Festa Italiana will bring back a taste of the old country to Schererville. Villa Cesare Banquets & Events at 900 Eagle Ridge Drive in Schererville will host the Italian food and culture festival from July 28 through July 30. The weekend-long celebration of all things Italy will feature live music, food, family-friendly events and a beer and wine garden.

Amber Consolino, who worked at Capute and Eataly in Chicago, will host a two-hour long class on how to make mozzarella cheese participants can bring home. “People don't understand how cheese is made, so this is a great opportunity for people to get this one-on-one time to understand what they love and how it is made," Consolino said.
