About Sagra dello Gnocco di Mioglia

In Mioglia, a small municipality in the Savona hinterland bordering Piedmont, the Sagra dello Gnocco is the major gastronomic event of the summer. For over twenty years, the Pro Loco has been serving gnocchi in the most beloved Ligurian traditional versions: with pesto, tocco, and porcini mushrooms. Three days of stalls, music, and conviviality that in 2026 will be included in the calendar of Authentic Ligurian Events.

Gnocchi, the star of summer

In Mioglia, a municipality in the Province of Savona nestled among the woods of the Erro Valley bordering Piedmont, the Sagra dello Gnocco is the festival that for over twenty years has drawn lovers of good food to the Savona hinterland. Organised by the Pro Loco Mioglia, it is one of the most cherished events of the summer season.

Three Ligurian traditional sauces

The absolute star is the gnocchi, served in the three most classic variations of Ligurian cuisine: with pesto, with tocco (the typical Genoese meat ragรน), and with porcini mushrooms, the prime ingredient from the Apennine woods surrounding the village. Alongside the signature dish, stalls offer other local specialities, in a village festival atmosphere that lasts for three days.

An authentic hinterland event

For 2026, the Sagra dello Gnocco has been included in the regional calendar of Authentic Ligurian Events, an award that recognises festivals capable of promoting local products and traditions. For those wishing to discover a less touristy Liguria, far from the beaches and immersed in greenery, Mioglia and its sagra are a genuine destination.
