About Italian cuisine

Italian cuisine is one of the world’s most loved food traditions, defined by simple, high-quality ingredients and regional variety. Pasta, pizza, risotto, olive oil and fresh produce sit at the heart of the table.

Germany's restaurant landscape balances a deep-rooted tradition of hearty regional cooking with a sophisticated modern dining scene. Sausages, pretzels, schnitzel and sauerkraut reflect the country's culinary heritage, but German cities now host acclaimed international restaurants and a strong farm-to-table movement. Biergartens and Gaststätten (traditional inns) are central to German social life, while the country's large Turkish, Italian and Vietnamese communities have shaped everyday eating habits across every city.
