Food and Drink Experiences in Italy

Of course, when you think of Italian food – you immediately think of pasta and pizzas.

The types of pasta vary significantly depending on the region you visit in Italy.

"Pasta alla Carbonara" is popular in Rome. The pasta is prepared with eggs, Pecorino cheese, guanciale (cured meat) and black pepper.

Another Roman delight is "Spaghetti alla Carbonara", another egg-based pasta. Simply served with bacon, cheese, pepper and chilli pepper.

When it comes to talking about pizza; the first thing that springs up is Margherita. This famous plain pizza originates from Naples, and is a very easy but tasty dish. Served in Italy, the popular Marguerite pizza, will be on a crispy, thin-crust base and topped with olive oil, basil, garlic, tomatoes, the best mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

One of the best ways to get the true taste of Italian dishes is directly from local chefs. Those who are more than passionate about cooking and sharing their stunning culture with you. Food bloggers are usually the best resource for locating good places to eat local cuisine, drink rich wine, and visit iconic sites when travelling. Alternatively, food and drink experiences such as our food tours in Florence are another way of discovering Italy first hand.
