The Napoli Food Festival will bring together Naples’ finest chefs

On 13 July 2026, the Napoli Food Festival will kick off in Virgigliano Park in Naples — a major celebration of Neapolitan flavours that will combine the city’s culinary expertise with a noble charitable cause.

The event will feature 150 professionals from the restaurant industry, including head chefs, pizza chefs, pastry chefs, rotisserie chefs and ice-cream makers. They will all be united by a common goal — to support the work of Emergency, the Santobono-Pausilipon Foundation and the Santobono ETS Hospital Supporters charity.

The festival’s organisers include Gino Sorbillo, Daniele Testa, Marco Infante, Giovanni Tammaro and Antonio Esposito.

The press conference will take place on Thursday, 2 July, at 11:00 in the Sala Giunta hall of Palazzo San Giacomo. During the meeting, the key highlights of the festival will be presented in detail, and the names of the restaurateurs and pastry chefs taking part in the event will be announced.

The press conference will be attended by members of Naples City Council Teresa Armato (Councillor for Tourism and Productive Activities) and Vincenzo Santagada (Councillor for City Parks), Sergio Curcio, president of the Napoli Food Festival, the event organisers, and representatives of the charitable organisations to which the funds raised will be donated.
