One of the most anticipated events of the Tuscan summer returns to Buti: the Sagra delle Pappardelle alla Lepre e del Coniglio fritto is ready to delight traditional cuisine enthusiasts. In the charming Parco Danielli, from July 31 to August 9, gastronomic stalls will serve the signature dishes of this festival, prepared according to the most authentic local recipes. Pappardelle with hare ragù and fried rabbit will be the true stars of a menu that also features other local specialties: flavorful appetizers, succulent first courses, and grilled meats such as young roosters and sausages, all accompanied by craft beers and specially prepared desserts. The event spans two festive weekends: the first from July 31 to August 1-2, the second during August 7-8-9. Every evening the kitchen welcomes visitors from 7:30 PM onwards, with convenient takeaway options for those who prefer to enjoy their meals at home or in their hotel. Special attention is paid to visitor comfort: on Saturday evenings, a free shuttle service connects the cemetery parking lot to Piazza Garibaldi from 7:00 PM to midnight, making access easy without the hassle of finding a parking spot. Dish prices remain affordable, allowing everyone to savor authentic Buti recipes without compromising on quality. Beyond the gastronomy, the festival offers a convivial atmosphere where Tuscan tradition comes alive: live music, family-friendly spaces, and warm hospitality characterize the evenings. A perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of the territory, discovering the flavors that have defined Buti's cuisine for generations. Don't miss this unique experience!
