Tour of Italy Dinner: Lombardy

Join Lark for a five course tour of Italy's Lombardy region - bordered by Switzerland to the north and Emilia-Romagna to the south. From the modern sprawl of Milan to alpine valleys and lakeside resorts, it’s Italy’s wealthiest region. Lombardy’s Po River valley is covered by large swaths of rice paddies, so it’s not surprising that risotto is a staple of its cuisine. Other staples of the region include more butter than olive oil, braised dishes, polenta, and other hearty dishes.
