  • President of the Accademia Giovanni Ballarini
    On February 9 the Accademia Italiana della Cucina celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its New York Delegation. President Giovanni Ballarini and Delegate Francesca Baldeschi Balleani honored ten fellow Italians and those businesses who throughout the years have been outstanding in spreading and promoting Italian cuisine in NY. The Italian Trade Commission, directed by Mr. Aniello Musella, in collaboration with the Italian Government Tourism Board/North America, directed by Mr. Riccardo Strano sponsored the sumptuous dinner, held at the Metropolitan Club.
  • Every month the Soho Delegation of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina organizes a dinner with its members and guests in a different Italian restaurant in NYC. On September 21 the Serafina Restaurant on Madison Avenue had its turn. The Accademici were called to vote on every aspect of the dinner, from the environment and service to the food and wine offered. What was their opinion? Is Serafina a “true Italian restaurant?”
