About Raviolo Festival

In Vallebona, a small village in the hinterland of Bordighera, the raviolo is a serious matter: protected by the De.Co. and rigorously handmade according to a recipe created for the patronal feast of San Lorenzo. The Raviolo Festival celebrates it with two events, in July and August, when the village fills with aromas and conviviality. Recognized as an Authentic Event of Liguria, it is an opportunity to taste an authentic dish and discover one of the most characteristic villages of the Riviera dei Fiori, in the province of Imperia.

The Raviolo of Vallebona

The Raviolo Festival is the gastronomic festival that symbolizes Vallebona, a village in the hinterland of Bordighera in the province of Imperia. The protagonist is the raviolo, protected by the De.Co. (Municipal Denomination) and rigorously handmade according to a traditional recipe, created for the patronal feast of San Lorenzo.

Two Events, One Tradition
