About Romagna Food & Wine Culture
The rich culinary tradition of Romagna, home of piadina, strozzapreti pasta, ragù alla romagnola, passatelli in brodo, and Sangiovese wine, one of Italy's most distinctive and satisfying regional food cultures.
Romagna, the eastern part of the Emilia-Romagna region, stretching from Rimini and the Adriatic coast to the Apennine foothills, has one of Italy's most robust and characterful food traditions. Unlike the more refined Bolognese cuisine of Emilia to the west, Romagna's cooking is hearty, direct, and deeply tied to the agricultural and fishing traditions of the coastal plain.
Key dishes include: strozzapreti ('priest stranglers'), a twisted pasta served with meat sauce or mushrooms; passatelli in brodo, a comforting soup of breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan and nutmeg pressed through a special tool and cooked in beef broth; cappelletti in brodo (small filled pasta in broth); and ragù alla romagnola, a robust meat sauce. The Adriatic fishing tradition contributes brodetto di pesce, a rich seafood stew. Sangiovese di Romagna DOC is the region's signature red wine, robust and fruity. Local festivals (sagre) celebrate specific foods throughout the summer and autumn.
Did you know? Romagna's passatelli in brodo is made by pressing a mixture of breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan and nutmeg through a special tool directly into boiling broth, a technique and recipe virtually unchanged for centuries.
