About Pinzin Festival
The pinzin, flavour of the Polesine
The Pinzin Festival of Runzi is one of the most cherished gastronomic festivals in the hamlet of Runzi, in the municipality of Bagnolo di Po in the province of Rovigo. The star is the pinzin, the typical fried pastry from Polesine, served hot to be paired with cured meats and cheeses.
Dining between tradition and taste
The covered stand at the parish field, in Piazza Runzi 82, offers a rich menu: pinzin with typical cured meats (Venetian, Emilian, Tuscan), prosciutto crudo, artisanal porchetta, or lighter options with cooked ham, bresaola, and cheese. Among the first courses, the egg tagliatelle with duck ragù or meat ragù and the spätzle with speck and cream stand out; to finish, desserts from the trolley.
A community celebration
Organised by the volunteers of the Sagra di Runzi, the festival is a village event that combines good food and socialising in the Polesine countryside. For visitors, it's an opportunity to savour the authentic flavours of the Rovigo territory in a family atmosphere, in the Municipality of Bagnolo di Po.
