Benvenuto in Liguria! It is thought that the region now known as Liguria in north-western Italy was named for a tribe of Indo-European nomads known as
was to play an important role in the developing history of Rome and Italy entire from the fourth century B.C.E. onwards, most notably in their split allegiance during the Punic Wars, with the majority of those in this region siding with Carthage and a small
in trade due not only to the influence of Rome but also its prime location in the western Med-iterranean, and it continued as a trade depot through the middle ages and into the early mod-ern period. Due to the fact that Liguria has long served as a crossroads of cultures, peoples, and ideas, it is no wonder that Ligurian cuisine has de-veloped such a distinctive quality.
Our new menu prominently features three signa-ture Ligurian specialties carefully crafted by our chefs. We begin with our pesto lasagna, as pesto is a staple of Liguria originally having developed in Genoa traditionally showcasing a spectacular balance of Genovese basil, Ligurian olive oil, and
-ceptional list of pastas. As your secondi for the evening, give our Zuppa di Pesce a try.

And now join us for the next iteration of our Italian adventure as we introduce you to the flavors of Liguria!
Convivio Italian Artisan CuisinePresents
Emilia-RomagnaFERRARI, PARMIGIANO, BALSAMICO, RAGU’ alla BOLOGNESE…and the list goes on…una regione eccezionale!
The region of Emilia-Romagna is located in northern Italy, extending from the Apennine Mountains to the Po River. It is known for its elegant medieval cities, sun-soaked Adriatic beaches, and rich gastronomy. Bologna has its pasta and meat sauces, Parma its famed prosciutto and Parmigiano cheese, and Modena the world's finest bal-samic vinegar.
Emilia-Romagna is also the haven of Italian speed. Italy's "Motor Valley" is home to some of the most prestigious carmakers like Ferrari, founded here in 1929, Lamborghini, Ducati, and Mase-rati. There are four international race tracks, 7 manufacturers, 11 museums, and other impressive collections —fans of dazzling sports cars are in for a real treat.
Dante Alighieri, author of the literary work Convivio, lived in Ravenna for 20
years after he was exiled from Florence, until his death in 1321. His tomb is in a small 18th-century building near the Basilica di San Francesco.
And finally, Emilia-Romagna is where you will find some of the best cuisine in Italy. The strong food culture has been around for centuries and is proudly protected to maintain its quality.
We have chosen four signature specialties to give you a taste of some of our personal favorites. Start with Erbazzone, a regional savory pie. The traditional recipe has humble origins and is a product of the 'cucina povera' or "poor cuisine" because it was tradi-tionally made from ingredients found easily in the vegetable garden and on the farm. Ours is stuffed with spinach, Swiss chard, pancetta, parmesan and ricotta and served with Marinara and gorgonzola cream sauce. Per primo, Lasagna Bolognese of course! Per Secondo, Filetto Balsamico from Modena. To finish off your meal, we have Torta di Riso, a traditional cake from Bologna. This cake was originally prepared for the Addobbi festivity – an old feast day to celebrate a Parish anniversary. Arborio rice is slowly cooked in milk and spices, then baked until soft and springy. The liquor is brushed over the cake while it is still hot to obtain the characteristic sticky crust.
We hope you enjoy your next stop on our tour of Italy. Benvenuto a Emilia-Romagna!
