Cappelletti is one of the most popular pasta shapes in Emilia-Romagna. In the city of Ravenna, they put their own spin on it.
Dante Alighieri, known by the mononym Dante, was an Italian poet and philosopher who is most famous for his work The Divine Comedy which includes Dante’s Inferno.
You’ll find the famous flatbread everywhere from distinctive striped kiosks to sit-down restaurants.
Ravenna, in northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region is often dwarfed by Venice, Florence, and Bologna, all within easy reach of the city. But skipping the former capital of the Byzantine Empire would be a huge mistake.
The city is filled with some of the most important and jaw-dropping artwork of Medieval times in the form of large-scale mosaics decorating churches, palaces, and homes.
And, the food is amazing, too. The local pasta, called Cappelletti is served in a way different from the rest of the rest of the region. There’s also a local bread that that’s stuffed with meat, cheese, and veggies (and sometimes Nutella!) A cookie named for a martyred saint and a festival celebrating a bivalve only adds to Ravenna’s deliciousness.
