📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Cassoni are a snack of San Marino and Romagna made by wrapping fillings in piadina dough, folding into half-moons, and cooking on a griddle. Fillings vary — spinach or greens, tomato and mozzarella, potato and sausage — and they're sold alongside piadina at stalls.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a stall on a sloping street in San Marino, half-moon turnovers cook on a griddle and green filling peeks out in the steam when one is cut.
