Mark your calendars, foodies!! The eighth edition of Ischia Safari, the celebrated gastronomic event that highlights Italian culinary excellence, is gearing up to dazzle the public from September 15 to 17, 2024.

The lush, green island of Ischia will transform into a grand stage for a "Journey into Taste," a sensory exploration that masterfully blends tradition with culinary innovation.

A Unique Experience for Food Lovers

Ischia Safari returns this year with over 300 of Italy’s finest culinary talents. What began in 2015 as a charitable dinner organized by Michelin-starred chefs and friends Nino Di Costanzo and Pasquale Palamaro, has flourished into an internationally renowned food festival. Initially envisioned as a multi-course dinner to raise funds for a good cause, the event has evolved into a grand celebration of food that attracts chefs, pastry chefs, pizza makers, producers, restaurateurs, and wineries. Thousands flock from all over Italy to savor the exceptional dishes, wines, and products on offer.

The proceeds from ticket sales will continue to support the provision of materials and scholarships for students of hotel schools, embodying the democratic spirit of Ischia Safari. This inclusiveness is evident as the event features both Michelin-starred chefs and local cooks, renowned pizza chefs and humble traditionalists, celebrated pastry chefs and young, creative innovators. The festival truly honors the great tradition of Italian cuisine, rooted deeply in family recipes and memories, making it a dive into the gastronomic heritage that forms the core of our cultural identity.

A Program Full of Events

The schedule for Ischia Safari 2024 promises a series of unmissable events that will delight the palates and senses of food lovers everywhere.

September 15: The festivities kick off with a Gala Dinner at the prestigious Hotel Regina Isabella. Around 20 Michelin-starred chefs and renowned pastry chefs will craft an exclusive tasting menu for 150 lucky guests, set in an elegant and refined atmosphere.

The evening will be capped off with live music and a magnificent fireworks display.

September 17: The final day focuses on the future of gastronomy. A roundtable discussion featuring renowned experts will delve into future trends and current issues in food and wine.

A show of respect and admiration performedw ith a piece of great bread and the remnants of a fantastic sauce left on the plate at the end a a course. That is the spirit behind Franco Pepe' s latest pizza - La Scarpetta.   Pepe's soft pizza dough paired with an amazing ragu tomato sauce.  For the sauce, Pepe chose three tomato varieties and slow cooked them so that they fused together to make an incredible tomato sauce. This sauce is not cooked in the oven with the pizza dough, but added on top afterwards.  Then a couple of shavings of Grana Padano cheese (aged 12 and 24 months) Just one more taste of happiness courtesy of Pepe in Grani.. .
