Sagra delle Rane Fritte Dorate e del Fagiolo Regina (Golden Fried Frogs Festival and Queen Bean)

The Sagra delle Rane Fritte Dorate e del Fagiolo Regina returns to Agosta, in the province of Rome, for an unforgettable evening celebrating Lazio gastronomy and conviviality. This event honors two culinary treasures that tell the story and gastronomic identity of the Lazio region, keeping alive a tradition passed down through generations. Golden fried frogs are the iconic dish of the festival: a culinary excellence of Lazio's heritage, appreciated throughout the region for their irresistible crispness and delicate, refined flavor. The traditional recipe features a crispy coating that contrasts beautifully with tender meat, a taste experience that encompasses centuries of culinary tradition. Alongside the frogs, the Fagiolo Regina (Queen Bean) plays a starring role: this prized legume, historically cultivated in Lazio's fertile lands, is a cornerstone of Roman cuisine, used in soups, side dishes, and traditional plates. Its creamy texture and sweet flavor make it the perfect accompaniment to the evening's specialties. The event takes place in piazza San Nicola, in the heart of one of the historic villages in the Roman province. Starting at 6:00 PM, the gastronomic stands open their doors, offering visitors the chance to taste local specialties prepared according to authentic recipes passed down through generations by Agosta families. You can stay and dine late into the night, enjoying a convivial and authentic atmosphere. At 9:00 PM, live musical entertainment will begin, creating the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable evening with friends and family, where music accompanies the pleasure of the table. An unmissable opportunity to discover authentic Lazio flavors and immerse yourself in Roman gastronomic tradition.
