I loved this store . You can get food items from all over Italy and beyond. Prices are high, but well worth it!

Drop dead gorgeous, but extremely crowded. Hold on tight to your belongings as you would in any crowded location. I recommend going late at night or early morning to avoid the insane crowds.

Okay, this is an entire region, but it’s my favorite. It is a bit busy with European tourists, but much less busy than the major touristy spots in Italy. And it is drop dead, gorgeous, and the food is top-notch.
Introduction to the region: Puglia - Regions of Italy

Tuscany

One of my favorite days in Italy was spent at this winery in Trecase in the Campania region. It was drop dead gorgeous with views of Vesuvius on one side and Capri on the other. The wine and food were excellent. The staff were so knowledgeable and at...
