I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

#DOSTUFF

I’m pretty sure my tongue and belly enjoyed Italy as much as I did, because the whole country is a culinary wonderland. Handmade pastas, fluffy pizza dough topped with fresh vegetables and paninis stuffed with the most divine cheeses… I actually think they’ve made it illegal to make any kind of bad food there because everything that went into my mouth, took my taste buds for a spin.

2. Coccoli

Fried Pizza Dough Balls. Please excuse the low quality of this photo. All I had time to grab was an iPhone pic before the rest of the members at my table ravenously devoured these little pockets of heaven. the Prosciutto and magical dipping sauce on the side was a nice touch too.

10. Pizza

It’s frowned upon if you don’t finish your whole pizza… actually it’s not but no judgement if you do! If you’re in Florence, you MUST go to Gusta Pizza.

11. Formaggio gnocchi

Formaggio means cheese so basically this is Mac and Cheese on crack.

12. Panini

You’ve never had a sandwich until you’ve had a panini from Italy. Try it with truffle sauce!

13. Cafe latte

This is an American “Latte” but “latte” means milk in Italian so if you order a “latte” you will literally get hot milk. Throw that “cafe” in front of it.

14. Tiramisu

A beloved classic.

15. Proscuitto

Italy’s version of ham, and it’s no joke!!
