Luigia, an award-winning Italian restaurant located at Rixos Premium JBR, joins the rest of the world in celebrating the VII edition of the Week of the Italian cuisine in the World, from 14 to 20 November.
The Week of Italian Cuisine in the World is a yearly initiative developed to promote Italian culinary traditions and food and wine connoisseurship as a distinctive trait of the country’s identity and culture.
To showcase the best of Italian gastronomy, Luigia has created a traditional dish called “Pasta e Fagioli”, with origins from the countryside, which is particularly high in fiber and filling.
“Pasta & Fagioli represents the innovative spirit of Luigia, respectful of the environment and attentive to the quality of products. It is 100% produced from Italian wheat and high-quality Fagioli di Sarconi beansGPI which is directly imported from Italy. Whether you are planning a family lunch or a dinner with friends, “Pasta e Fagioli” complements traditional values like conviviality to contemporary values like sustainability and innovation,” explains Antonio Lagrutta, General Manager.
The Week of Italian Cuisine is in partnership with the Embassy of Italy in The United Arab Emirates and The Italian Cuisine Academy.
Every year The Italian Cuisine Academy selects Italian restaurants that will offer to their customers, besides the regular menu, a special dish or menu inspired by the theme. The theme for this year’s edition is Conviviality, Sustainability and Innovation: The Ingredients of Italian Cuisine for the Health of Individuals and the Protection of the Planet.
One of the city’s most iconic Italian restaurants, Luigia has a captivated loyal community who frequent the dining destination for its authentic food offering and Italian hospitality.
