The typical Larian village dish is the star of Torno's patronal festival
The Sagra del Toc is the gastronomic heart of the patronal festival of Torno, a charming village on the eastern shore of Lake Como, in the province of Como. The star is the Tòc, a local traditional dish made with polenta and cheese, served with missoltini (dried lake fish), salamelle, or a mixed version: a concentrate of the simple and identity-rich cuisine of the Lario region.
The festival takes place at the parish oratory of Torno on the occasion of the September patronal festival. The evening, starting from 7:00 PM, offers dinner with Tòc and accompanies the religious and community moments of the celebration. It is an event cherished by the village inhabitants, who find the thread of tradition in shared meals.
Torno is famous for its lake views, villas, and alleys descending towards the water. The Sagra del Toc, with its traditional cuisine, offers an opportunity to experience the village in its most authentic and popular dimension, away from tourist circuits, in the heart of the province of Como.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra del Toc and Festa Patronale is scheduled for September at the parish oratory of Torno (CO). The final date will be confirmed by the parish.
Confirming tradition, the evening features dinner with Tòc from 7:00 PM, served with missoltini, salamelle, or mixed, as part of the village's patronal celebrations.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be announced by the parish. The traditional structure includes:
