Pizza, pasta and wine—the Italians certainly know how to live. Join the party and eat like an Italian this Sunday in the heart of Melbourne’s Italian foodie neighbourhood. The Segmento Melbourne Italian Festa will be taking over Argyle Square in Carlton from 10am and you can bet there will be plenty of live music, classic Italian cars, fun attractions and gelati. 

Award-winning chef Johnny Di Franceco will be supplying the pizzas, pastas and gelati alongside 400 Gradi and Zero Gradi teams. You won’t need to eat for a week after filling up on their Italian offerings, trust us when we say you’ll be going back for seconds (and maybe thirds and fourths). There will also be heaps of food and produce vendors for you to check out while you’re there, we’d recommend stocking up on gourmet goods to keep the festival going at home. 

Entry is free but make sure you register online in advance, you’ll need to show your registration barcode in order to attend. The festival will run this Sunday 18 April from 10am to 8pm for all ages. 

Keep the Italian food coming with the best Italian restaurants in Melbourne.
