Traditional Italian Food and Wine
Even in some Italian (tourist) cities, it can be a real challenge to find authentic regional cuisine. This guide will keep you safe from harm!
Folks visiting Italy are always amazed by the bounty of traditional food that is so ubiquitous throughout the country. Indeed, it’s one of the main reasons to tour this delicious landscape. Tourists come with high expectations and very often those expectations are surpassed. The tempting culinary offerings are everywhere you look, from the humble pizzeria to the elegant ristorante. From the little carts selling street food in Palermo, to the gelaterie found in almost every piazza of Rome.
A foreigner could easily be forgiven for packing on a few extra pounds during the course of their Italian vacation.
And yet, if you take a quick visual survey of the Italians themselves you’ll notice, somewhat surprisingly, that there doesn’t seem to be an obesity issue. In fact, just the opposite. Everybody looks quite healthy. So what’s their secret to eating so well while staying so fit and trim?
Let's take a deep dive into this concept and see if we can learn from the Italians themselves.
