As if every day isn’t an Italian food event at Eataly, the prestigious Milan-based culinary organization Identita Golose returns for its fourth annual takeover of the marketplace the weekend of Oct. 7-8. Chef Sarah Grueneberg, co-owner of Monteverde restaurant in the West Loop, will play hometown host at what’s dubbed Identita Chicago, and the theme this year: Great Ideas in the World: Pasta and Pizza.
Grueneberg will teach a pasta master class with Michelin-starred chef Luciano Monosilio, known as the “King of Carbonara,” of the innovative restaurant Pipero al Rex in Rome. They are one of four American and Italian chef teams teaching a quartet of master classes ($75 each).
