Sardinia’s delicious specialities, based on simple genuine ingredients, with strong yet delicate flavours, never fail to amaze you. The preparation and essence of the dishes are values that go beyond the taste and are  heritage spanning  thousands of years of history, he adds. The Sardinian Food Festival at Prego, in Gurugram, promises to take patrons on a one-of-a-kind gastronomical journey that not only uses the freshest ingredients, but also presents food that is light and scrumptious.
