The Best Food To Try in Italy

During your visit to Italy, you probably want to try as much delicious food as you can. Italy is closely associated with a variety of foods, ranging from pasta to pizza and from cheese to dessert. Therefore, make sure you show up hungry! What are a few of the most popular traditional foods in Italy you should try?

Pizza

Without a doubt, any trip to Italy has to start with pizza. Delicious pizza can be found all over the country, but you will probably find the best pizza in Naples. If you have a Neapolitan pizza, it means that it is based on the style in Naples. Neapolitan pizza is typically made with a thin, flatbread-style crust, tomato sauce, whole basil leaves, and buffalo mozzarella. It is not that complicated, but it is absolutely delicious.

Balsamic Di Modena

During your visit to Bologna, you will probably see Balsamic Di Modena. It is one of the most popular regional foods in the country, and you should not miss out on it. This is where some of the best balsamic comes from, and there are strict requirements that the dishes need to adhere to. It will be silky, sweet, and smooth! Consider drizzling it on top of a plate of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese!

Risotto

Risotto is another very famous Italian food that you can find all over the country, but you will probably find the best risotto either around Lake Como or in Calabria. This is a dish that was developed in Italy. It is a creamy rice dish made from short-grain arborio rice. Then, it is cooked in vegetable, beef, or chicken broth. Once it is thick, it is talked with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese before being filled with seafood, mushrooms, and a variety of herbs.

Tortellini

Pasta is something that is inextricably associated with Italy, and one of the most popular types of pasta is tortellini. It is typically stuffed with cheese and meat before being served alongside a variety of other foods. Every region in Italy is going to have its own twist on tortellini, so don’t hesitate to branch out and try a few options! Make sure you don’t overlook any of these foods during your trip to Italy.
