Ponte in Festa

Ponte in Festa returns for the fourteenth time, the most anticipated gastronomic event in southern Tuscany. At Ponte d'Arbia, a hamlet in the municipality of Monteroni d'Arbia in the province of Siena, two weekends dedicated to celebrating pici, the most authentic pasta of the Sienese tradition, in a convivial atmosphere where genuine flavor meets community.

Handmade pici remain the true stars of the event: prepared according to traditional recipe with eggs, flour and water, hand-pulled by our volunteers, they represent the essence of medieval Sienese peasant cuisine. Each evening offers different condiments, from the classic cacio e pepe to local meat ragù, from hare sauce to seasonal vegetable sauces. The gastronomic stand offers a complete culinary experience, from fresh pasta to roasts, from porchetta to sweets from the best Sienese tradition, with a selection of Brunello and Rosso d'Arbia wines from local vineyards.

Organized by U.S. and Casa del Popolo d'Arbia in collaboration with the Santa Famiglia Parish, Ponte in Festa represents a true gathering moment for the local community and an attraction for visitors from across the region. A rare opportunity to discover how pici were prepared in medieval farmhouse kitchens and to taste recipes passed down through generations. Reservations are strongly recommended to secure your place at the table during this unmissable event of the Tuscan spring.

Hours: Friday and Saturday 20:00-23:00 | Sunday 12:00-14:30 and 20:00-23:00. Prices starting from €8.00 for a plate of pici.
