Fiorentina VS Costoletta VS Planted Steak

From May 8th to 17th, 2026, Bergamo transforms into a gastronomic arena of excellence with 'Fiorentina VS Costoletta VS Planted Steak' – the first major showdown between three interpretations of the meat dish that has conquered Italian palates. At Piazzale degli Alpini, visitors can taste and discover the differences between the classic Tuscan Fiorentina bistecca, the crispy Milanese costoletta, and the innovative plant-based Planted alternative, in a sensory journey that blends culinary tradition with sustainable innovation. A unique event where tradition dialogues with the future: three dishes, three philosophies, one destination. Each proposal represents a different era of Italian gastronomy, allowing diners to choose their preference in a transparent and fascinating comparison. The experience transcends mere tasting—it's a true laboratory of flavour. The complete gastronomic offering includes outstanding Lombard antipasti, authentic pasta courses, and refined side dishes that celebrate regional cuisine at its finest. But it's not just food: live music every evening, interactive karaoke sessions, hilarious stand-up comedy performances, and entertainment activities transform the festival into a multisensory celebration where food becomes the perfect excuse to socialise, laugh, and create unforgettable memories. Limited seating available. Bookings open until April 30th, 2026 with an early bird discount of 15%. NXT Bergamo guarantees a seamless experience with dedicated hospitality services and impeccable organisation.
