Five Foods You Need to Have in Italy!
Pizza, Pizza, Gelato, and more Pizza!
Eating new foods in new places is one of my favorite aspects of traveling. I have the biggest sweet tooth, so going to a new place and finding their best dessert has been a hobby of mine for some time now! From Churros and Chocolate in Spain, to Chimminy’s in Prague, there was no way I would make it to Italy without getting some authentic gelato! Below are Five Foods we Tried in Italy!
Authentic Italian Meal, Pizza, Salad and Pasta!
It would be criminal to come to Italy without trying an authentic meal. We sat down in Milan with our Italian beers and stuffed out faces with bread, spaghetti, pizza, and the best salad I have ever had! If we had more time in Italy, I would have loved to take a cooking class on making homemade pasta or pizza, that’s still on the bucket list! For now, I am completely satisfied with the memories of this delicious meal.
2. gelato
Every time I look at my gelato photos my mouth waters! This was by far the best Gelato I have ever had, nothing in the States could ever compare! Not to mention sitting down and enjoying this by Lake Como was the cherry on top. Don’t be afraid to taste test a million flavors while here ;)
3. a cappuccino and baked good
No matter where you are in Europe, the coffee and baked goods are just heavenly! We enjoyed so many fancy coffees and scones around Europe but I always think of this cappuccino in Italy! The perfect mix of sweetness and high quality coffee mmm. We stumbled upon a baked good shop in Como and it was impossible not to want everything there! Somehow I always gravitate to chocolate croissants :)
4. mcdonalds
Ok this one might be cheesy to some - but we LOVE to try McDonlad’s around the world! Every country has something unique to offer like the Stroopwafel McFlurry in Netherlands, Haupia pies in Hawaii, and Shrimp burgers in South Korea it is so fun to see what other cultures enjoy! We are big chicken nugget fans and love to compare how countries around the world make them different! We also always opt in for a lest on McDonalds meal while traveling to save money because eating out every meal can add up quick in a new place.
5. pizza! eat all the pizza you can!
Alright I know I mentioned this in the Authentic Italian meal - but eat allll the pizza you can while in Italy! Nothing compares! If it wasn’t frowned upon I probably would have eaten it every single meal we were here! I am a big fan of New York Pizza and even enjoy my Chicago deep dish, but this thin crust, wood oven baked pizza just doesn’t even compare!
