New Delhi, Sep 28 (IANS): "Mangia!" As our Italian friends say, "Eat!" And exactly like Indians -- eat is what they do, as for both Indians and Italians, food is not merely for survival -- it is what defines them.

Towards this end, Foodhall, India's premium lifestyle food superstore brings you the culinary delights of seven regions of Italy, where you can enjoy authentic Italian food from Sicily, Emilia, Umbria, Liguria, Tuscany, Abruzza and Campania.

The central pillar of Italian food culture like Indian cuisine is its regional diversity. While travelling from the north to south of Italy you could experience as many different dishes as you did travelling around the whole continent.

Italy is known for its breads and cheeses and the cuisine is all about focusing on these flavours of limited ingredients rather than elaborate cooking.

At the fest, on till October 12, discover classic and rare cheeses and learn and play more with a range of breads such as Foodhall's exclusive thin crust pizza base, gluten-free pizza base, ciabatta, focaccia, sundried tomato and feta baguette, pesto rolls, panini bread and grissini.

Another treat is the live counter which will make you sing "Volare!" On offer here are fresh dips like sun-dried tomato pesto, basil pesto, aglio olio dip, smoked aubergine caponata and blue cheese dip.

The patisserie section is pure sinful indulgence with chocolate and orange cannoli, classic tiramisu and berry tiramisu.

Foodhall, a premium lifestyle food superstore, Future Group's ambitious venture, is a pure gastronomical delight. Launched in May 2011, Foodhall is a one-stop destination for a well-travelled urban consumer who understands the nuances of gourmet cooking and is currently present in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune and Gurgaon.
