Festa di Limoncello 2026

Vallozzis Pittsburgh’s Festa di Limoncello is set to return on Saturday, June 20th. This sixth annual festival marks a return to the expanded McMaster Way, new unique ‘cello flavors, and an upgraded VIP experience.

The downtown restaurant’s festival, nicknamed “Cello Fest” is a ticketed event that celebrates everything limoncello. Guests will enjoy sipping 10 unique flavors of house-made ‘cello while exploring an expanded festival footprint that includes the Fifth Avenue sidewalk and continues around the corner to McMaster Way. All admissions include unlimited ‘cello tastings, two drink tickets for ‘cello focused craft cocktails, Italian-inspired bites, and plenty of games and entertainment. Oh Snap Pgh and Caricatures by Jeffrey Harris will be on site to capture the fun, while DJ Wade Anthony will keep the party pumping with his energetic beats.

New this year is an upgraded VIP experience. VIP tickets include early admission to the festival, a swag bag full of ‘cello themed goodies, and access to the private VIP lounge. The lounge will be in the newly renovated Mozzarella Bar (formerly Earth Inspired Salads) and will feature a specialty food spread and boasts easy access to both the bar area and outdoor party. The VIP lounge will also include a concierge service to deliver cocktails, ‘cello samples, and plates of food from the main buffet. VIP tickets will be in limited amount.
