Our last meal of 2019. was nothing extravagant but we will sure remember it. 🙂
THE LAST DINNER OF 2019
FICO
Our visit to Bologna ended with a visit to the largest food park… in the world – FICO.
EATING IN BOLOGNA
Although Bolognese cuisine is not very much different then that of Modena or any other city in Emilia-Romagna, but since it has a long and important part of Italian history, it deserves a text on its own.
BOLOGNA
With our busy Italian schedule last year, we actually had no more than one day to visit Bologna, so instead of wandering around I booked a free walking tour through a web site called guruwalk. Little did I know at the time that our guide would be a Croatian girl.
AI DUE PLATANI
What are the chances your tour guide gives you the food recommendation that’s already on your restaurant list? If you have prepared yourself for your food trip, big. And we assure you, Debeli did an excellent job when it came to the selection of the trattorias and osterias in Emilia-Romagna.
ROCCA SANVITALE
Fifteen minute car drive from Le Roncole, direction Parma, lies small town of Fontanellato.
CULATELLO
While on a post Christmas Sunday prosciutto tour, that we booked with Parma Golosa*, our guide took us to a small village in the northern part of Po valley. The place is probably better known as the birth place of famous Italian opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi. Fewer people actually knows that Le Roncole is one of the eight villages in the area that makes something very delicious and very precious.
PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA
The most recognizable Italian product is probably prosciutto.
ENZO FERRARI MUSEUM
Slow food and fast cars is a motto of Modena city and no wonder why since some of the most prominent men representing both food and cars were born just there. So if I give you just two words: red and a horse, I’m sure you would be able to make the connection, right?
VIGNOLA
During an extended research before our trip to Modena, I was browsing through the map, trying to figure out the best locations for our experience, when a certain village caught my eye.
