About International Street Food
An open-air restaurant in the center of Rovereto
For four days, the central Via Roma in Rovereto, in the province of Trento and the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige, turns into a long open-air restaurant. This is the International Street Food festival, a traveling event dedicated to street food that visits dozens of Italian cities every year, bringing the flavors of the world to Trentino. The event is organized by A.I.R.S. — Associazione Italiana Ristoratori di Strada, under the patronage of the Municipality of Rovereto.
Flavors from around the globe
The beauty of the International Street Food festival lies in its variety: along the street, diverse culinary traditions stand side by side, ranging from Italian specialties to international favorites. Among the dishes animating the stalls are Spanish paella, Roman cuisine, Abruzzese arrosticini, scottona beef burgers, Argentine specialties, American barbecue, Mexican cuisine, smash burgers, and the traditional Hungarian kürtős, a cone-shaped pastry cooked over embers. To complete the experience, Italian and international craft breweries offer a wide selection of beers on tap.
A traveling format stopping in the city
The International Street Food festival is one of Italy's most popular traveling gastronomic tours: it moves from city to city, and Rovereto is one of the most anticipated stops on the Trentino calendar.

The choice of Via Roma stems from a collaboration with local merchants to bring vitality and crowds into the heart of the city.
