There are lots of good options if, by chance, you need to eat in Italy. ;) You can order pasta, pizza, paninis… lots of good stuff. Now as wonderful as this all is, none of it compares to the faaaaabulous desserts! If you’re looking for gelato, it’s not hard to find. There is gelato on almost every street, and they don’t exactly have a limited supply. You can order three different flavors in one little cup, and often times they top it off with whipped cream. They have every flavor imaginable, you can order your standard chocolate, mint, strawberry… but they also have the most random flavors! They have rice, peach, and Tartuffo (I have no idea what it is but it’s really good) But you can get gelato anywhere. You have to be in Parma to have rose-shaped ice cream! They use these special scoops that make mini bits of ice cream that they put them into a circle and shape it into a rose. It’s pretty awesome. Basically- food in Italy = good.

I love love LOOOOVE gelato! I wish I could ask you to bring me some home, but I know it’d be a melted mess by the time it got to me… Looks like I’ll have to go to Itlay one day, right?

I check your blog a couple of times per day: it’s a good way to live vicariously thru your travels while I slave away here. Enjoying your fun with you helps keep one of those deadly sins at bay: envy. Barely.
Have fun!

Natalie,
I love to read books where people describe what they eat on their travels. There is a possible career for you here! My mouth was watering as I read your blog. I hope you found the famous ice cream/gelato vendor on the Seine. They had flavors we had never heard of. Yummy.
Looking forward to seeing you here at home and hearing more details. :>)
