The Festa della Costata in Roverchiara
The Sagra di San Zeno in Roverchiara, in the province of Verona, is famous as the Festa della Costata, described as 'the most famous 'costata' festival in Bassa Veronese'.

Certified 'Costata' and Veronese Cuisine
The absolute star is the beef 'costata' (certified AZOVE heifer), accompanied by traditional Veronese dishes such as 'maccheroncini con musso' (small pasta with donkey ragu) and 'picanha'. The food stalls, with ample covered seating, are the heart of a festival that combines good food and conviviality for five days.
