Maccherone al Pettine

From May 13–17, Mirandola welcomes back one of the most anticipated events for lovers of Emilia-Romagna gastronomy: the Maccherone al Pettine festival. This iconic dish from the culinary tradition of the lower Modena region arrives on visitors' tables with all the authenticity that distinguishes products certified with the Modena Traditions and Flavours Mark. The gastronomic stand, set up on Via Circonvallazione Est adjacent to Lolli Stadium, will be the pulsing heart of the event, where skilled pasta makers will prepare with dedication the celebrated macaroni of the Mirandola Valleys. Visitors can choose from different options to taste the main dish: a traditional meat ragù or a vegetarian variant, depending on their tastes and preferences. But the gastronomic offering doesn't stop at just the macaroni: the stand also features other local specialties such as creamy polenta, grilled vegetables, and delicious pork ribs, for a complete culinary experience rich in authentic flavours. For those wishing to participate, the stand will be open every evening from 19:00, while on Sunday lunch service begins at 11:30. Takeaway service ensures you can enjoy these delicacies at home too. An unmissable opportunity to discover and savour the gastronomic excellence of Emilia-Romagna.
