So… keeping up with the Italian theme, some of the most popular dishes in the world originate from Italy. But which of them would you never get tired of eating?
I think mine would be spaghetti with lobster (or prawns) and obviously swimming in sauce (I’m a sauce freak). What I realised whilst in Italy was that picking where you eat is very important. Because honestly, the same dish can taste completely different. Some restaurants won’t season the dish very much, whereas others will make all the flavours come alive and it’s almost like you’re living out the scene from Disney’s ‘Ratatouille’!
This was one of the lobster spaghetti dishes I consumed and this one was amazing, but not as flavoursome as the one I had a couple days after somewhere else. But the restaurant I had the below photo in was magnificent, and I would go there for the vibe and atmosphere alone! The pizza there was better I think, but that’s me being incredibly nit-picky!
The pizza’s in Italy were splendid but I think if I could only have one type of Italian cuisine, it would be a pasta dish as there are endless foods you can serve within the dish. And parmesan on top of the pasta tastes like you’ve fulfilled your foodie fantasy… for now!
Which Italian dish would you eat forever? If you’ve visited Italy, which of the dishes made there were your favourite? Are you a cheese fan? If so Italy is for you! The mozzarella balls are phenomenal! Do you have any Italian restaurants you’d recommend? Comment below!
Spaghetti with lobster gets my vote

I am second generation Italian-American and by far pasta with my mama’s homemade sauce I could eat everyday. She called her sauce suego and we would sneak dips of bread in it throughout the day as it slow cooked on the stove! Mangia!

I saw the film when it first came out. It was great. I was once a chef and have worked a lot in hospitals after that so I was naturally a bit perplexed by a rat preparing food in a kitchen. Lol

Same! Ahh it’s such a legendary film. Hahaha it is a very puzzling film, but what Disney film isn’t? The most confusing part is how he managed to get the guy to cook just by yanking the guys hair here and there! 😂 Let’s not even speak about the hygiene aspect behind the film and a rat cooking in the kitchen, then after kids watch it, it’s then their fantasy to have a rat cooking for them haha!

Looks delicious! I never had the two together before. If I could eat any Italian dish forever it would be spaghetti. It’s affordable and also versatile. You can have it as an appetizer, side dish or main meal.

Splendid choice, Antonia! The pasta with lobster looks achingly magnificent, and your vivid descriptions make the stomach growl.
I can think of fates far worse than dining as you did rest of my life.
Still. my choice would be ravioli with garlic. halved cherry tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Drizzle with a little olive oil – magnifico!

Great post, Antonia! I love Italian food, being part Italian myself. There are just too many to list as my favorites. I really want to try a Trapizzino loaded with red wine tomato sauce and fillings. Have you had one?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh really? That’s amazing! Do you make homemade Italian dishes then? Italian food is delicious, Trapizzino looks mouthwateringly good, I’ve never had one. But I’d for sure have all the fillings and tomato sauce as you said, minus the red wine as unfortunately I don’t drink.
I’m now thinking about a Trapizzino non-stop!

Hard salami is drier than Genoa salami, which also makes it harder. … Genoa salami needs refrigeration. There is also some variation in the spices used to make them. Genoa salami typically only uses black peppercorns while hard salamis can contain other herbs, spices, and even wine.
Some additional salami baloney:

Hands down, Italian brick roasted pizza. The ingredients are just so much fresher than anything we have in America. It’s not processed. Loved the lobster on pasta. Looked to die for. I miss Italy. I think it may be time for another vacation there.
