Observed annually in the USA on March 20, Ravioli Day celebrates a traditional Italian dish of square shaped stuffed pasta pockets filled with cheese, meat, or vegetables, typically served with various sauces.

Ravioli has a rich history, dating back to the 14th century in Italy. It was first mentioned in the records of Francesco di Marco, a merchant from Venice, and later became popular in Rome in the 16th century, where it was served with tomato sauce.

Italian towns like Sestri Levante host ravioli festivals, such as "Raviolata," where freshly made ravioli is served amidst music and festivities.

Celebrate Ravioli Day by making ravioli in the home or by eating out at an Italian restaurant.
