MUST-TRY ITALIAN FOODS Italy’s cuisine is a journey across landscapes, traditions, and centuries of craft.
POLENTA: NORTHERN ITALY’S RUSTIC CLASSIC
PIZZA: BORN IN NAPLES, LOVED WORLDWIDE
Originating in Naples as a humble street food, pizza became iconic with the Margherita in 1889 — topped with tomato, mozzarella, and basil to honor Queen Margherita. From Neapolitan’s soft crust to Rome’s crispy base, pizza is a timeless symbol of Italian flavor and tradition enjoyed worldwide.
Golden, creamy, and soul-warming, polenta is northern Italy’s answer to comfort food. Born from ancient traditions and reimagined after corn arrived in the 1500s, it’s served soft, grilled, or crisp — always perfect alongside rich meats, melted cheese, or earthy mushrooms. Rustic, simple, unforgettable.
TIELLA BARESE: PUGLIA’S COASTAL COMFORT
GELATO: ITALY’S COOLEST TRADITION
Straight from the sun-drenched kitchens of Bari, Tiella Barese layers rice, tender potatoes, and fresh mussels into a sizzling, golden masterpiece. Infused with herbs, onions, and a drizzle of bold Puglian olive oil, every bite is a burst of earthy comfort and coastal freshness. It’s not just a dish — it’s Puglia on a plate, rustic, rich, and unforgettable.
Gelato isn’t just a treat — it’s a tradition. Made with natural ingredients, less air, and bold flavor, it’s richer, silkier, and more intense than ice cream. From the nutty depth of pistachio to the zing of limone, every scoop is a tribute to Italian craftsmanship. Served in a cone or cup, on a piazza or after dinner, gelato turns any moment into joy.
