BENEFICIENZA
AMO Amatrice
The entire world was shocked by the terrible earthquake that struck Amatrice, Italy, in the middle of the night on the 23rd of August 2016. Over the past few weeks, Italian restaurants in New York City have come together to support the earthquake victims in Amatrice with the initiative called AMO AMAtriciana. A percentage from each order of Pasta Amatriciana was sent to Italy to assist the Earthquake victims. On October 2nd, 2016, the chefs from the AICNY ( Associazione Italiana Chefs New York) support the victims of Amatrice. In “A Day in Little Italy,” Each dish of Amatriciana was offered at $5.00, and we collected over $5,000 in few hours.
