October 28, 2011
After many failed attempts this summer, I finally had lunch at L’Asino d’Oro.

Piadina: Italian Bread Recipe
October 17, 2011
The piadina, an Italian flatbread, is so easy to make that there’s no excuse not to make them at home. I first had a taste of piadina on my first trip to Senigallia a few years ago and my first thought were that they were like tortilla. Since then, we always get a piadina when ... Read More »
