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.

Italian dining culture revolves around quality ingredients, regional identity and unhurried meals. Each Italian region has its own pasta shapes, sauces, cheeses and cured meats, and locals take pride in what grows or grazes nearby. A full Italian meal moves from antipasto through primo (pasta or risotto) to secondo (meat or fish) and dolce, though casual trattorias and pizzerias serve lighter, faster meals. Espresso and a cornetto for breakfast is a national institution.
