Mamma mia! Italian Cuisine in the World Week is back, which means from now until Nov 24, you can enjoy limited time offerings at some of Beijing’s best Italian eateries.
This year sees some specials from the likes of Bottega, Forno, abboCCa, Eatalia, plus new additions Lavazza and Bosco by TRB.

Bottega and Forno are sticking to pizza and pasta respectively this year, with a particular focus on seafood. At Bottega, this takes the form of the Costa Mediterranea (RMB 108), a Neapolitan-style pizza that uses white sardines for the seafood element plus olives, capers, and stracciatella cheese on red sauce. Over at Forno, their offering is Linguine al Branzino (RMB 108), pairing linguine pasta strands with lemon and olive oil in a sea bass white ragu.
Meanwhile, abboCCa is also going on a trip to the sea with Polpo alla Luciana, octopus slow cooked in tomato sauce with capers and olives served with bread. Eatalia, on the other hand, is embracing the comfort of winter on land. Their Polenta Concina sees polenta cooked with two cheeses and topped with mushrooms and sausage, perfect for cold days.
While abboCCa and Eatalia keep things homely and warm with their dishes
