Italian Food

Italian gastronomy: restaurants, specialty shops (pastry shops, delicatessen, wine bars, bakeries); typical regional products (among others, coldcuts, cheese, nougat, focaccia, pickled fruit); traditional local and national dishes (from homemade pasta and tasty risotto as first courses to fish and meat specialties for second courses, to exquisite desserts such as tiramisu), cooking schools as Casa Artusi in Forlimpopoli.
