About Gnocco Festival

The Gnocco Festival is the historic gastronomic feast of Teolo (province of Padua), in the heart of the Euganean Hills. For several Sundays in April, Piazza Perlasca comes alive with the covered gastronomic stand of the Comitato Popolare Feste a Teolo: the absolute star is the handmade gnocco, served with ragù, tomato sauce, butter and sage, accompanied by chicken, pancetta, polenta, and typical desserts. The festival is also an opportunity for walking tours through the Hills with the Cammini Euganei.

Handmade gnocchi in Teolo

The Gnocco Festival is one of the most beloved gastronomic festivals in Teolo, a town in the Euganean Hills in the province of Padua. For several Sundays in April, the central Piazza Perlasca, in the main town, hosts the covered gastronomic stand of the Comitato Popolare Feste a Teolo, with the patronage of the Municipality.

Gnocchi is the king of the festival

The undisputed protagonist is the handmade gnocco, offered in its most classic variations: ragù, tomato sauce, butter and sage. The menu is completed with chicken, pancetta, polenta, good wine, grilled sausages, and the typical dessert schisotto. The stand is open for lunch (11:30 AM-3:30 PM) and dinner (5:30 PM-8:30 PM), while stocks last.

Festival and Euganean walks

The Gnocco Festival is also an opportunity to discover the territory: on some Sundays, a hiking excursion departs from Piazza Perlasca, organized by the Cammini Euganei, combining the pleasure of food with the joy of walking along the trails of the Hills. An event that has marked the spring of Teolo for decades.
