How can I even start? I heard so many things about the\nexceptional culinary in Italy that when arriving in the country I had high expectations\nalready. Well, those high expectations were not high enough! The food is absolutely\namazing! I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever be able to live somewhere and not compare the\nculinary to the one in Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gelato is the one thing I was most looking forward to eating!\nI tried so many gelato places! I would definitely recommend saving some of your\nstomach for a gelato dessert after meals! You won\u2019t regret it! At least, I didn\u2019t. It is so different, and it\ntastes fresher. I can\u2019t really explain, but it is definitely different from ice\ncream in America (Ben & Jerry\u2019s will never be the same). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pasta. What can I say about the pasta? It is in every\nrestaurant and I\u2019ve never eaten so much in my life! I even found pasta in a Japanese\nrestaurant menu! I was never a big fan of sauces in my pasta, but Italians just\nknow how to put the perfect amount. I was basically eating it every day (which\nsounds bad, but I was eating my salad too, don\u2019t worry). I would allow myself\nto do it, because I am walking so much, I feel like I am burning it off, and\nready for the next! The pizza is also so good and so different from the ones in\nAmerica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used to not drink coffee at all. I made some Italian friends\nand they told me that I didn\u2019t like coffee because I was drinking it wrongly my\nwhole life. Of course, I didn\u2019t really believe them, but I was open to new experiences,\nso I agreed to go to a coffee place with them. Just a side note now: Did you\nknow that the coffee shops are actually called bars in Italy? I didn\u2019t know that,\nso I just used to think there were lots of drinking places on the streets! When\nI tried the Italian coffee, it was the first time I could actually say I liked\nthe taste of it. A week later and I think I\u2019m addicted J. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you ever decide to come visit Italy, don\u2019t forget to come\nready to experience the food! Make sure you prepare your stomach! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
