L’Arte di Mangiare Menu, Prices, & Review (2024 Festival of the Arts)

Shannon: A+ for presentation. Love all of the sauce options. Slight basil taste in each bite makes it extra delish.
Heather: Is it yummy? Yes. But it’s $8.50 for a small hunk of fried Mozzarella. Ridiculous.
Felicia: If this was $4, I would give it 5 stars. Good fried mozzarella and presentation is great. Plus love the variety of sauces. But the value is not there.

Shannon: Cold and bland. No thanks.
Heather: The shells tasted as if they were cooked 3 hours ago. Very tough. Great potential – poor execution.
Felicia: This is a good, basic pasta. Beef, cheese, red sauce, pasta. Good, but not special.

Shannon: Tastes like chocolate pudding which is a compliment in my book. Loved it.
Heather: My favorite thing here. Very rich, though – which I guess it is good that the portion size is so small.
Felicia: Well, I loved this. Nice cheesecake and chocolate flavor. Good size and texture. Big fan. Favorite thing at the booth.

Shannon: Quite like this light beer. One of the rare times when an Italy booth specifies the drink brand.
Heather: I just want something good. This is not it. It is FINE. But is it GREAT? Oh heck no. This is what you buy when you are too tired to walk to Germany.
Felicia: Turns out Peroni tastes just like Peroni, no matter the festival. Totally average and normal Pilsner.

Shannon: Not bad, not bad at all. Super tiny though.
Heather: It’s okay. Truly not bad – just not AMAZING. I can’t get past the prices, either. Which skews my thoughts
Felicia: Slightly sweet, slightly dry. Easy to drink, chilled red. It’s very light and mild.

Shannon: Not bad, but way too much money for a drink that doesn’t have the brand listed.
Heather: Honestly I just continue to be disillusioned by this booth. Generic “Prosecco”. WHY CANT THEY REVEAL WHO THE WINERY IS?!
Felicia: It’s Prosecco.

Shannon: Truly bad. Just a really bad taste for too much money.
Heather: This is a red sangria. Nothing more needs to be said.
Felicia: Tastes like light red wine with a hint of orange juice. Not bad but as is with everything at this booth, not a good value.

Shannon: Tastes like bland orange juice? Not a sangria-like taste at all.
Heather: This is a white sangria. Just a regular old white sangria. Not even a tiny hunk of fruit tossed in, though.
Felicia: Tastes like a mix of pineapple and orange juices. Not a good value.

Shannon: Same drink they have at other festivals. Artificially sweet. Like everything else at this booth, too expensive.
Heather: Not unique to this festival – they have it at nearly every one. And it also tastes like Country Time Lemonade to me.
Felicia: Tastes like lemonade and it’s delicious. But don’t think there is alcohol….

Shannon: Oh man. So sickly sweet. Nothing redeemable about it.
Heather: This is okay – strong mint flavor. But – it is very, very sweet. The price is a JOKE.
Felicia: Love the mint flavor and it’s a good cocktail. But is super weak and absurdly priced. It’s good if you don’t care about how much you spend.
