Art Apartments brings the concept of Italian sagra to London mixing great food with artistic interpretations.

In Italy a “sagra” is a traditional local festival which usually celebrates one type of food, drink, or product from a town or region. Gnocchi, the traditional type of pasta, is often at the centre of such local festivals.

In Art Apartments’ version of Sagra dello Gnocco, guests are invited to taste delicious gnocchi plates cooked by chef Luca Forosetto and to enjoy the interpretations created by a group of emerging artists.

Anna Icardi, a designer focusing on wallpaper and fabrics, created playful table mats for the event.
