Food and drinks

Italy is not only a place to see, it’s a place to savor. Each region tells its story through its food and wine, from a rustic plate of pasta alle vongole by the sea to a glass of Barolo in the rolling hills of Piedmont.

Food in Italy is never just about eating, it’s about sharing, slowing down, and feeling part of a tradition passed down for generations. At a trattoria in Rome, you’ll learn that carbonara is a poem. In Sicily, cannoli whisper of Arab, Spanish, and Norman influences. On Lake Garda, a spritz tastes different when sipped by the water at sunset.

My insider tip: step away from menus in English and let locals guide you, that’s where the real flavors of Italy are hidden.
