Peroni's Taste of Italy presented by Fratelli Beretta hosted by Alex Guarnaschelli and Scott Conant with special guest Whoopi Goldberg

Italy on the Hudson

Bring your appetite to this all-out Italian extravaganza! Ring in the weekend with our signature Friday night event at Pier 86, home of the Intrepid Museum, with hosts and Food Network friends Alex Guarnaschelli and Scott Conant. There’s no other place you can taste all of Little Italy’s classics alongside modern twists from the best Italian restaurants all over NYC while dancing the night away to great music. Joining Guarnaschelli and Conant as the evening’s special guest will be EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg, who has a strong connection to Italy these days and has long been an admirer of the country’s celebrated cuisine. You’ll taste every Italian dish imaginable from crudos and braciola to meatballs and more. If you haven’t gotten your fill from the pasta alone, the authentic feast will also feature dazzling desserts plus beer, wine and spirits. When you’ve eaten so much wonderful food that you feel like a meatball – well, that's amore!
