§ I — The format

A culinary walk

Mi Gusto San Marino is built as a food and wine walk through the alleys of the historic centre. Via Eugippo and the surroundings of the Crossbowmen's Quarry host stands and themed corners, each with a specific offer. The project was born to showcase Sammarinese restaurateurs and those of the surrounding territory, alternating traditional cuisine and research-driven spaces, with openings towards non-Italian cuisines.

The format took root from its early editions thanks to the combination of location, evening atmosphere and the wide range of offer. Specialities of local cuisine give way to the Italian aperitif, then to South American and Asian cuisine, themed cocktails, craft beers and Titano wines.

§ III — Practical info

How to organise

The festival mostly unfolds in the evening hours: the historic centre in mid-summer empties of day visitors in the late afternoon, leaving room for the celebration. The ZTL pedestrian zone remains active; access to Via Eugippo is via the public car parks of the surrounding area.

Visitors arriving from the Romagna Riviera can rely on regular bus services, which run evening trips in high season. Accommodation facilities offer dedicated packages: bookings on the central weekends of August fill up well in advance.

«Mi Gusto changes the light of the town. By seven in the afternoon the alleys smell of frying, spices and sauces. The historic centre becomes a table a kilometre long.»
