A taste of Italia

Hi Again!

Let me tell you something, if anyone ever tells you that the food in Italy is below average, that it will not be what you expect, or mediocre.

They. Are. Crazy.

Italian food made in Italy is by far the best cuisine I have ever had in another country EVER PERIOD.

I’m Mexican and the Al pastor tacos in Mexico are bomb af but there is no better taste than the mouthwatering flavor of freshly handmade pasta and sauce.

Its giving me a mouth-gasm just thinking about it. Ugh!

It might have been pure luck but no matter what little restaurant we ended up in the food we would eat was always to die for.

Whether it was the true authentic Neapolitan pizza from Napoli, fresh prosciutto with mouth watering burrata cheese that just oozed out as soon as you cut into it in Rome, or fresh clam pasta in Capri,

EVERYTHING,

Let me repeat,

EVERYTHING WAS BEYOND AMAZING!

I don’t think I could or would ever get tired of the Italian cuisine. It was literally one of the best cuisines I have ever had.

We had prosciutto with either fresh mozzarella or fresh burrata for almost every meal (It’s kinda addicting).

I’m a bit lactose intolerant. I can’t have whole milk or a ton of dairy or else my stomach starts having wild conversations with me. In Italy the thought of having that discomfort went out the door because none of the dairy I consumed made me feel sick. I know, CRAZY!

I swear whatever they put in our foods here in the US is what makes people sick (but that is entirely a different conversation).

Having all the fresh cheese and milk in my coffee that I wanted was one of the best things ever!

We had SO MUCH PASTA and I had SO much Espresso while we were there that I now want my own espresso machine (maybe this years Christmas present to myself???)

I could type away and continue to tell you about how incredible all the food was but instead, let me just show you with the pictures we took of it!
