… other typical specialities, coming from the country traditions, from both mountain and flat areas:

Chestnut Flour Tagliatelle with Porcini Mushrooms and Sausages

Black Cabbage Farinata

Polenta Gnocchi with Pecorino Cheese
Al Fiasco Beans (boiled in a typical glass container)

Fried or Stewed Eels

Spleen Crostini

Fried Frogs

Necci (another dessert made with chestnut flour)
