From November 17-22, 2025, the 10th edition of Italian Cuisine Week in the World was held in Miami. “Italian cuisine: culture, well-being and innovation” was the interpretive key at the center of celebrations around the world. Here in Miami, we organized a series of events with focus on the Italian gastronomic tradition as a harmonious set of knowledge and values, in which each element testifies to our country’s deep connection with food.
On November 12, we celebrated the elegance and compositional beauty of Italian cuisine with the “Food Design Night” initiative , organized in collaboration with the Italian-American Chamber of Commerce of the Southeast (IACCSE): an evening dedicated to the celebration of Italian cuisine and design. Traditional Italian dishes, revisited with wise moderation by young Italian chefs from Miami (Luca Osteria, Da Angelino, and Felice), were presented to the public and a jury of Italian and American experts in the exhibition spaces of some of the most important Italian design brands (B&B Italia, Poltrona Frau, Molteni&Co, etc.), in the famous design district of downtown Miami. To be awarded, the original creation that best interpreted the marriage of food and design, taste and elegance, shapes and flavors. A great number of people took part in the initiative, which – for years now – has been a fixed and much-awaited appointment in the panorama of promotional events organized by Sistema Italia in the southeastern United States.
Thanks to our well-established partnership with Miami Dade College, on November 18, at the Miami Culinary Institute, a masterclass was held by Sorrento chef Vincenzo Borriello (of the Baia Blu restaurant in Coconut Grove) for young chefs-in-training from the Miami university, in the presence of the Ambassador of Italy to the United States, Marco Peronaci. The masterclass – streamed – had been preceded by an ingredient preparation workshop, which focused on traditional Campania’s signature dishes: linguine di Nerano, ricotta and tomato ravioli, and lemon delight…great success with the audience for simple, yet tasty, feel-good dishes!
Finally, SCIM was also honored by a selection of authentic Italian restaurants in Atlanta (Georgia) and Charleston (South Carolina), which offered customers special menus that were also well representative of the regional varieties of our gastronomic culture. And this, also to enhance the efforts of so many of our entrepreneurs and operators in the eno-gastronomic sector who honor the Italian tradition everywhere, including in so many beautiful territories and centers of our consular district far from the spotlight of Miami.
