a variety of masterclasses to explore the magical world of pasta. One masterclass will see pasta chefs teaching the pasta-making process from scratch, from making the dough to rolling to making 3 different shapes of pasta. For those who are firmly in the camp of eating pasta rather than making it, we’ll be offering a masterclass for that too, wherein we’ll dive a bit deeper into pairing the perfect pasta shape to the perfect sauce. We’ll also be partnering with Boutinot Wines to share more about pairing the perfect wine to pasta dish and Rossella Cirillo to understand how to use leftover food from home cooking endeavours to move towards a zero-waste lifestyle.
Spaces for all masterclasses (and other activities) will be free - but limited - and bookable through our main Eventbrite profile ( )
Emilia’s inaugural ‘Summer Pasta Festival’ is reminiscent of the traditional Italian ‘Sagra’, a festival that celebrates local food and drinks by connecting the public with the producers, with plenty of feasting, music and fun along the way.
We can’t wait to see you on 21st August, from 12pm to 8pm, for a day full of celebrations and fun!
