La Raviola Comodà
The Roero gastronomic evening dedicated to the traditional raviolo, in Piobesi d'Alba
About La Raviola Comodà
La Raviola Comodà, a Roero tradition
In the heart of the Roero, just a few kilometres from Alba and in the province of Cuneo, the town of Piobesi d'Alba preserves one of the region's most cherished gastronomic traditions: La Raviola Comodà. This convivial evening is dedicated to the «comodà» raviolo, a classic dish of Piedmontese peasant cuisine that gives the event its name and has been drawing residents, curious foodies, and gourmets to the village for twenty-five years.
A festival that has grown with the community
What began as a simple gastronomic event has evolved over the years into a defining appointment for Piobesi d'Alba. In 2026, the festival celebrated its 25th edition, a significant milestone that highlights how deeply rooted the initiative is in the life of the town. Joy, entertainment, and good food are the ingredients that, edition after edition, bring the community together around the festival tables.
Organization and volunteering
The beating heart of the event is the Pro Loco of Piobesi d'Alba, which spends months preparing for the evening in collaboration with the Municipality and numerous local volunteer associations. Dozens of people work behind the scenes to make the night possible: from preparing the ravioli to table service and welcoming guests. It is precisely this spirit of collective participation that makes La Raviola Comodà much more than just a dinner.
The «comodà» raviolo, the star of the evening
At the centre of the festival is the «comodà» raviolo, a specialty typical of the Piedmontese tradition of the Roero. The event is the ideal opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavours of local cuisine in a familiar and festive setting, accompanied by the typical hospitality of the Langhe and Roero, lands famous for their food and wine, including great vintages like Roero and Nebbiolo.
Piobesi d'Alba and the Roero
Situated in a panoramic position among the hills of the Roero, Piobesi d'Alba is a small town in the Piedmont region, part of a territory internationally recognised for its vineyard landscape. Attending La Raviola Comodà means experiencing the authenticity of a Piedmontese village and discovering an area rich in wineries, castles, and nature trails, just a short distance from the city of Alba, the capital of the white truffle.
