Strozzaprete Festival

A festival dedicated to Romagna's symbolic pasta

In the heart of summer, the hamlet of Savio di Cervia, in the Province of Ravenna, gathers around the PalaSavio on Via Tamigi for the Strozzaprete Festival, one of the most cherished local festivals on the Romagna coast. Strozzaprete is a simple, ancient pasta, made only from water and flour and rolled by hand: here it becomes the absolute star of nine days of conviviality, flavors, and fun.

The cuisine: strozzaprete in all its varieties

The heart of the event is the kitchen, managed with passion by volunteers and the 'azdore' of the Pro Loco Savio, who prepare the pasta strictly by hand every day. Strozzaprete is offered in numerous variations, from land-based to seafood sauces, alongside other great classics of Romagna cuisine.

• Strozzapreti with ragù and traditional peasant sauces
• Vegetarian and seafood versions, such as strozzapreti with shrimp and cherry tomatoes
• Mixed grilled meats and fried Adriatic fish
• Homemade desserts and wines from the Romagna hills

For years, the festival has also paid attention to those with celiac disease, with marked dishes and the collaboration of local associations.

Music, dancing, and entertainment for everyone

Beyond the food, the Strozzaprete Festival is a grand popular celebration that enlivens the PalaSavio square every evening. The program alternates live music and dancing, workshops and dance recitals, shows, and entertainment for families. For the little ones, there are bouncy castles, evening entertainment, and cinema under the stars.

Savio di Cervia, between the sea and the pine forest

Located at the southern end of the Cervia Municipality, along the Savio River and a short walk from the pine forest and the beaches of the Riviera, the hamlet offers the ideal setting for an evening of authentic flavors. The festival is the time of year when the community of Savio comes together and welcomes tourists and visitors, in the true spirit of Romagna hospitality.
