Edition 2025 — Fried Anchovy of Monterosso
The 2025 edition confirmed the tradition of the Fried Anchovy Festival in Monterosso al Mare, held over a weekend in June. The star was the Monterosso anchovy, a PAT product caught with the lampara, served fried and crispy, salted on crostini, and paired with pasta.
The Pro Loco stands enlivened Piazza Garibaldi and Piazza Tina Anselmi, while the village filled with craft markets and folk music. The Sunset Tour of the National Park of the Cinque Terre was also featured, with tastings and stories about the maritime tradition, in one of the most evocative gastronomic festivals of the Riviera di Levante.
Programme
The festival took place over two days with food stands opening at noon in Piazza Garibaldi and Piazza Tina Anselmi (fried anchovies, salted anchovies on crostini, pasta with anchovies), craft markets, folk music, and the Sunset Tour of the National Park of the Cinque Terre.
