Hawaii may be a long way away from the rolling hills of Italy, but that hasn’t stopped the essence of Italy from seeping into the islands! Festa Italiana is Hawaii’s exclusive Italian festival, and a vibrant showcase of Italian culture and food.

Despite the geographical distance between Hawaii and Italy, this festival manages to bridge the gap, offering a delightful fusion of authentic Italian experiences and flavors from both Hawaii and Italy. Zach DiIonno, Event Director of Festa Italiana, and Francesco, the owner of Aroma Italia, joined Living808 today with the details and many delicious dishes! Chef Francesco even made a beautiful gnocchi dish during the live show!
