“If you go to Italy, you should try _______,” your Just-Got-Back-in-Italy gashs the friend. As if it was so simple at any time. In Italy, there are 20 different regions, hundreds of regional dialects and at least 350 types of pasta. And these are just pasta figures, not pasta sauce. The culture of the country, and especially its cuisine, is anything but unbroken.
That is why it is not impossible to announce a single “Must-TRAI” dish in Italy, it is misguided. I will never advise you to order a pasteo Paglia More than this, I recommend ordering handmade orechit in Liguria. Not because you will not find decent versions, but because they do not have regional specialties, and generations of the residents there do not fulfill cooking, eating and fulfilling these dishes. In pizza VeniceMaybe one near. But Spaghetti con wongolA big yes.
Regional cuisine in Italy was largely based on what yield, livestock or sports was prevalent in the region. That’s why Tulsi, which thrives Liguria coastal microclimateGenoves is the star of Pasteo. Durum wheat cultivated in southern Italy is the base for the Orechit pasta of Puglia, which is usually paired with another product of Paglian soil: turnjam greens. And that’s why you are doing better ordering fish or seafood in Venice instead of a mushroom and sausage pizza.
In my area of umbria, seasonal dishes with pasta or black tuffles with wild boar are specific, but in Rome one hour south, you should look for the best pasta carbonra or outside Carcioffi alla giudoDeeply fried Artichokes who are the identity of the Jewish community of Rome.
The best way to find the “Must-TRAI” dish of each region is to do a little homework before your journey, and discover the specialty of each region and the city that you are planning to travel. You can try “X in X in X” lists, but there is a possibility that those list is recycled from each other. Local tourism websites and even your hotel website can give tips on what to eat and where to eat. You can also ask your taxi driver, tour guide, or kansiaz, and they will be happy to be happy about the best food to eat in your city or area.
If you are visiting many destinations in Italy, bring your hunger, thrill, and taste for new foods and tastes. Just remember: It’s not all pizza, pasta and gelato – however, we do them quite well.
