Ca 'de Ven<\/strong> is a real institution in Ravenna. A place that fascinates tourists without being touristy.
It is mentioned in all city guides and it is actually a must for those who want to learn about the food and wine specialties<\/strong> of Ravenna.<\/p>\n

We, Ravenna citizens, go to this place to have dinner, sure, but sometimes we just enjoy a glass of Sangiovese with some food as aperitif in an environment without equal in town. As a matter of fact, Ca' de V\u00e8n is in the Fifteenth-century Palazzo Rasponi where dark wood tables are framed by high shelves full of bottles of wine<\/strong> and a spectacular decorated ceiling<\/strong>.
The Palace was a residence of Rasponi family, then in the eighteenth Century it was converted into an inn and later in a grocery until 1975, when its rooms became the location of Ca' de V\u00e8n, winehouse<\/strong> of Romagna wines.<\/p>\n

The big must of this place are obviously the best wines of Romagna (Ca'de V\u00e8n<\/em> in fact means \"house of wine\") and all dairy products and delicatessen with piadina<\/em>, one of the best you can taste in the city. Among the specialties don't miss the squaquerone<\/em>, a slightly acide soft cheese which can be accompanied with arugula and raw ham or even more classically with caramelized figs; another delicious as well as calorific specialty is ciccioli<\/em>, a snack from old country tradition made of bits of pork fat cooked, pressed and flavored with aromas.<\/p>\n

Besides cheese and delicatessen the menu includes also dishes of local cuisine: cappelletti<\/strong>, strozzapreti<\/strong>, garganelli<\/strong> among pasta, grilled meats and gratin vegetables among the main courses. The desserts are traditional, simple, rough like the soul of this land: marzipan<\/strong>, sabad\u00f2n<\/strong>, ciambella<\/strong> and some soft desserts such as trifle.<\/p>\n

I do not think there is a place in Ravenna that can take you better than Ca' de V\u00e8n to discover the meat culinary tradition of Romagna.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
