Home to what’s arguably the most famous cuisine in the word, Italy is a top destination for food lovers. Traditional Italian cuisine is extremely rich and varied, changing immensely from one region to the other.

While you will find more Mediterranean flavors and ingredients on the southern tip of the country but northern regions such as Veneto or South Tirol have a clearer influence from nearby Germany and Austria. And Piedmont and even some Lombard areas took much from French cuisine.
