Four evenings of Ligurian cuisine in the inland village of Savona
When July arrives, Giustenice, a village in the hinterland of Savona in Liguria, comes alive with its Great Gastronomic Festival. In Piazza San Michele, for several evenings, the community gathers around the table to taste the dishes of Ligurian tradition prepared by volunteers.
The gastronomic offering is rich and typical: ravioli, gnocchi, grilled meat, snails, and the characteristic zucchini fritters, accompanied by local wines. These are dishes that tell the story of Ligurian inland cuisine, made with simple ingredients and home recipes.
The festival is organized by the Parish of Saints Lorenzo and Michele with the involvement of the village's young people, a sign of a tradition passed down from generation to generation. The evenings are accompanied by live music, which transforms the festival into a true community celebration.
Participating in the Great Gastronomic Festival means discovering an authentic corner of Liguria, far from the crowded coastal resorts. Giustenice, with its views and its intimate atmosphere, offers the opportunity to experience the Ligurian summer in a genuine and convivial way.
The 2026 edition of the Great Gastronomic Festival of Giustenice is scheduled for July, following the tradition of holding the event in mid-month. The precise dates will be announced by the Parish of Saints Lorenzo and Michele in the preceding weeks.
For several evenings, Piazza San Michele will host food stands with inland Ligurian cuisine, accompanied by live music.
The detailed program and 2026 dates will be confirmed by the organizers.
Giustenice can be reached from the Pietra Ligure (A10) motorway exit, heading inland. Piazza San Michele is the heart of the village.
Free admission. Food stands generally open at 7 PM. Dishes are paid.
