EAT 250 ALERT: Matteo Venini x Elias Taddesse

Few foods have traveled the world quite like pizza. Owner Antonio Matarazzo and chef Matteo Venini of Stellina join Chef Elias Taddesse of Doro Soul Food for a collaborative dinner exploring the connections between Italian and Ethiopian food cultures. While separated by geography, the two nations share a unique and complicated history that continues to echo through food. From pasta dishes found across Ethiopia to shared rituals of hospitality, coffee, bread, and communal dining, the evening explores how cultures influence one another over generations.
