Have you ever heard of a salad coming from an Island called Sicily?
For me it’s one of the best salads in the world and I would like to share with you the recipe of “Pantesca Salad” (or if you want a taste of my language too… “Insalata alla Pantesca”)!
After talking so much about pizza in my last posts, I thought it would be nice to explore the topic of Italian street food.

A question was left unanswered in the previous post, so let’s do it now: Continua a leggere
Pizza is surely one of the first things that come to mind when thinking about Italy. Of course it is, since we are talking about a delicious dish loved by Italians and appreciated all over the World.
