Italian dining – the ingredients

Italian ambiance

In la bella Italia, lunch and dinner are seen as time to socialize, chatting amiably with friends or family and enjoying each other's company; often in a fine, animated atmosphere where there is a lot of laughter; and singing, because Italians see singing as a fine way of connecting family and friends.

If you go to an Italian restaurant, you must not miss the waiters with Italian temperament. They breathe extra life into your dinner and pamper you to the nines.

Italian cuisine

We don't need to tell you that an Italian dinner is not complete without delicious pizza or pasta. Fresh home-made tagliatelle, linguini or ravioli complemented with pure ingredients will make your taste buds crave for more.

As acompaniamento with that pasta or the main course, Italians often serve freshly baked bread. Perfect for savouring your pasta down to the last drop of your sauce. Moreover, traditional Italian bread is ultra delicious with antipasti -- with extra virgin olive oil of course.

Although pasta is the big star of Italian cuisine, the dolci must under no condition be overlooked. Delicious, sweets like tiramisu, panna cotta, cannoli ... It doesn't get any more Italian than that. Felicità on your plate.
