Bon Appétit!

Ciao everyone!

I'm sure a lot of you guys, if not all, have eaten Italian food sometime in your life, but for those of you who haven't, this is a MUST READ!

PIZZA & PASTA are my go-to foods, and I want to share some of my favourite places with you (refer to end of blog ;))

Here's a quick history lesson on Italian culture:
Italian culture is deeply grounded in arts, family, architecture and food. Family and food really go hand-in-hand here as family is an extremely important value in the culture. If you have any Italian friends, you've probably noticed they have frequent extended family gatherings and enjoy a good pasta & pizza frenzy ;). Italian cuisine has spread across the globe since the early 1900's and have since well and deeply grounded in almost every city and country in the world.

Pizza in its most basic form is a dough base, fresh toppings, some herbs and a whole lot of cheese! Just to name a few, here are some contemporary popular pizzas: Margherita, Supreme, Garlic prawn!

Pasta comes in a wide range of shapes and sizes, including spaghetti, linguine, penne, rotini and more. You can choose from a tomato (red), cream (white), or neapolitan (pink) base depending on what you're craving!


My favourite Italian restaurant in Sydney is Lucio’s @ 47 Windsor Street, Paddington. It’s rated the number 2 Italian restaurant in Sydney 

Bon Appétit!
