Sagra dello sgabeo

The Sagra dello Sgabei in Sarzana is an unmissable opportunity to discover and taste one of the most authentic specialties of Ligurian culinary tradition. Sgabei, those strips of fried and golden leavened pasta that perfume the streets of the city, are prepared fresh before visitors' eyes, guaranteeing freshness and authenticity with every bite. Served hot and often accompanied by local cured meats and cheeses, they represent the essence of Ligurian folk cuisine—simple yet extraordinarily appetizing.

During the festival days, from July 22-26, 2026, the streets of Sarzana's historic center transform into a vast convivial space where food becomes the protagonist of an experience that engages all the senses. The enticing aromas of frying, the buzz of the crowd, the gastronomic stands, and the festive atmosphere create an immersive experience in local gastronomic culture. It's not just an opportunity to eat well, but to understand the deep connection between a territory and its culinary traditions.

Beyond gastronomy, the event features live music, entertainment, and market stalls that enrich the cultural and commercial offerings. The Sagra dello Sgabei perfectly embodies the Ligurian spirit of conviviality and simplicity, bringing together residents and tourists around the pleasure of food and community.
