The Italy booth is where you can find a couple of food options and typically a lot of different beverages (sometimes 11!).
Located in the Italy pavilion, this booth is usually one of the more popular marketplaces, and it always has a long line. But, don’t ever let that fool you.
Unfortunately, in 2021, this booth was just OK and didn’t offer anything you can’t make at home or get at an Italian-themed restaurant.
If after reading the 2021 reviews below you still want to check it out, you’ll find it located just outside the Italy pavilion.
If you’re entering from Germany, it will be on your right. If you enter from America, you’ll walk a few more steps to find it on your left.
While some of the drinks were good last year, many of the options were overpriced. If you’re not an adventurous eater, this might be the booth for you.
Who knows if we’ll feel the same this year, but we’ll soon have more thoughts to share about the items in 2022. Stay tuned!
Here’s everything you need to know about the Italy booth, including reviews, photos, and our must-trys.
Important Note: The information below is from the 2021 Festival. The 2022 International Food & Wine Festival runs from July 14 through November 19. Look for updated reviews and information after it kicks off.

Mezzelune Croccanti
Crispy half-moon breaded mozzarella filled ravioli with pomodoro sauce.
Price: $12.00
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 2.3/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Usually love fried ravioli, but found this pretty bland.
Heather: It was tasty but not “special”. Tastes like the freezer section.
Felicia: Frozen fried ravioli with jarred red sauce. At a 1,000% markup.
Allyson: This is nothing spectacular and I wouldn’t go out of my way to order these. Average Italian dish.
Ravioli
Grilled chicken stuffed ravioli with alfredo sauce, Romano cheese, and prezzemolo (or parsley).
Price: $13.00
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 2/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Chicken in the ravioli was so strange. Didn’t love the flavor of this.
Heather: If you spent a lot of time waiting in the line, and you need protein because your body is weak, do it. Otherwise? Not worth the high price tag.
Felicia: Bland ravioli filled with bland chicken topped with bland Alfredo. Waste of time and money.
Bomboloni
Italian donut filled with cream, covered in powdered sugar, and topped with raspberry sauce.
Price: $11.00
Special Diets: N/A
Rating: 2.8/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Light pastry with delicious filling and tasty sauce.
Heather: Tastes like something I could get from the freezer section.
Felicia: This is a fine cream filled mini donut with a little bit of raspberry sauce. Not worth the money.
Allyson: They had these during Festival of the Arts and they taste much better during Food & Wine. They weren’t hard, but soft and tasty. That said, not worth $11.
Pinot Grigio
Pinot Grigio white wine.
Price: $10.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 2/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Surprised how bad this Pinot Grigio is. Funky taste.
Heather: Rests easy on the tongue. (Is this something that is said about wine?)
Felicia: Too sweet and overpriced.
Allyson: Eh. Wine.
Chianti
Price: $10.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 1.8/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Vinegary taste. Didn’t enjoy.
Heather: No.
Felicia: Decent red wine and a good size portion.
Allyson: Eh. Wine.
Prosecco
A dry sparkling white wine.
Price: $10.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 2.8/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Boring, and kinda bitter.
Heather: Too thick of a flavor. I don’t know how to describe wine. Sorry, people.
Felicia: This is a good Prosecco, but I wouldn’t wait in the line for it.
Allyson: I love Prosecco and really enjoyed this. But, also nothing super exciting or that you can’t get at home.
Rosa Regale
A sweet and fruity sparkling red wine made in Piedmont, Italy.
Price: $11.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 2.5/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: This is gross.
Heather: I don’t hate this. I actually kinda like it.
Felicia: Taste like sparkling red grape juice but costs 10x as much.
Allyson: My tastes buds weren’t wowed.
Moscato
Moscato sweet white wine.
Price: $11.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 3/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Not too sweet. I liked this.
Heather: Please don’t yell at me, but I like a Moscato and this one is pretty good.
Felicia: This is very sweet and, like everything else at this booth, overpriced.
Allyson: I like Moscato, but this isn’t anything exciting, especially for the price.
Italian White Sangria
An Italian white sangria made with prosecco.
Price: $11.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 3.3/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Really delicious. Fruity juice taste. Mix it up to taste the Prosecco.
Heather: I can taste juice…but I can’t detect any alcohol so I feel like I’m being lied to.
Felicia: Tastes like pineapple, mango, and orange juice with extra sugar added and no alcohol.
Allyson: Tastes like juice and goes down easy, but $11? Not sure it’s worth that.
Italian Red Sangria
An Italian red sangria made with Cabernet Sauvignon wine.
Price: $11.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 2.3/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Normally like red sangria, but this didn’t taste anything like sangria.
Heather: Great juicy flavor….but if there is wine in here, I can’t taste it.
Felicia: Just tastes like fruit juice and sugar, no alcohol. Don’t recommend.
Allyson: Just your typical sangria, but great flavor. Also, the price comes into play majorly. $11 is a lot for a tiny cup.
Italian Margarita
A sweet and tart cocktail made with tequila and limoncello.
Price: $11.00
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 3.5/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: This was one of the best drinks at this booth. Nice tartness. Not too strong.
Heather: This is the only kind of margarita I’ll ever drink.
Felicia: This tastes like lemonade. Couldn’t taste much alcohol. Another overpriced item.
Allyson: I’m not a tequila person, but I actually really liked this. The lemonade helped dilute the tequila taste.
Peroni Pilsner
Peroni Pilsner has been the best selling Italian lager for over 150 years and is known for being a crisp and refreshing beer.
Price: $6.00 (6 oz.) / $10.00 (12 oz.)
Made with Alcohol?: Yes
Rating: 3/5
Our Thoughts
Shannon: Bland, boring.
Heather: Meh.
Felicia: Not a unique choice but a solid beer, especially when it’s hot.
Allyson: I love Peroni, but I also wouldn’t spend this much on 6 oz. of something I can get really anywhere.
