Experience the Sagra del Somarino in Tresigallo, Ferrara, held at the picturesque Laghetto Peschiera. This event offers a rich menu featuring unique local specialties made with 'somarino' (donkey meat), such as pappardelle and cappellacci, alongside traditional dishes like pumpkin cappellacci and castrato. It's a fantastic opportunity to savor authentic local cuisine in a lively, festive atmosphere.
Indulge in a variety of local flavors, from hearty first courses like Pappardelle al Somarino and Cappellacci al Somarino, to comforting Cappellacci di Zucca (pumpkin-filled pasta) served with butter and sage or a rich ragu. Main courses include grilled Castrato (mutton), a generous Costata steak, and the signature Somarino e Polenta. Complement your meal with classic sides like mixed salad, french fries, or unique options like Pinzino con Crudo (fried bread with cured ham) and grilled Tomino cheese with vegetables.
Join us for three weekends of festivities! The Sagra del Somarino runs from Thursday, September 3rd to Sunday, September 6th; Thursday, September 10th to Sunday, September 13th; and Thursday, September 17th to Sunday, September 20th.
