Sagra del Tortello alla Pelaghese

The Sagra del Tortello alla Pelaghese returns to Pelago in June, in the province of Florence, to celebrate one of the most authentic specialties of Tuscan cuisine. Over two consecutive weekends, June 19–21 and June 26–28, volunteers from USD Pelago will transform the ‹La Pira› Pastoral Center into a welcoming open-air trattoria, where you can rediscover the genuine flavors of local tradition. Handmade potato tortelli, rigorously prepared according to time-honored recipes, will be served in three irresistible variations: with butter and sage, with ragù, or with tomato—to satisfy every palate. Beyond the main stars of the evening, the festival offers an extensive menu of typical Tuscan dishes ranging from handmade tagliatelle to grilled meat, plus mixed roast with crostini, all prepared with care and dedication by local volunteers. The event represents a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of Tuscan gastronomy, away from the most beaten tourist paths, in the company of people who love preserving the region‹s culinary traditions. The celebrated Emilio‹s bomboloni will not be missing to round off the meal with sweetness. The food stands open at 7:00 PM, and thanks to the covered Pastoral Center, the event will proceed regularly even in case of rain. An unmissable festival for those wishing to taste the authentic flavor of Tuscany.
