Romano beans, also known as Italian pole beans, are wide and flat and have a less delicate texture than green beans but share their mild and sweet flavor. For an over-the-top dinner menu, serve these beans with arugula with Italian plums, paccheri with shellfish, grilled red mullet, grilled bistecca, and brioche au rhum. We said over-the-top.
