In Rufina, in the province of Florence, the Polisportiva Audax Rufina organizes the traditional Sagra del Cacciucco e dei Gamberoni alla griglia, an unmissable appointment for seafood lovers and enthusiasts of authentic Tuscan cuisine. This historic event, established over the years as one of the most anticipated gatherings in the valley, takes place over two weekends: from Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 April and from Friday 1 to Saturday 2 May, at Piazza Fabiani. It's an extraordinary opportunity to taste exquisite seafood dishes in a convivial and welcoming atmosphere at advantageous prices.

The menu is a true gastronomic journey, with the celebrated boneless cacciucco and grilled prawns as the absolute stars, complemented by refined seafood antipasti, excellent first courses, and a crispy mixed fried squid and shrimp that represents a true house specialty. Each course is accompanied by excellent local wines from the Florence region, particularly the renowned Rufina reds that perfectly enhance seafood flavors. For those preferring meat, there's also a classic mixed grill.

The restaurant is set up at the town's sports facilities with air-conditioned indoor spaces and, weather permitting, welcoming outdoor seating. Opening is from 7:00 PM in the evenings, while on public holidays (26 April and 2 May), lunch is available from 12:00 to 3:00 PM. The event will not be held on Sunday 3 May due to the local team's promotion playoff match.

For information on reservations, detailed menus, and specific prices, contact Polisportiva Audax Rufina directly. It's recommended to book in advance, especially on public holidays, to guarantee a table.
