Sagra della Montanara in Festa XL

Liberi · Campania, Italy · Summer (14 consecutive weekends) 🟡 Partially verified

A beloved summer institution at the foot of Monte Melanico, with the fried Neapolitan montanara pizza as its flagship — but the 'XL' name reflects an extended, rolling format: each of 14 consecutive weekends spotlights a different Caserta speciality, from Abruzzese-style arrosticini to caciocavallo impiccato (cheese hung and melted over open coals), all paired with the local Casavecchia DOC wine.
