La Scuola at Eataly Chicago, the store located on 43, East Ohio Street. From Tuesday 14th to Thursday 16th October, this will be the location for the first edition of the Italian Food and Wine Festival, with 30 wineries selected by the Merano Wine Festival and important Italian chefs (photo credits terryssecondhelpings.blogspot.it)
Summer still needs to explode over here but we’re already thinking about the autumn, with the fifth edition of Identità New York (October 9th-12th) coming up, followed by a true premiere, that is to say the Italian Food and Wine Festival, which will take place at Eataly Chicago right after that, from Tuesday 14th to Thursday 16th October. Only a few pieces are missing in the programme but we can already say that the first of the 3-day-event will include an 8-hands dinner at restaurant Baffo, with 2 Italian-Italian chefs, namely Ugo Alciati of Guido in Serralunga d'Alba and Davide Oldani of D’O in Cornaredo, the authors of the entrée and the first course, and 2 Italian-American chefs, namely Alex Pilas and Katia Delogu (main course and dessert), who will come from Eataly New York to the store on 43, East Ohio Street, in the big metropolis in Illinois.

How about Thursday October 16th? We will return to the food side and again inside La Scuola, with two matching cooking classes: the first, from noon, with Ugo Alciati and Tony Mantuano, chef at Spiaggia, a great and historic authority with regards to Italian cuisine in Chicago, strong of his three-decade experience. The theme of the lesson will be truffle. In the evening, from 6 to 7 pm, another lesson during which Davide Oldani will confront himself with Lee Wolen of restaurant Boka, 1 Michelin star, a chef worth discovering. Details coming soon.
