The handmade pasta of the Croatian village of Filič
The Sagra dei Cavatelli is one of the summer gastronomic events in San Felice del Molise, in the province of Campobasso. The village, known to its inhabitants by the Croatian name Filič, dedicates the festival to the handmade fresh pasta that has always been one of the cornerstones of the village's cuisine.
The cavatelli are prepared and seasoned according to traditional recipes: among the toppings that characterize the village's cuisine, the sauce with ventricina stands out, the symbolic cured meat of San Felice produced according to the ancient Slav-Croatian tradition. The sagra (festival) is an opportunity to taste an identity dish in its authentic context.
The festival, with evening opening of the stands, combines good food with music and entertainment, in a convivial atmosphere that involves residents and visitors. Like the other summer events in the village, the Sagra dei Cavatelli is also a moment of gathering for the community and for the many San Felice natives who return for the holidays.
In 2026, San Felice del Molise renews the Sagra dei Cavatelli, scheduled for early August. In the historic center of the Croatian village of Filič, in the province of Campobasso, handmade cavatelli will be served according to traditional recipes, accompanied by music and entertainment.
The exact dates and program for the 2026 edition will be confirmed closer to the event.
