Italy
Milan · Modena · Bologna
Where Italy's kitchen rules were written.

A note from the editor
I had the pleasure of traveling to Milan and Emilia-Romagna seven months pregnant. Skipping the Italian wine turned out to be a blessing in disguise: insiders took my mission to eat well, and eat for two, seriously, and pointed me toward what’s actually worth it versus just overhyped. For quick trips to Modena and Bologna, just 1-1.5 hours by train, I cover Emilia-Romagna too.
