    The Italians have the knack of taking a few simple ingredients and turning them into something superb. I have been around the world and there is nothing like it anywhere else. Try if you want, but you will not find any bad food in Italy. The bread is unbelievable, I have tried and failed to duplicate it many times and I have never found it anywhere else...it's a mystery :) You might come across something weird occasionally but no matter....it will still taste superb. Fresh is key...I seen a woman at the market in Naples snurlling her nose up at the best looking artichokes I have ever seen, because the weren't fresh enough lol.

      you're right, simple but above all fresh ingredients and then the gastronomic tradition that should be a UNESCO heritage site. it is a form of popular culture that is difficult to transfer to other countries. It is essential for an Italian to eat well but because it is a habit. Unfortunately in modern life we have to accept some compromises. unwillingly I live in Bergamo, this is a terrible moment, but luckily nothing is missing and good food helps us to live carefree moments ciao

    Hi Mike! This past spring semester in college I studied abroad in Perugia, Italy for 6 months (it’s right between Rome and Florence) and I couldn’t recommend a place more to go for food! I had been to Florence and Rome many times when I was abroad and the food is obviously amazing in those two places but the food in Perugia I think is even more amazing! It’s even more affordable as well. If you ever go back to Italy, which I highly recommend, you should go to smaller cities as well! The food, the views, and the people are truly amazing and it really gives you a feel of the true Italian lifestyle. The region of Umbria has amazing little towns and cities and I would recommend them to anyone if you want to see more of Italy!

    Story time. I went to Rome on a two week college course studying archaeology in 2013. We went to Lake Nemi's caves, and walked for a good four hours. On the way back, I had the best meal ever at a restaurant near a cliff that I don't know the name of and I'm sure I'll never find again. They served the food family-style. When the meal was over, I ordered the Tiramisu for dessert. That was the best thing I have ever eaten, and I'll never find it again.

It spoils your taste for food anywhere else. Only Roma came a close second. Simply put, everything about Florence is magnificent, majestic, painfully beautiful, especially its sunsets, and its history. Bella Firenze!

I wish I was in bella Italia and eating all its wonderful foods, not to mention the exquisite beauty of it. I miss it badly! But with this pandemic who knows when I will be able to travel again. Recently I have been missing Roma, even though the last time I was there the people were very nasty to me (which I never understood because I am a very polite and friendly traveler, not a tourist). I had vowed that I would NEVER return to it, but I miss it and all the beautiful spots that I have wonderful memories of, i.e., like sitting in a café with a perfect view of the Vittorio Emmanuel monument. I sat there for as long as I was allowed just enjoying the view. Magnificent! But yes, I would consider going to Genoa (it too is beautiful), but first going to Ferrara to visit the gorgeous castle, and back to bella, bella Siena, where I was BEST treated by its people, who treated me like royalty! They are the warmest, friendliest people I met in Italia. The rudest, the nastiest were the Romans. I wish I was in Piazza del Campo in Siena. Sorry for this long post, but I so appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the awesome food, or architecture or history, of Italia because I love it so.

I miss this most exquisite city, but the food is the BEST ever! He is right, you can't have a bad food day. Impossible in Florence! It has the best food ever! I still remember a minestrone soup I had in a tiny restaurant that looked like Dante was about to walk in. It was so delicious that I have not had one as good since (and I'm talking many years). The food is SO good that it spoiled it for me having Italian food not from Italy, particularly from Florence.

      @tizianodematteis7071 6 років тому +13

      @@Erhnam_Djinn soooo... Italian here. In Italy we don't really have the concept of "main course". Most very traditional meal have at least two courses: "primo" (which usually consists of carbs, such as pasta or rice) and "secondo" (which usually consists of proteins, such as meats, fish, cheeses, egg dishes, etc.). The "secondo" is usually served accompanied by vegetables. Typically at the end of all of it we eat fruit. Now, this is only how very traditional meals work, but nowadays people would either eat a primo or a secondo plus veggies and some fruit afterwards. Some exceptions do exist, but are rather rare.
