About Festa del Buon Mangiare
The festival of taste in Val Lerrone
The Festa del Buon Mangiare in Casanova Lerrone is one of the most beloved gastronomic events in the hinterland of Albenga, in the Val Lerrone, province of Savona. With over thirty years of history, the festival is now a well-established tradition that draws visitors from all over the Riviera di Ponente and nearby villages.
Dishes of Ligurian tradition
The absolute star is Ligurian land cuisine: ravioli made according to the local recipe, rabbit the Ligurian way fragrant with olives and aromatic herbs, and slowly cooked spit-roasted porchetta. The food stalls, set up by village volunteers, offer the authentic flavours of the Savona hinterland for three days, accompanied by local wines.
Music, dancing, and village festival
Alongside the food, the evenings are enlivened by music and dancing, transforming the small community of Casanova Lerrone into a meeting point for residents and tourists. The Festa del Buon Mangiare preserves the genuine spirit of village festivals, where conviviality and the rediscovery of local products are as important as the dishes served.
