An Affordable Trip to Italy, without the plane ride!

Thinking about gifting your significant other a romantic trip to Italy? On second thought, the pocket book is looking a little sparse and plane tickets to Italy aren’t exactly in your current budget. Well, what better way to say, “Ti amo” than to create a five course culinary tour of Italy right in your own home. Start off with an antipasto of bruschetta or crostini from Tuscany. For the primo piatto, how about a Pasta alla Amatriciana from Lazio or a Risotto alla Milanese from Lombardia. For the secondo piatto, try Saltimbocca di pesce spada from Rome. For the formaggio, choose a selection of cheeses from Southern and Northern Italy. For the Dolce, try your hand at making a delicious Tiramisu which has been claimed by many regions as their own! Finally, there’s no better way to end a romantic culinary tour of Italy than with a strong cup of espresso. Okay, so it’s not exactly the same as cruising down the Riviera or taking a nice little stroll around St. Mark’s Square but it’s a darn good substitute for now.
