About Mambrotta Asparagus Festival
Asparagus takes center stage in Mambrotta
The Mambrotta Asparagus Festival — "sparasi" is the Venetian dialect term for asparagus — is the festival celebrating the signature product of this hamlet of San Martino Buon Albergo, in the province of Verona. Asparagus cultivation in Mambrotta has been documented since the late 19th century and developed significantly after World War II, becoming the village's identity trait.
Two weeks of seasonal flavors
For about two weeks, the food stand offers traditional dishes featuring asparagus: asparagus risotto, omelets, gnocchi, and other seasonal specialties. Evening openings, with some days also open for lunch, make the festival a meeting point for lovers of good food in the Verona area.
More than just food
The festival combines cuisine with outdoor activities, such as the bike ride and the walk through the Mambrotta countryside, highlighting the link between the product, the territory, and its community. An authentic festival, expressing the agricultural tradition of the Veronese plain.
