Results for Lombardy, Italia
It's hard to think of an Italian meal without thinking of a wine to enjoy it with, and the food and wine in Italy could arguably be two of the top reasons to travel there.
Pairing your meal with the perfect wine makes the dining experience that much more enjoyable so to take the guesswork out of what will pair best, the following is a brief guide to some of Italy's most renowned regional dishes, spanning from north to south, along with a few recommended wine pairings for each.
Whether you're dining at an Italian restaurant at home or exploring local eateries in Italy, this guide will help you avoid becoming overwhelmed by extensive wine lists if you are unsure what to look for.
In Italy, feel free to also ask the waiter or sommelier for recommendations on what to drink with your food. They are likely to suggest a wine from the region you are in, not only to help support local wine growers and producers, but also so you have the chance to experience the authentic flavors of the area through both the food and the wine.
⭐️PRO TIP - While dining out, if you plan to enjoy wine with your meal but haven't decided on what you will be eating yet, start with a glass of sparkling wine. This way, you'll have something to sip on while reviewing the food and wine menus and making your choice. Sparkling wine is an excellent palate cleanser to prep you for a savory meal, and Italy has some of the best.
Buon Apetito!

During my trip to Italy, I spontaneously decided to spend a day in Bergamo, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much this city has to offer—more so than even nearby Milan, for example. When I picture a classic Italian postcard city, Bergamo now comes to mind. With amazing food (of course), charming little alleyways filled with souvenirs and regional products, and beautiful historic architecture, it has everything you’d want from a city nestled near the Alps.
The city of Bergamo is located in northern Italy's Lombardy region. Bergamo is made up of two parts: the modern extension in the plains below and the old walled core, known as Città Alta ('Upper Town,') situated inside a group of hills. Encircled by vast Venetian defensive systems, the upper town has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 9, 2017.
Let me show you what’s worth seeing!

A map serving up 35 of the BEST pizza spanning the 9 neighborhoods of Milan in 5 unique categories.
About me:
In 2017, after working for Gino Sorbillo in Napoli, I felt my obsession with pizza had to be shared. I founded the Milan Pizza Crawl as a means to show off Milan emerging scene. As I approach my 500th tour, it was hard to keep it to only 35! 🍕
A few highlights:
On the global list of the 50 best pizzerias in Italy, 8 locations are in Milan including Modus who won the best new pizzeria award in 2022.
Mexican-Italian pizzaiolo Simone Lombardi opened award-winning Crosta with a pungent pineapple pizza, controversial and celebrated for its reinterpretation with spicy Abruzzo Ventricina, fiordilatte and fresh cilantro, a riff on his mother's Tacos de Adobada.
In summer of 2022, Denis Lovato opened to share his signature crispy crust "mountain pizza" paired with an impressive wine list (and kombucha!) in central Milan.
I lead food tours in Milan and I am the founder of the Milan Pizza Crawl. Your purchase of the map guarantees an extra pizza stop on the tour - let me know you bought the when you book!

Enter the charming neighborhood of Brera and you’ll soon forget all thoughts of the drab, industrialist Milan. Bohemian grit began to fill the cracks between the uneven cobblestone streets here after WWII, and by the 1960s, the local cafes and galleries brimmed with neorealist filmmakers and designers vying for the Compasso d’Oro award. Due north from Milan’s tourist-filled Duomo and past the storied La Scala, austere, modern palazzos make way for colorful residential buildings, their balconies overflowing with succulents, wisteria and honeysuckle. The name Brera comes from the Lombard word ‘Braida’ which means ‘green space.’ Once a fishing village where boats arrived on canals into Milan from the Northern lakes, today it is considered the most bourgeois neighborhood in Milan.
To experience a hint of old-world Brera is to shop at the weekly outdoor mercato on Via San Marco, notable for its colorful, overflowing bouquets, ample fresh fish selection, multiple produce stands and Italian fashion staples such as leather gloves and cashmere sweaters. On the winding pedestrian streets, worthwhile boutiques and vintage shops are mixed with tourist-hungry restaurants (to be avoided – I recommend the old-school trattoria tucked away nearby). Brera freshly exhibits a new generation of designers and concept boutiques, and admiration of the supermodel-esque locals.
Although more recently famous as a creative’s haven in the 1960s, Brera has for centuries attracted artists and designers who came to study at the art academy within the internationally celebrated museum Pinacoteca di Brera. Soon after it opened, Napoleon, the newly crowned King of Italy, is said to have intended the Pinacoteca to become the Louvre of Italy (Antonio Canova’s colossal marble statue of the monarch sits at the center of the palazzo courtyard today). To follow in the brushstrokes of the prestigious academy’s centuries of attendees is to shop at the historic art supply and print shop Ditta Crespi or flip through the engraved leather journal selection at Pettinaroli.

This is a living guide to the very best places to eat and drink in Apulia&Matera. As I travel back to Puglia - which I do regularly - I will continue to update this list. If you purchase today, you will receive all future updates.
Perfect for a first-timer, or someone who wants to go deeper. Recommendations cover major cities, like Bari, but also off-the-beaten-track options in the countryside that are destinations in their own right. Every place has been verified by me and visited multiple times. Tips for each restaurant include dishes to order and background about the place. I've even included some personal anecdotes to give extra color to each destination!
Fun Fact: Last year I was featured on Delicious Destinations with Chef Andrew Zimmern as his personal guide to Puglia. Videos from our adventure included in this guide.

There is a saying ‘See Naples, the die’. The German poet Goethe said this phrase when he visited the city and fell in love with its sun, its art, its people, and its vibe. I totally agree with Johan Wolfgang van Goethe. Naples is a city that I fall in love with over and repeatedly. And not just for its food. For its ART. 🖼️🎨
Yes, ART!
I created this guide for those of you who want to discover the treasures in the museums scattered throughout the town. Museums and treasures tucked away in churches, museums, and monumental complexes.
So let’s get started! 📒
The guide has my top picks of museums that are located in or near the city’s historic center. And of course, I also included some places to eat, because-well-we’re in Napoli! 😜

Naples has so much to offer, especially if you love art and architecture...and food! 🕍🍝
When I arrived in Italy 30 years ago, some of my favorite things to do was grab my camera, stroll through Naples taking pictures, then grabbing something to eat. 📷🍕
This guide is designed for those of us who want to absorb in the beauty of Gothic and Baroque architecture and pair it with a fun place for a snack, breakfast, lunch or dinner.
A Gothic Architecture Foodie Tour!!
The Gothic period in Naples lasted from the 13th to the 15th century, and was followed by the Renaissance period. There are many churches tucked in side streets or in the corner of small piazzas are some perfect examples of Gothic architecture. 🕍
What about food?😜 Besides pizza, I've listed a few bars/cafes and restaurants that are pretty cool. Let's take a look!
