We kicked off SOBEWFF®’s 15th anniversary with longtime friend Giada De Laurentiis! Host of multiple shows on Food Network, including Giada in Italy and long-running hit primetime series Food Network Star, she brought a taste of her namesake restaurant GIADA at The Cromwell in Las Vegas to the sands of South Beach.  We joined the widely recognized queen of Italian cuisine who hosted more than 30 of the nation’s greatest chefs serving up dishes originating from various regions of Italy behind the iconic Delano Hotel. We perused Piedmont, trotted through Tuscany, savored Sardinia, canvased Campania, sauntered through Sicily, and more – while sinking our toes into the sparkling white sands of South Beach. Whether you prefer a traditional spaghetti and meatballs or a cooler antipasto-style pasta salad or a savory perciatelli and chicken, this was a celebration not to be missed.  All complemented by pours from the Campari Italian Spirits Portfolio and Folonari wines.
