Romagna
Another must-try dish is tagliatelle al ragù, a rich and hearty pasta dish featuring long, ribbon-like noodles smothered in a flavorful meat sauce made with tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, ground beef, and sometimes pork. This classic comfort food is a favorite throughout Italy and is particularly delicious in Romagna.
Seafood lovers will be delighted by the fresh catch from the Adriatic Sea, which is plentiful in Romagna. From grilled fish to seafood risotto to fried calamari, there are endless ways to savor the flavors of the sea in this coastal region.
Meat dishes are also prominent in Romagna’s cuisine, with specialties like Romagna-style grilled meats (carne alla brace), made with locally sourced beef, pork, and game meats, seasoned simply with salt and herbs and cooked over an open flame for a smoky flavor.
No meal in Romagna would be complete without a glass of Sangiovese wine, the region’s signature varietal. Produced in the rolling hills of Romagna, Sangiovese wines are known for their bold flavors, robust tannins, and excellent acidity, making them the perfect complement to the region’s hearty cuisine.
