Gnocchi and Carpione Festival

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.

Village Festival on the Larian Triangle

The festival takes place in the Market Area of Via XXV Aprile, in Albavilla, in a village festival atmosphere that combines good food and conviviality. For those visiting the Larian Triangle at the beginning of summer, it's an opportunity to taste the authentic flavors of the region and experience the genuine spirit of the festivals organized by the Pro Loco associations of the province of Como.
