Podsumowanie

Włoskie jedzenie w Warszawie oferuje autentyczną podróż kulinarną przez Bel Paese - od neapolitańskiej pizzy z pieca na drewno, przez rzymską carbonarę, po sycylijskie cannoli. Kluczem do znalezienia prawdziwego włoskiego jedzenia jest szukanie prostoty, jakości składników i pasji w przygotowaniu.

Unikaj miejsc oferujących "wszystko dla wszystkich" - prawdziwe włoskie lokale specjalizują się w konkretnych regionach czy daniach. Szukaj włoskich właścicieli lub szefów, certyfikatów DOP, pieców na drewno i krótkiego sezonowego menu.

Pamiętaj fundamenty: pasta al dente, pizza w 90 sekund, carbonara bez śmietany, cappuccino tylko rano, i zawsze - ZAWSZE - espresso po obiedzie, nie cappuccino!

Buon appetito e cin cin!
