Popular Cities in Italy
Traditional Sweet Dishes
Tiramisu
Tiramisu was created in Treviso in the 1960s, its name means "pick me up" because of the coffee and mascarpone that revive the palate.
Cannoli
Cannoli come from Sicily, where fried pastry tubes are filled with sweet ricotta and were originally made as a celebratory treat for Carnevale.
Panettone
Panettone is a tall, dome-shaped sweet bread from Milan, made with natural yeast and a long rising that gives it a light, airy crumb studded with candied fruit.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Pizza
Modern pizza was born in Naples, and the Margherita was famously created for Queen Margherita in 1889 with tomato, mozzarella and basil to mirror the Italian flag.
Pasta
Italy has more than 300 traditional pasta shapes, and each shape is designed to cling to particular sauces so texture and sauce work together in every bite.
Risotto
Risotto relies on starchy short-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli, cooked slowly so the grains release starch and create a luxuriously creamy texture without adding cream.
Traditional Beverages
Espresso
Espresso, whose name means "pressed out", is brewed under high pressure to concentrate flavors and create a golden crema that top aficionados prize.
Limoncello
Limoncello hails from the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento, and it is made by steeping lemon zest in neutral spirit then sweetening the extract for a bright, icy digestif.
Grappa
Grappa is a pomace brandy distilled from the skins and seeds left after winemaking, it began as a rustic farmhouse drink and now comes in refined, aged varieties.

Buy intercity train tickets early, IC and Frecce fares drop a lot in advance, local trains are fine without reservations.
Coastal towns were unreal, but regional trains ran late a few times. Two weeks felt rushed, aim for 10 days per region to relax.
Got sunburned in late May, weather is finicky in spring. People are warm, but pickpocket risk higher in crowded metros.
Italy blew my expectations, food every day was incredible, cities crowded in July, budget more for food and museums than you think.
Check museum websites, many offer free entry days or timed slots, book popular galleries weeks ahead to avoid queues.
