There's an exclusive 7-course Italian gala dinner happening in Vancouver

Anyone who loves food will tell you how incredible traditional Italian fare really is. It goes far beyond oven-baked pizza (although that’s still amazing).

On Wednesday, November 21 you can experience the finest Italian food during a seven-course gala dinner hosted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada-West.

Taking place at The Westin Bayshore hotel, the Extraordinary Emilia Romagna! Gala Dinner and Pasta Making show is set to represent the real treat of Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World. This week-long event (November 19 to 25) is aimed at promoting Italy’s agri-food industry and the tradition of high-quality food and wine.

If you ever wanted to treat yourself to an unforgettable culinary experience, this is it. You’ll get to delight in an exclusive Italian dinner (SEVEN courses) accompanied by premium Italian wines and various delicacies, inspired by Emilia Romagna’s most traditional recipes.
