Eating & Drinking in Italy





Italians are very proud of their cuisine and rightly so, for their food is renowned throughout the world. Italians trace their gastronomic heritage to Romans, Greeks, Etruscans and other Mediterranean peoples who elaborated the methods of raising, refining and preserving foods. Italian cooking is still very regional with the different towns and regions having their own traditions and specialities. Many mouth watering dishes await the intrepid traveller, hundreds of gastronomy specialities, a lot of truly tasty typical products, and all kept very much alive by a modern agricultural system that is careful about preserving the traditional flavours and nutritional values. The persons obtain time to travel and discover their origins and taste the different dishes and delicacies in the many restaurants and taverns all around Italy. You will discover a much wider variety of food compared to the dishes often offered in Italian restaurants abroad.

If you want to complement your meal absolutely, you will want to order a good wine that is free from the chemical processes so much in use today. Italy offers a great range of wines famous all over the world and many people will still enjoy a glass of wine with their meal although there is a tendency to drink wine only on special occasions rather than as an everyday drink. So relax and choose an Italian wine, again, the choice is ample, but always satisfying; the bright whites to go with white meats, the robust reds for red meats, and then there are the rosés, the sparkling wines, the fortified wines, the liqueurs and the grappas: something to go with every stage of your meal, from an aperitivo at the beginning to a refreshing lemon or strawberry sorbet to round off a perfect evening.
