In Italy, eating is often perceived as a special ritual designed not only to fill the stomach, but also to give a person great pleasure. That is why a lot of time and effort is devoted to cooking in this country, because in the end every dish should turn out to be delicious.
For the preparation of Italian dishes, fresh products from the Mediterranean are used, therefore, having arrived in Italy, tourists often note that the dishes differ significantly in taste from their imitations served in Italian restaurants in other countries. While admiring the sights, do not forget about this feature of Italian cuisine and try to visit, if not a restaurant, then at least a small cafe or pizzeria to taste delicious food.
First of all, you should try pizza. In Italy, many different varieties of this dish are prepared, but the most popular are Margarita, Diabla and Quattro formaggio. In their manufacture, famous Italian cheeses are used, in particular, Parmigiano, which is known to the inhabitants of our country as Parmesan. Whichever pizza you choose, you will surely find its taste special, not like the taste of the usual versions of this dish made in Russia.
Then you should try the spaghetti. In Italy, this dish is served with a variety of additives for every taste: tomato sauce, specially prepared minced meat, garlic fried in olive oil, pieces of pork and eggs, etc. In general, it makes sense to try any Italian pasta-based dishes, including lasagne, cappellini etc. Rice lovers should also try risotto - pre-fried and then stewed in broth rice with vegetables, meat, fruits, mushrooms, seafood or other additives of your choice.
Those with a sweet tooth should pay special attention to Italian desserts. Try panna kota (with or without sweet sauces and berries) and, of course, tiramisu. Just keep in mind that Italian desserts are very high in calories, so if you dream of losing weight, this option is not for you.
