Must-Try Foodie Experiences For Your Italy Vacation

Updated: Nov 21

Bucket List Alert: Italy's Mouthwatering Delights Await!


Let’s get right to it. Mangia Bene—Eat Well! This might be the understatement of the century when you’re in Italy.


Whether you're rolling through the Tuscan hills or chillin' by the Sicilian coast, TravelProJohn will hook you up with some truly unforgettable eats across the boot-shaped paradise.


Rome: Land of Eats & Old Stones (Your Italy Vacation MUST Stop Here!)


Gorgeous Trevi Fountain

Got your spoon packed? Great, because a Roman food stroll is the only way to kickstart your trip.


Rome’s got pretty convenient flights from the U.S., and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a noodle fest in an ancient city?


Trastevere Evening Food Stroll


Trastevere is Rome’s cute bohemian neighbor. Imagine ivy-covered walls and cobblestones—a perfect backdrop to munch your way through bakeries, delis, and wine bars.


Top it off with a dinner in a classic trattoria and some gelato that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about ice cream.


Amazing Restaurants on every corner!

Cook & Dine Like the Pope (Sort Of)


How about slinging pasta like a pro on the Pope's farm?


Yes, it's a thing!


After a VIP-style tour of Castel Gandolfo’s Papal Palace, roll up your sleeves, sip prosecco, and cook up a storm.


A scenic drive and a visit to ancient ruins later, you’ll be back in Rome, stuffed and culturally enriched.





Italian Countryside

North, South, East… Italy's Bringing the Flavor


Campania: Where Cheese Meets Coast


Hike to the hills of Piano di Sorrento and get intimate with mozzarella at a local farm.


Meet the cows, wander the fields, and get hands-on with the cheese. Your taste buds will thank you!


Naples: Gritty & Amazing Food!

Naples: The OG Pizza Party


Naples is street food central—step into narrow lanes and let your taste buds run wild.


Dive into delicious folded pizza, fried goodies galore, and meatballs smothered in tomato sauce. Each stop is a new flavor adventure!


Sicily is where it's at!

Sicily: The Land of Foodie Dreams


Taormina: Market & Culinary Mash-up


Start at Porta Messina for a food market tour and nibble on local salami and cheese.


Roll pasta, sip coffee, and embrace your inner chef for a Sicilian feast. You might leave with an apron and a happy belly!



Always time for wine

Vino Lovers Unite at Mount Etna


Walk through Taormina, soak up the views of Mount Etna, and fall head over heels for Sicilian wine and food.

Kick back in trattorias while learning the secrets of Sicilian wine—it’s a love affair you won’t regret.


Up North to Tuscany and Beyond...


Tuscany: Wine & Dine Delight


Tenuta Torciano opens its arms and its wine cellars to you.


Sample delights by the fireplace, then spend days at Villa Casagrande whipping up Tuscan meals and savoring wine. Don’t forget to stop by Momma Anna for a warm Italian farewell!


Olive Oil Tasting at I Bonsi Castle


Explore where olives are the VIPs. Watch how golden goodness is made—from age-old mills to cutting-edge techniques—and treat your palate to the bounty of Tuscany.


Venice canals and food you won't forget!

Veneto: Sip & Snack in Venice


Venice isn’t just for gondolas, it’s for grubbing.


Join a Bacaro walking tour, taste local wines, and snacks called cicchetti in cozy bars. Embrace the spritz and slice of life, Venice style.


The Last Bite in Lombardy: Milan to Como


In Milan, it's pizza and gelato making time at a trendy studio! Master dough twirling and ice cream magic, and yes, you'll leave with your head held high and a full Recipe Booklet.


Lake Como doesn't disappoint

Wrapping up at Lake Como


For a more intimate taste, tour Como and dig into polenta, crispy cheese pancakes, and woodland nourished meaty treats—it's a word-of-mouth foodie gem tour guided by locals.






So next time you whip up your spaghetti or sip a Chianti, think big! Plan that Italy Vacation culinary escapade—everyone to the table to eat, or as the cool Italians say, "Tutti a Tavola a Mangiare!" 🇮🇹
