Rome<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

No Italy food tour would be complete without a stop in Rome. Italy\u2019s capital abounds with the intoxicating smells and slap-up sounds of street food: whether it\u2019s wafer-thin pizza alla Romana by the Spanish Steps or a lick of creamy gelato in Piazza Navona, Rome\u2019s al fresco eats are top-notch.<\/p>\n

If a sit-down meal is more your thing, Roman restaurants have an array of local (yet comfortingly familiar) pasta dishes. Cacio e pepe makes use of PDO Pecorino Romano, produced from sheep\u2019s milk in the Lazio region. Eggy carbonara is another favourite.<\/p>\n

On your very first evening in Italy, you\u2019ll be gently inducted into Italian food with a wine-and-dine Welcome Dinner in your quartiere (neighborhood): sit back and enjoy the buzz of Roman life as you taste your way through a traditional multi-course meal.<\/p>\n

You can also enjoy these delicious Italian dishes and more in the capital on one of our best escorted tours to Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Tuscany<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

On our culinary tour of Italy, you\u2019ll stop twice in one of Italy\u2019s most famous agricultural regions: Tuscany. First in Pisa, then in Florence, the hilly countryside between these two culture-packed cities produces some of the richest ingredients in Italian cuisine.<\/p>\n

Tuscan food focuses on only the freshest produce, such as legumes, grapes, olives, beef and pork. Every meal usually comes served with a loaf of unsalted bread, one of Tuscany\u2019s distinctive staples: on your Florence dinner, use it to mop up the jus from a succulent bistecca alla Fiorentina, paired with a Tuscan wine by your sommelier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Liguria<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

The Italian Riviera is as delicious as it is beautiful, and is understandably a favorite on this Italy food tour. Stop for the night at the rainbow port of Santa Margherita Ligure, using it as a base to explore the charms of Cinque Terre by boat. While you\u2019re wandering the UNESCO World Heritage Site, stop in a seafront caf\u00e9 or trattoria to taste the distinguished \u2013 yet easy-to-make \u2013 dishes of the Liguria region.<\/p>\n

Liguria is the home of focaccia, a spongy bread which you can eat fresh-baked with just about any topping. Don\u2019t let it fill you up for the main event; pesto alla Genovese \u2013 green pesto \u2013 is another Ligurian concoction that took over the world, thanks to the uniquely aromatic basil this part of Italy produces. Try it with tagliatelle-like trenette pasta for a proper Ligurian meal.<\/p>\n

\n

Piedmont and Lombardy<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

Moving north to Lake Maggiore, Mediterranean flavours give way to heartier mountain dishes. Ingredients that thrive in cooler, wetter climes \u2013 like white truffles, chestnuts, goat\u2019s cheese and freshwater fish \u2013 often make appearances on menus around the affluent shores of the Italian Lakes<\/p>\n

In the picturesque town of Baveno, follow your nose and pick a restaurant that serves homely northern Italian food: root vegetable stews, saffron-infused risottos, smokey cured meats and Alpine honey desserts, which ought to fill you up for the stylish passeggiata (evening stroll) with your Travel Director.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Venice<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

Venice might not be the first destination that comes to mind when imagining the ultimate Italy food tour. La Serenissima dons a masquerade mask and flaunts its elegance, but its most delicious dishes have their origins in cucina povera: the cuisine of the poor. The Venetian lagoon holds an astounding variety of fish, which are typically caught, salted and preserved \u2013 adding an extra layer of umami to the palate.<\/p>\n

The Grand Italy & Sicily<\/a> itinerary includes a dinner with wine in the Eternal City, so your Travel Director will pick the best place for you to try Venetian meals on your Italy food tour. For starters, you\u2019ll find sarde in saor turns sardine fillets into a showstopper, and for mains try risi i bisi: a pea-and-rice plate the peasantry used to present the Doge of Venice every St. Mark\u2019s Day (April 25).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Campania<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

Whizzing all the way to the south of Italy, a different set of delicacies are available. Incredibly fertile soil makes for an almost-overwhelming selection of local produce, but pizza is the indomitable queen of Campanian food.<\/p>\n

Originally invented to welcome Queen Margherita to Naples in 1889, Neapolitan pizza brags an exceptionally fluffy crust, San Marzano tomatoes grown on the verdant slopes of Vesuvius and the stringiest bufala mozzarella. In Sorrento, you might find the best pizza of your life: best paired with a view over the Bay of Naples and an Amalfi Coast lemon sorbet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Puglia<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks to its hot and dry climate, Puglia is one of Italy\u2019s top durum wheat producers \u2013 it has its own PDO bread, Pane di Altamura, while orecchiette (ear-shaped) pasta is Puglia\u2019s signature shape.<\/p>\n

In Alberobello, where the trulli houses and businesses have roofs shaped like gelato cones, you\u2019ll eat in the home of a local family. Feast on Italian nonna (grandmother)-style cooking as you learn firsthand about what it\u2019s like to live in a literal fairy village. We think this foodie Highlight makes Insight one of the best food tours in Italy, but you\u2019ll have to try it for yourself over a glass of dry Puglian red.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Sicily<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

\n

The Grand Italy & Sicily tour culminates on the Mediterranean\u2019s largest island. As you\u2019d expect, pizza and pasta are perennial big hitters, but what makes Sicilian food really special are its desserts: think cooling watermelon granita, or sweet cannoli \u2013 those piped pieces of heavenly pastry that TV detective Inspector Montalbano<\/a> can\u2019t get enough of.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t imagine where to start with the wonders of Sicilian cookery, never fear: your final night\u2019s Celebration Dinner is your very last stop on this culinary tour of Italy, and we carefully recommend restaurants to ensure you return home having thoroughly enjoyed la dolce vita.<\/p>\n
