About Gnocchi and Carpione Festival

The Gnocchi and Carpione Festival is the gastronomic festival at the start of summer in Albavilla, on the Larian Triangle, in the province of Como. Organized by the Pro Loco, it brings together enthusiasts around its signature dishes: gnocchi and carpione, lake fish marinated according to the traditional Larian recipe, alongside carpione-style fish and meat, sausages, and ribs. In the Market Area of Via XXV Aprile, the festival is an opportunity to taste the flavors of the territory in a village festival atmosphere, discovering a specialty - lake carpione - that tells the deep connection between Albavilla and the world of the pre-Alpine lakes.

Gnocchi and Carpione

The Gnocchi and Carpione Festival is the gastronomic festival of Albavilla, a municipality in the Larian Triangle in the province of Como. Organized by the Pro Loco of Albavilla, it takes its name from its two protagonists: gnocchi and carpione, lake fish prepared according to the typical marinating technique of the Larian tradition.

Flavors of the Lake

The festival menu focuses on lake carpione, a signature dish of pre-Alpine lake cuisine, along with carpione-style fish and meat, gnocchi, sausages, and ribs. It's an opportunity to discover a specialty that reflects the relationship between the Albavilla territory and the world of the lakes, where marinating originated as a fish preservation method and has become a delicious preparation over time.
