Don't order pizza in Florence

Of course, there is fantastic pizza in Florence. Italian food (spaghetti with meatballs, pizza, risotto, etc.) is often thought of as a single cuisine in the United States. However, Italy is divided into 20 regions, each of which specializes in a delectable dish made using unique skills and ingredients.

People in this country have strong feelings about which pasta shape goes best with which spaghetti sauce. You must travel to Naples, where the Margherita pie was invented, for the most authentic pizza experience. The best Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is found in Bologna, Sicily is recognized for cannoli, the Amalfi Coast is famed for Limoncello, and Rome is known for carbonara. One of Italy's biggest draws is its cuisine culture, which is designed to be both enjoyed and taken seriously.
