Italian word

festa

party, celebration, holiday, festival

Looks like

feast

a large meal, a banquet

⚠️ The trap

A feast is specifically a large meal. A festa is any celebration — a birthday party, a national holiday, a street festival. Not necessarily involving food.

To say "a large meal, a banquet" in Italian:

banchetto, banchetto (for feast)

"festa" in English means:

party, celebration, holiday, festival

Example

"Vieni alla festa di compleanno di Maria?"

"Are you coming to Maria's birthday party?"
