Described as Rome's first festival dedicated to pop cuisine This is Food returns with some of the most interesting and innovative exponents of the capital's culinary scene.

The aim of the project is to ignore the Michelin-starred chefs and expensive restaurants, and concentrate on the search for original and creative cuisine from funky new food start-ups.

The festival, which began last October and attracted more then 4,000 visitors, unites food with design, culture and music.

The first day offers aperitivi until late and continues on Sunday from brunch until midnight, all of which can be enjoyed on the building's large outdoor terraces.
