UPCOMING EVENTS

Sagra del Pesce di Mare di Mantova
Thursday, September 2nd / $29 per person

In Italy, a sagra (plural: sagre) is a local festival involvi ng food. It is often dedicated to some specific local food and features an array of dishes and products. Towns and provinces all over Italy hold their annual sagre, drawing locals and tourists alike to the celebration. The range of gastronomic specialties covered across Italy is amazing. Riva Cucina will be offering its own special Sagre menus on Thursday nights in honor of the sagre that are taking place this summer in Emilia Romagna.

Felonica (Mantova) is currently hosting its seafood sagra. The festival takes place by the local sport center and lasts for three weekends. Every evening volunteers set communal tables where they will be serving specialties featuring seafood dishes, from appetizers to entree. The sagra celebrates summer and it raises funds for local children’s sport programs.

We hope you enjoy our special menu in honor of Felonica Sagra del Pesce.
