Award-winning Gold Coast restaurant Ristorante Fellini will join Italian restaurants worldwide in hosting ‘Pasta Pesto Day’ during the annual Italian Cuisine Week, November 19-25, as a fundraiser for the people of Genoa and Liguria.

To support the initiative, Ristorante Fellini is offering diners the opportunity to choose a dish of pasta with the iconic Genoese pesto sauce during the week of November 19-25, with a portion of the proceeds to go towards supporting those who have been affected by the tragedy.

For each dish of pesto pasta served, Ristorante Fellini will donate 2Euros to the city of Genoa; 1Euro on behalf of the client and 1Euro from the restaurant.

Ristorante Fellini is among hundreds of restaurants in Italy, Australia and around the world who will be including pesto pasta dishes on their menus in support of people living in Genoa and Liguria territory.

Pasta Pesto Day aims to relaunch the Liguria territory and raise funds for the Municipality of Genoa in an effort to help the city recover from this catastrophe.
