Festival della Carbonara — Cucine Romane

Roman Cuisine Arrives in Busto Arsizio

All prepared by street chefs and paired with a selection of craft beers.

Music and Conviviality

In addition to the gastronomic offerings, the festival features live music and entertainment for all ages, in a convivial atmosphere with ample seating areas to enjoy the dishes. The evenings are enlivened by concerts and DJ sets that accompany the discovery of Roman flavours.
