Celebrate Calendimaggio, The Italian Festival Of Spring At Água Pool Bar & Cafe, JW Marriott Goa

Goa, May 2025: Água Pool Bar & Cafe at JW Marriott Goa welcomes guests to experience the vibrant charm of Calendimaggio—a traditional Italian celebration of spring rooted in the heart of Umbria. Known for its poolside elegance and Mediterranean flair, Água Pool Bar & Cafe is the perfect setting for this seasonal activation that brings together rustic Italian fare, festive cheer, and a touch of Umbrian heritage.

Running from 9th to 15th May, Calendimaggio at Água will unfold with an à la carte culinary showcase offered daily from 1 PM to 11 PM. Guests can savor a menu inspired by age-old recipes served during spring festivals in central Italy, paired with handcrafted beverages that echo the freshness of the season.

The menu features a carefully curated selection of regional specialities, beginning with antipasti like Olive Ascolana, a delicacy from the Marche region of deep-fried lamb-stuffed jumbo olives served with saffron aioli, and Gnocco Fritto, sun-dried tomato dough pockets paired with parmesan and tomato fondues. From the primi section, guests can indulge in handmade Strangozzi alla Norcina with Umbrian ricotta and black truffle, or the rustic Risotto con Fave, slow-cooked carnaroli with spring fava beans, zucchini, and parmesan. The secondi offerings include classics like Pollo alla Cacciatora, a hunter-style braised chicken with olives and rosemary, and Anatra in Porchetta, roast duck with fennel purée and cannellini beans. For dessert, the beloved Rocciata di Assisi, an Umbrian apple strudel, and Crescionda Spoletina, a chocolate-amaretto custard cake from Spoleto, round off the meal with heritage and indulgence.

Whether you join for the sundowner’s electric vibe or linger over a long lunch or dinner, Calendimaggio at Água offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the season in true Italian style—with good food, great wine and joyful company.
