The Italian Show Madrid 2026

On 9 June, Espacio Próxima Estación de Madrid will host The Italian Show, a gastronomic gathering devoted to contemporary Italian cuisine, restaurant formats and hospitality culture.

For one day, the venue will become an open-air professional setting with workshops, show-cooking sessions and talks about how Italian gastronomy is developing outside Italy today. The programme will focus on new restaurant models, contemporary pizza and the relationship between cuisine and the hotel sector.

Participants include Paolo Casagrande of Lasarte, awarded three Michelin stars; Ciro Cristiano of Baldoria and Beata Pasta; and Massimiliano Saieva of Roman Pizza Lab, who will discuss the growing popularity of Roman pizza. The programme will also include food tastings and wine-pairing sessions.

Admission is free but requires prior registration and professional accreditation.
