A Gastronomic Paradise with Incomparable Heritage

From the peaks of the Apennine Mountains, Emilia-Romagna unfurls eastward to the sprawling Rimini beaches on the Adriatic coast kissing the Po River to the north. It cradles a wealth of history, culture, and cuisine along the way. This is the land of Verdi, Pavarotti, Fellini, and Bertolucci. It is the birthplace of Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Maserati. And it is steeped in history, as evidenced by Ravenna’s glittering Byzantine mosaics and Bologna’s Università, the oldest in the world. And of course, Emilia-Romagna represents some of the finest gastronomy on Earth, including Parma’s UNESCO recognized Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and prosciutto, Modena’s balsamic vinegar, and the region’s ragù, handmade tagliatelle pasta, and lasagna which makes everyone feel at home here. Benvenuti in Emilia-Romagna, buon appetito!

"In Italy, food is an expression of love. It is how you show those around you that you care for them. Having a love for food means you also have a love for those you are preparing it for and for yourself."

Joe Bastianich

Mangia bene, ridi spesso, ama molto.

"Eat well,
laugh often,
love much."

“A few years ago, Forbes crowned us the capital of food and stomach of Europe. Needless to say, this is something we are awfully proud of. Right here in Bologna and in the Emilia-Romagna region, we produce the highest number of PDO — Protected Designation of Origin — food stuffs in all of Europe.”

Fabio Bergonzini, N2S
