Beyond the country\u2019s borders, Italian food is often lumped into the pizza\/pasta category; however, it offers so much more. What many don\u2019t realise is that the food in Italy is exceptionally regional. Strongly influenced by local history, age-old traditions as well as the seasonality of produce, each region delivers its own specialities.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To add to the diversity, these regional differences in cuisine are often influenced by climate as well as geographical and economical factors, such as the presence of nobility. When you take a deeper look into Italy\u2019s history, only having become a unified nation in 1861, as well as the long, narrow shape of the country sandwiched by the seas with mountain ranges in the north; it is hardly surprising that such diversity has made its mark on the menu.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In order to try the regional specialities and finest seasonal delicacies of every region, you\u2019d need several lifetimes touring Italy (one can only dream). With limited space in our stomachs, the seemingly infinite amount of \u2018must-try Italy foods\u2019 could make one panic at the thought of deciding which Italian dishes to prioritise. That\u2019s where this guide comes in handy.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
