Sagra · August 25, 2026 – August 30, 2026 · Morano Osteria (PG)
Get ready for the 45th edition of the Sagra della Bruschetta in Morano Osteria! This beloved festival takes place in a unique two-level venue: the ground floor is entirely dedicated to dining, while the upper floor is where you can enjoy dancing and live music. This setup allows you to savor your dinner with the perfect background soundtrack from above. The Sagra della Bruschetta is organized by the Pro Morano Tourist Association, which, with the invaluable help of the Moranesi locals and their exceptional culinary skills, boasts a renowned and high-quality kitchen. Each year, they offer a delicious menu featuring excellent first courses, hearty main dishes, and, most importantly, a wide variety of bruschette. The undisputed star of the entire menu is the Morano Bruschetta, truly unique and inimitable because it's made with flour from the Morano Osteria stone mill, unfiltered raw olive oil, and garlic. Every bruschetta is first imagined, then carefully crafted to perfectly balance its flavors, and finally, once prepared by skilled hands, tasted to ensure an excellent result. Plus, each bruschetta is made fresh to order, ensuring you taste and savor every single ingredient at its best.
Prepare your taste buds for an incredible array of bruschette, the star of the show! You'll find classic combinations like 'Aio e oio' (garlic and oil) and 'Pomodoro' (fresh tomato), alongside more adventurous and gourmet options. Indulge in 'Al Contadino non far sapere' with robiola cheese, caramelized pears, and crispy prosciutto, or try 'La Gourmet' featuring stracciatella cheese, mortadella, and pistachio crumble. For something truly unique, don't miss the 'Moranese' bruschetta with sautéed pork jowl and sage, or the 'Tirolese' which is a polenta bruschetta with speck and smoked scamorza cheese. Beyond bruschette, the menu offers traditional Italian first courses like 'Penne alla norcina' and 'Tagliatelle al sugo d'oca' (tagliatelle with goose sauce). Main courses include a mixed grill with local meats and 'Baccalà arrosto' (roasted cod). Don't forget to try 'Crescia,' a local flatbread served with various fillings like sausage and cheese, and save room for delightful desserts such as 'Bruscanutella' (toasted bread with Nutella and hazelnut crumble) or a classic Tiramisù.
