Festival of Carbonara and Artichoke
Roman cuisine at Contrada San Martino
About Carbonara and Artichoke Festival
Rome on a trip to Legnano
The Festival of Carbonara and Artichoke brings Roman cuisine to the Municipality of Legnano (Province of Milan), thanks to Contrada San Martino, one of the eight contradas of the Palio. In the spaces at via XXIX Maggio 207, the contrada sets up a fully covered and heated hall, suitable for all ages.
Flavors of the Capital
Chef Pippo, a well-known face at Legnano festivals, works in the kitchen. The menu celebrates two protagonists of Roman tradition - carbonara and artichokes - with:
- Pasta alla carbonara
- Artichokes alla giudia
- Roast porchetta
- Coda alla vaccinara
- Supplì cacio e pepe
A Contrada in Celebration
Like the other festivals of the Palio di Legnano contradas, this is also a moment of strong community cohesion: the members of San Martino take care of the kitchen and service, welcoming citizens and visitors. The covered and heated hall makes it suitable for families and those looking for a different option, featuring Roman flavors, just a short walk from the center of Legnano. Takeaway is also available.

From January 30 to February 1, 2026, Contrada San Martino in Legnano will bring Roman cuisine to the table with the Festival of Carbonara and Artichoke. In a covered and heated hall, guests can enjoy typical dishes from the capital.
