Food week · Circolo Mf 80
From August 3 to 8, 2026, every evening from 7:30 PM, Via Trento hosts the 41st edition of the Cantinone, the food week organised by the Circolo Mf 80 under the patronage of the Municipality of Montefiascone. A different local-cuisine menu every day, a short walk from Rocca dei Papi and Santa Margherita Cathedral.
The Cantinone offers a different set menu every evening, from the ragù-based fettuccine of the opening night to the grand finale on Saturday. Here is the full programme as listed on the Circolo Mf 80's official poster:

The Cantinone is one of Montefiascone's longest-running food traditions: in 2026 the Circolo Mf 80 reaches its 41st edition, a mark of continuity that few other summer events in town can match. For a full week, Via Trento turns into an open-air dining room, with the club's own cooks serving a different menu every night.
It isn't a one-off tied to a single weekend: it's a fixed date on the local summer calendar, built for visitors who want to taste home-style cooking without restaurant formality, in a convivial setting a short walk from the town's main monuments.
Via Trento sits in Montefiascone's historic centre, within easy walking distance of both the Rocca dei Papi and Santa Margherita Cathedral. That makes the Cantinone easy to pair with an afternoon walk through the town's main monuments before sitting down for dinner.
These are open-air dinners with limited seating, especially on themed nights such as the game evening (Tuesday, August 4) or the seafood evening (Friday, August 7). It's advisable to book ahead by calling +39 338 4373689, the number listed on the Circolo Mf 80's official poster.

Yes. Each evening has its own menu, from ragù-based first courses and a game-themed night to a seafood evening on Friday, August 7, and the grand finale on Saturday, August 8.
No. The Cantinone is a separate event organised by the Circolo Mf 80 under the patronage of the Municipality of Montefiascone. Its dates partly overlap with the Wine Fair's calendar, but it has its own venue, programme and menu in Via Trento.
