October 25th will be the culmination of a week-long celebration of one of Italy's most beloved dishes: pasta. The second edition of the World Pasta Day festivities are set to kick off October 18th, 2020, with Al Dente, an event that calls the best Italian and international chefs to pay homage to the uniqueness of genuine Italian pasta.

In partnership with Gruppo Italiano, the Italian Trade Agency has rounded up fifteen of the most authentic Italian restaurants across the U.S. to offer a dedicated menu revolving around a featured pasta dish that best represents the Italian culinary tradition. Guests will be able to take part in this year's theme which celebrates the Mediterranean Diet and the versatility and creativity that comes with eating Italian.
