Tagliatella Festival - Cairo di Mombaroccio

A village festival in the heart of Montefeltro

The Tagliatella Festival takes place every year in August in the hamlet of Cairo, a small village in the Municipality of Mombaroccio, in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino. It is one of the most heartfelt food and wine events in the Marche hills, capable of transforming a quiet hamlet into a meeting point that attracts visitors from all around and beyond for a few evenings. The event is part of the rich calendar of summer events in the Mombaroccio area, made up of festivals, traditions, and culture.

Handmade tagliatella, the true star

The heart of the festival is the strictly handmade tagliatella, prepared by the volunteers of the Tagliatella Committee. Thousands of portions leave the committee's kitchens at each edition, dressed with sauces from traditional Marche peasant cuisine. Around the signature dish, food stalls offer local traditional specialties, in a genuine and familiar atmosphere that is the hallmark of village festivals in this area.

Not just food: entertainment for all ages

In addition to good food, the evenings of the Tagliatella Festival are enlivened by entertainment for all ages: from briscola tournaments, a classic convivial pastime in the Marche villages, to musical evenings with live music and dancing. Admission to the festival is free, in line with the popular and welcoming spirit of the event.

Organization and context

The festival is organized by the dedicated Tagliatella Committee in collaboration with the Pro Loco Mombaroccio APS, the municipal administration of Mombaroccio, and various local associations and organizations. It is part of the broader summer program promoted by the Pro Loco with the patronage of the Municipality and the Province of Pesaro and Urbino. For those visiting Mombaroccio, the festival is also an opportunity to discover the medieval village, the Sanctuary of the Blessed Sante, and the hills that characterize this corner of the Marche region.
