Travel writer Kaitlyn Rosati visited all 20 Italian regions and concluded that Emilia‑Romagna offers the nation’s finest food. The region produces the most protected designations of origin and geographical indication (PDO/PGI) products – 44 in total – including Parmigiano‑Reggiano, balsamic vinegar of Modena, Prosciutto di Parma and mortadella.
Emilia‑Romagna also hosts world‑renowned restaurants such as Osteria Francescana, Al Gatto Verde in Modena and Trattoria da Amerigo in Savigno. The town of Savigno, known as “Città del Tartufo,” provides truffle‑hunting experiences with trained dogs, often organized through the Appennino Food Group, a truffle‑export firm founded by Luigi Dattilo.
