The Umbrian cuisine of the home cooks in the village of Rivotorto
The Ancient Flavors of Rivotorto Festival is one of the most beloved gastronomic events of the summer in Assisi (province of Perugia). It takes place in Rivotorto, a hamlet linked to Franciscan memory, and celebrates traditional Umbrian cuisine prepared according to old recipes.
The secret of the festival lies precisely in the home cooks, capable of transforming every dish – even the simplest – into an authentic delicacy. The food stalls offer a different menu each evening, featuring specialties of Umbrian cuisine, accompanied by live music and shows for all ages.
Organized by the Pro Loco of Rivotorto, the event is an occasion for conviviality and the enhancement of the Assisi territory. Between good food, entertainment, and a village atmosphere, it is the summer meeting point for the community and many visitors.
From August 14 to 23, 2026, Rivotorto will once again smell of Umbrian cuisine with the 36th Ancient Flavors Festival. Ten evenings animated by the home cooks, who offer a different menu each night, from local traditional specialties to simpler dishes reinterpreted with mastery.
The food stalls open around 7:30 PM; live music and shows suitable for all ages accompany the dinners.
The 2026 festival is structured over ten evenings (August 14-23) with the following format:
