Disappointing Delights: A Review of Italy’s Food and Wine Festival Booth

Who keeps giving Italy a booth? That’s what I want to know. Cause this is truly awful. We’ve all known. I have been questioning the decision making at the Italy booth for years. Whether it be over oily pasta, the weird worms and dirt, or my personal favorite, the salmon push pop. Yes, salmon push pop. Let’s head to the Italy booth during this year’s food and wine to try the menu items. Honestly, when I saw the menu, I thought they were trolling me because the first one is Italian nachos. This is pasta chips, tomato sauce, dried ricotta cheese and a beef ragu. Also, expectation in the foodie guide versus reality was a little far off. And I honestly was convinced these were just wontons. But I was wrong. Okay, it is. It is like canned ragu. Oh my god. On a stale wonton? No, it’s not too thick? Yeah, too like stale. Stale before. Oh, thank you. Oh my god, that’s so bad for like, I think. This is nine dollars and twenty five cents. This whole dish was just way too oily. Way too bad. And for nine dollars and twenty five cents, this is a skip. Next up we have this incomplete looking presentation. This is beef meatballs with Rosemary focaccia and a pomodoro sauce. This is 8:50 and honestly just looks sad. Yeah, what are we doing here? Oh no. I mean, why do we even have a booth at the festival? And finally The vanilla cheesecake. This actually was a ricotta cheesecake, and I was pleasantly surprised. I will even overlook the fact that it was supposed to have a crust in the foodie guide but didn’t. Olive Garden would have been better. Look, it’s huge. Haha, okay, so I like that. I like it. It’s good. The strawberry. The strawberry sauce is actually really delicious. That is. That is tasty. But what’s the. What’s the price of it? It’s not lemon, right? This was 7 75. 7 75? So skip Italy, don’t waste your money. It was literally so expensive for no reason.
