Sagra del Pesce
Fish takes center stage in the Genoa hinterland, with seafood menus and a dancing night
About Sagra del Pesce di Montoggio
The sea in Val Scrivia
In Montoggio, a Municipality in the Metropolitan City of Genoa nestled in the upper Val Scrivia, the Sagra del Pesce is one of the most beloved gastronomic events of the season. Curiously, it is precisely in the hinterland, far from the coast, that fish becomes the protagonist of a keenly felt village festival, organized by the Pro Loco Montoggese.
A menu that is a guarantee
The heart of the festival is the table. The menu, tested over the years, offers linguine with fish sauce, trenette with pesto, baked prawns, fried fish, chips, and dessert. A proposal that combines the flavors of the sea with the Ligurian land tradition, like pesto, in a balance typical of regional cuisine.
Festival and dancing
In addition to gastronomy, the festival is an occasion for celebration: the evening comes alive with dancing and live music, in a cheerful atmosphere that involves families and visitors. For those who want to discover the Genoa hinterland and the Val Scrivia, the Sagra del Pesce di Montoggio is the ideal opportunity for an evening of taste and conviviality.
