The three-day festival will fill the streets of Hollywood with savory smells of Italian sausage and peppers, meatballs simmering in homemade sauce, baked clams on the half shell, warm cheese on perfectly crusted pizza and sugar-powdered zeppole. Patrons can also enjoy cold glasses of sangria and listen to the sweet sounds of opera, jazz and big band late into the night!
In addition Galbani Cheese’s very own Chef Marco will host some Italian inspired contests during the festival which include a “Galbani Cheese Building Contest for Charity” and a “Gravy-Sauce Cooking Competition.”
