The Boissano Grigliatona: food and wine traditions in the heart of Liguria

The culinary identity of Boissano

The Boissano Grigliatona, organized by the Pro Loco Boissano APS, serves as a benchmark for the rediscovery of the region's gastronomic roots. The event is hosted at the Via Marici Festival Area, a space designed to welcome the public in a protected environment, ensuring the event takes place even in adverse weather conditions thanks to covered seating. The culinary offering focuses on enhancing local products, prepared according to the timing and recipes of regional tradition.

A rigorous gastronomic offer

The food and wine journey begins with a selection of appetizers that highlights iconic ingredients, including diced panissa and scallions grown in nearby lands. The first course selection offers a dual spirit, ranging from classic ravioli with meat sauce, an expression of inland cuisine, to the more maritime tagliolini with swordfish. These dishes serve as a prelude to the main section of the menu, dedicated to the art of open-fire cooking.

The beating heart of the offer is the grill, which features a mixed grill of selected meats, alongside historical specialties such as brandacujun, a typical dish based on stockfish and potatoes, and spit-roasted cockerel. The meal is accompanied by fresh seasonal side dishes and a selection of artisanal desserts, crafted using methods that reflect a focus on the quality of local raw materials.

Event dynamics

The atmosphere is enriched during the evening hours thanks to a carefully curated program of musical entertainment. The format of the event encourages socialization in an informal context, where food culture meets group dancing, regularly enlivened by DJ sets that accompany visitors throughout the evening. The organization guarantees high hospitality standards, making the event a significant meeting point for the local community and visitors passing through the Riviera di Ponente.
