Dalla Lella is a historical Piadineria in Rimini, and proudly holds the reputation of serving the 'real Romagnola piadina'. With three piadinerias in Rimini and one even in New York, this place is a must for those who want to taste a real Rimini piadina. There are thousands of piadinas and "cassoni", from the classic one with prosciutto, arugula and squacquerone, to the finest ones with special ingredients.
