Sagra della Seppia

The Sagra della Seppia in Pinarella di Cervia is the event that opens the spring season in this enchanting Romagna coastal village. From March 14-22, 2027, Via San Marino transforms into a stage for authentic flavors and local traditions, where cuttlefish – the undisputed star of seafood cuisine – is celebrated in all its forms. A unique opportunity to taste the most representative dishes of Romagna gastronomy, prepared by passionate volunteers alongside professional chefs who bring expertise and creativity to the kitchen. The festival's menu tells the culinary story of the territory through genuine, time-honored recipes: from stewed cuttlefish, the iconic dish of tradition, to delicate seafood risotto, from aromatic spaghetti with sea flavors to irresistible grilled baby cuttlefish skewers, and finally the crispy mixed fried fish that captures the essence of the Adriatic. Each dish is a journey through the authentic flavors of coastal Emilia-Romagna, where ingredient quality and passion in preparation make all the difference. But the Sagra della Seppia is more than just a food celebration: the program enriches itself with performances of Romagna traditions, evocative musical moments, and traditional artisan markets that enliven the days and evenings. A complete experience where tasting, discovering, enjoying, and immersing yourself in local culture are perfectly woven into a festive and genuine atmosphere.
