As in every corner of Italy, on the Adriatic coast — particularly in the Emilia-Romagna region — you'll find excellent cuisine and plenty of dishes that should go on your "Must-Try in Riccione" list. First and foremost: everything related to seafood. Numerous taverns offer tourists the tastiest and freshest delicacies, masterfully prepared by skilled chefs.
Italian national cuisine, known for its cheeses, has produced a unique product in the Riccione area. Here, they make a delicious Parmesan cheese known locally as Parmigiano Reggiano. You should also definitely try the local sausages and hams: salami, Parma ham, Bologna’s boiled sausage mortadella, and pork loin.
The Emilia-Romagna region is especially famous for its exquisite olive oil and balsamic vinegar, so be sure to order a salad with vegetables, herbs, some exotic fish, and generously season the dish.
According to local legends, this part of the Apennine Peninsula is the birthplace of lasagna and tortellini. So, even just for comparison, make sure to try these dishes at one of Riccione’s cozy restaurants.
