Reading Terminal Market Hosts Their First Italian Festival

This weekend, Reading Terminal Market is hosting their first ever Italian Festival, dishing out sample-sized nibbles from their wide array of vendors. Reading Terminal boasts that the festival offers “locals and tourists a taste of Italy without the airfare.” After checking out the menu, I’m inclined to believe this bold statement.
Highlights include sausage scaloppini from Giunta’s Prime Shop, the Termini Brothers Bakery’s famous cannoli, a make-your-own mini pizza workshop for kids from George Pizza & Pasta, a wine tasting with Pio Imports, a live pasta making demo from La Cucina, and a number of delicious sounding bites from Iovine Brothers Produce, including prosciutto e melone (proscuitto-wrapped melon), broccoli rabe crostini (sautéed broccoli rabe on toast) and bruschetta.
A dozen more merchants will be situated at tables in the Center Court, serving up over 20 Italian specialties. Members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia will be performing selections from La Traviata, an opera debuting in Philadelphia on May 7th.
