Cuisine of Emilia-Romagna Region for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

La Rocca Sforzesca di Imola (XIII secolo) The combination of the two ethnic groups in Emilia-Romagna’s name is not accidental. If you look at the cuisine of the region, you will see that both these ethnic groups contributed equally to the formation of the culinary traditions of this land. Emilia’s cuisine is plentiful, nutrient, and has a great taste. The aristocrats ruled here since the beginning of time, and they had never been greedy on their confidant chefs. Romagna’s cuisine is much more modest and is based on the agricultural products and seafood. Those multidirectional tendencies create such traditional for the region dishes, as lasagna, pasta with a filling, and tortellini.
