The Big Spaghetti 2022
This carb-laden pasta party is set to feature 20 dishes from some of your favourite Italian restaurants — plus tunes, vino and cheese aplenty.
Overview
There are few things in life as good as a heaping bowl of pasta. And so, you'd best brush up on your fork-twirling skills because next month, Melbourne's getting an entire weekend devoted to the classic carb-based dish. Yep, pasta is the star of the show at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival's upcoming shindig, The Big Spaghetti.
Taking over Queen Victoria Market for a full-blown pasta party on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3, the event's set to deliver a tasty mash-up of Italian street fair and bustling hawker market. You'll find food stalls from some of Melbourne's favourite pasta-slinging restaurants, including Tipo 00, Pastore, Marameo, Lagotto, Mister Bianco and more.
Browse the offering and sample over 20 different smash-hit pasta dishes, plus Italian-leaning snacks, and desserts like Pidapipo's Crema and Nutella Colomba toast with hazelnut Croccante gelato. That's Amore will be doing a four-cheese spaghetti served in a 40-kilogram cheese wheel, and there'll be a 'pasta wheel of fortune' to spin if you're feeling lucky. Also throughout the day, you'll get to catch live tunes, enjoy guest chef cooking demos and sip Italian-wine varietals courtesy of Pizzini. Plus, don't forget to down a few Italian-inspired cocktails while you're there.
