Bazzanese-Style Mixed Fry Festival

The "Bazzanese-style" mixed fry in Mombaruzzo

The Bazzanese-Style Mixed Fry is the flagship gastronomic event of the Pro Loco Amici di Bazzana APS, an association founded by a group of friends in the small hamlet of Bazzana, in the municipality of Mombaruzzo (Province of Asti, Piedmont). For years, these enthusiasts of traditional Piedmontese cuisine have made the mixed fry their signature dish, even creating their own personal "Bazzanese" version, which gives the entire evening its name.

A tradition of the Asti Monferrato

The Piedmontese mixed fry is one of the iconic dishes of the Asti and Monferrato regions: a rich and varied composition of breaded and fried meats, vegetables, fruits, and sweets, blending savory and sweet notes on the same plate. In Bazzana, this dish is prepared with great care and served in a festive format, where the fried feast is the absolute star, complemented by a full menu of local traditions.

A traditional Piedmontese menu

The evening offers a generous culinary journey designed to showcase the flavors of the territory:

• Antipasti (starters) in the Monferrato tradition;
• Ravioli al plin, the famous hand-pinched Piedmontese ravioli;
• Tajarin, the typical egg tagliolini;
• Grilled meats and charcoal-cooked dishes;
• Farinata (chickpea pancake);
• and, of course, the grand Bazzanese-style mixed fry.

Everything is paired with local wines, in an area renowned for viticulture, including Barbera, Dolcetto, and Moscato d'Asti.

Music, dancing, and conviviality

Beyond the food, the evening is enlivened by music and dancing, reflecting the convivial spirit that has always defined the initiatives of the Amici di Bazzana. It is a wonderful opportunity to gather, share a table, and experience the authentic atmosphere of a Piedmontese village festival.

A recurring appointment

The Amici di Bazzana organize their mixed fry evenings at various times throughout the year, traditionally in spring and autumn, with occasional dates in the winter months. Reservations are mandatory due to high demand: the association's headquarters are located on Via Alessandria in Bazzana di Mombaruzzo, easily accessible from nearby towns in the Asti and Alessandria areas.
