One of the most important things for a majority of travellers who choose to vacation in Italy is the food. The country is impossibly famous for it and for good reason. Classic Italian dishes form a backbone of the diet of people all over the world today due to the simple and often inexpensive ingredients and rich flavours that come from this cuisine steeped in hearty peasant cooking traditions. However, it’s not simply pretentious to say that the Italian food in Italy hits different, it is a fact. So, if you really love Italian food then you need to book a villa in Italy and head there for a holiday to start sampling the authentic version for yourself.
When it comes to particular dishes, each region has its own specialities and strengths but you’ll often also find that the mainstays are great no matter where you go. Take, for example, pizza. You’re sure to find great pizza in pizzerias and restaurants all over the country. But if you're a serious pizza-lover looking to really do it justice and experience it in its birthplace, Naples and Rome are the key destinations that you’ll want to keep in mind.
