The success of Italian cuisine as a beloved global cuisine is due to several well-known factors. Its reputation for being “bold yet satisfying without being heavy” has spread far and wide, thanks to its unique blend of various flavors and textures.
Italy’s culinary mastery is rooted in its commitment to using seasonal ingredients, its focus on using pure, locally sourced ingredients, and its ability to turn simple dishes into works of art.

Eating while walking around is considered impolite in Italy. To fully appreciate the effort and time put into preparing the meal, it is important to savor each bite and enjoy the dining experience.
