*NEW* Bacetti ‘Kisses’ di Pizza, Traditional Napoli Street Food: Pizza Dough, Pepperoni, Mozzarella, and Tomato Sauce – $8.75
This is extremely thick and doughy, but for the Italy Booth, this was actually pretty good. Nonetheless, isn’t anything special. It reminded us of something you could microwave at home or get at Pizza Hut.

*NEW* Tortellini alla Vodka: Four-Cheese Tortellini, Vodka Sauce, Parmesan, and Calabrian Chili Oil – $8.00
This was better than it looks, but it still tastes like it was frozen and thrown in the microwave. Tom’s Italian ancestors “would not approve.”

*NEW* Chocolate Spuma: Chocolate Mousse, Caramel Sauce, Espresso Whipped Cream, and Puffed Rice – $5.75
The is a simple, straight-forward chocolate mousse: basic, but edible. There isn’t really much more we can say about this mousse.

*NEW* Sorsi d’Oro ‘Sips of Gold’ Italian Pilsner (4.8% ABV) – $7.50 for 6 oz., $12.00 for 12 oz.
From a product sheet provided to us by a Cast Member, this beer is brewed by Tripping Animals Brewing of Doral, FL for Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar at the Italy Pavilion. This beer “pours a vibrant, golden hue with a crisp and creamy white head that lingers.” It has a “see-through body, showcasing the level of carbonation in this well-crafted Italian pilsner.” The aroma offers “a delicate bouquet of Saphir Hops, showcasing herbal and floral notes reminiscent of the old-world style prevalent in authentic Italian pilsners” with “subtle undertones of jasmine, elderflower, and lemongrass.” For flavor, “Eraclea Malts offers a prominent malty backbone, with flavors of lightly toasted bread and crackers and a touch of honey-like sweetness for a smooth and balanced taste.” It “delivers mild hints of a gentle caramel undertone that enhances complexity without overwhelming.”
Peroni Pilsner (5.1% ABV) – $6.50 for 6 oz., $11.00 for 12 oz.
Peroni Brewery describes their beer as “a crisp and refreshing beer with a delicate balance of bitterness, citrus and spicy aromatic notes, combined with a fast and clean finish.”
Italian Red Sangria – $12.00
Have you ever put red wine in the microwave? That’s what this is. We thought sangria came with ice and fruit, but this was just a room temperature liquid. The flavor was fruity, so it could have been really good, but as it got hotter, it was just too warm to drink.

Bellini Spritz: Italian Aperitivo Liqueur, Peach Purée, and Prosecco – $15.00
The Bellini Spritz is a little syrupy, sticky, and perhaps too sweet, but is likely what most people would want. It’s very crisp and dry.

Italian-Inspired Blood Orange Margarita: Tequila, Triple Sec, and Blood Orange Liqueur – $12.00
We would ask how this is Italian, but considering the Italy Pavilion’s long history of bad and bizarre festival food, we’re probably beyond that question. It tastes like pink lemonade. It’s super tart, like there’s a pound of sugar in one cup. It’s barely passable, which makes it the best thing from the Italy booth.
