Porcini mushrooms are offered in the restaurants during September and October. They are usually served with polenta, a famous Italian corn-based staple, with wild pork or meat sauces. Italians appreciate porcini for their exclusive flavor. You may try a variety of dishes with porcini on the Festival of Porcino and Chianina, which is a name for local beef meat. The festival is held during October weekends.
