When you think about the words food and delicious you must think about Italy!

Ofcourse we all know spaghetti, lasagna and pizza, but the Italian kitchen has a lot to offer. There are many restaurants to choose from and the prices are affordable. In a normal restaurant you can get a pizza for about 8 euro to 15 euro, lasagna an spaghetti for about 10 euro.
But don't forget to look around and visit a bakery. They sell a lot of sweet cakes and cookies which are all delicious!

Pizza you can get literately everywhere. Mostly you just buy a whole pizza, which is enough for a meal. There are so many different types you can choose from and I just can’t decide which I like best. I love the small restaurants, where you can see the stone oven where they take the pizza out with a big spoon.

Lasagna, one of my favorite dish but evertime I order it, the taste will be different each and every time. The most special place where we ate lasagna was a small souvenir shop which sold local speciality’s including wines. It only had 2 tables and a simple menu. The daughter of the owner cooked the meals fresh and it was just delicious!

What about the very nice gelato! How can I almost forgot about that! My husband just loves ice creams so he can’t pass a gelato shop without buying ice creams. This result in most of the time 3 ice creams a day! They cost about 2 euro, but in touristic places they can go up to 3 euro for 2 scoops.

An other delicious desert is panna cotta. A pudding with sweet vanilla flavor. You can choose your topping like blueberry or chocolate.

Are you a fan of taking presents to your family or friends? We whenever we are in Italy we would take some bottles of Limoncello at home. This is a strong alcoholic drink which is made of lemons… Ofcourse! This is a refreshing drink and it tastes like summer.

Ofcourse there are other dishes like pasta, sandwiches or salads. Just give it all a try and tell me what you like to eat in Italy!
