Luckily they also love their gelato :) I had lots of it, most of the time sticking to my favorite flavors (pistachio, yogurt and coconut). I was never disappointed!
I also did my best to try the local specialties as I traveled...
Sfogliatelle in Napoli
Pesto and focaccia in Cinque Terre
Ribollita in Firenze
fresh fish along the coast
Ricciarelli, panforte margherita and a pine nut torte in Siena
the obligatory (and delicious) tomatoes
... and undocumented wild boar, salami, prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella and pecorino tuscano. I never thought much about pecorino until I tried the tuscan variety- if you're a cheese lover definitely give this a try!! I don't think I've ever tried buffalo mozzarella as good as I had in Napoli, either, but now I'll be on a mission to find out if I can :)
I'll end this post with the most amazing wedding cake I have ever had. Hands down. Millefoglie (thousand layer cake) with chantily cream and flecks of bitter chocolate. I went back for seconds and even contemplated scrounging off of others plates for a bit more, but decided I'd have to figure out how it was made instead! Stay tuned ;)
With that, I'm off to dream about the cake and try to get back on Boston time!
What's the most surprising thing you've tried on vacation??
