Whether you're strolling the cobblestoned streets of Ravenna or the beachside boardwalk of Rimini, you might notice the locals snacking on a folded flatbread, stuffed with salumi, fresh cheeses, dark leafy greens, and more. Meet the piadina, a round flatbread from Romagna, and beloved up and down the Adriatic coast.

Piadina is a round flatbread hailing from the Romagna side of Emilia-Romagna (yup, there is a difference – both in geography and culinary traditions!). Piadina has been a staple on the Romagnolo table for centuries, cooked on a hot griddle, then folded and filled with salumi, fresh cheeses, and more. It is typically enjoyed as street food or at the beach, and it is even served with every meal in place of bread.
