Festa Italiana

[Hard H2O]

I am going to be able to attend again this year.

We will be making side trips to Glorioso's Market and Sciortinos Bakery in Milwaukee.

Has anyone ever attended?

I went to Festa about 7 years ago when I was in college. It was fun, but not super authentic, I think. But there was good food and it's always fun walking around the Summerfest grounds.

I miss Sciortino's so much! My friend Kristina and I would head over to the Eastside on the weekends for our biscotti for the week! Yum!

I agree on th authenticity. I always question when food in the U.S. is advertised as "authentic". Taking any regional cuisine out of its region will compromise it in some way.

It is a great eating experience. If the food is good I am happy.

The last time I was there the Sciortino's booth had a casatina. It was a little cake that was incredible.

Festa Italiana, like most Milwaukee festivals, isn't really about food or even music. Its an excuse to drink beer at the Summerfest grounds
