Leave the streets of Verona for an evening and immerse yourself in the aromas and colors of the Horn of Africa. This experience, curated by Nomad in Ethiopia Tours at Ristorante Zigni, transforms a simple dinner into an authentic cultural journey.

Accompanied by Abi, an expert guide and native Ethiopian, you will discover that the cuisine of this land is not just nourishment, but a powerful means of connection. You won’t be just a diner at the table, but a guest who listens, tastes and learns.

What awaits you

The Bread that Unites (Injera): The heart of the dinner will be injera, the spongy, fermented bread typical of Ethiopia that serves as both a plate and cutlery. You will discover how it is used to pick up the traditional dishes served in the center, in a gesture of sharing that bridges distances.

Journey through Flavors: You will savor a selection of traditional stews and sauces, from spicy to more delicate flavors, perfect for pairing with Injera.

Travel Stories: While you dine, Abi will transport you with her words to the real Ethiopia. You'll hear stories about the tribes of the Omo Valley, anecdotes about local life and interesting facts that only those born there can know. It's the perfect time to ask questions and dream about your next adventure.

The Origin of Coffee: Did you know that coffee originated in Ethiopia? The evening will culminate with the serving of traditional coffee poured from a Jebena, the typical clay jug. Abi will tell you the legend of Kaldi and why, for Ethiopians, coffee (“Buna”) is much more than a beverage: it is a symbol of peace and friendship.

This experience is ideal for those looking for something more than an ethnic dinner: it is a guided cultural immersion, perfect for couples, friends and curious travelers.
