A trip to any region of Italy evokes an understandable desire to get a closer look at authentic Mediterranean cuisine, with seafood, vegetables, pasta and spices considered "flagships".
The province of Rimini has been a melting pot of Gallo-German, Greek-Latin, Byzantine and Arab culture since ancient times. This has left its mark on the region's culinary tradition.
There is a long tradition of cheese-making here. Fossa and pecorino cheeses are particularly prized. Rimini's most typical dish is the famous piadina with squaquerone cheese.
A popular dish in Rimini is cappelletti, an Italian dumpling with various fillings. The meat dishes include lamb marinated in wine and roasted with onions, garlic and tomatoes.
Fish dishes are so plentiful that we can only mention the vongole or clams, prawns and cuttlefish.
Desserts in Rimini are simple. They include pretzels, pjadot and the traditional tiramisu.
Restaurants in Rimini offer tourists mouthwatering dishes like tagliatelli allo scoglio (homemade noodles with seafood), lasagna verde (lasagne with spinach and tomato sauce), tortrllini pasticciati (dumplings in cream sauce), spiedini calamari e gamberi (large spit-roasted prawns and squid), gnocchi al gorgonzola (potato dumplings in gorgonzola cheese sauce).
