What you should know about PIADiNE.
PIADiNE is best known for specializing in the piadina romagnola, the traditional flatbread of Emilia-Romagna that received IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) status from the European Union in 2014, preserving centuries of regional culinary heritage through freshly prepared piadine filled with imported Italian cheeses, cured meats, seasonal vegetables, and house made accompaniments that faithfully reflect one of Italy's most iconic street foods.
Freshly pressed flatbreads emerge warm from the griddle with a lightly crisp exterior and tender interior before being generously filled with creamy stracciatella, silky prosciutto, fragrant mortadella, peppery arugula, roasted vegetables, and energetic pesto prepared from carefully selected Italian ingredients. Rich espresso, homemade desserts, and refreshing Italian beverages complement every meal while allowing the remarkable simplicity of Romagnol cuisine to shine. Every bite celebrates exceptional ingredients, balanced flavors, and traditional preparation, creating a physical experience that transports guests from the heart of Paris to the Adriatic coast of northern Italy.
