Italian language classes Manchester: Italian food

0  comments

Italy is famous for its delicious food and, for such a small country, it has an enormous range of dishes and cooking styles that vary from region-to-region. One of the simple pleasures of travelling through Italy is tasting all the different types of cuisine it has to offer.

Eating Al Fresco is our favourite past time!

Outside Italy, many Italian restaurants lack the authenticity that their native counterparts have – coming to Italy and tasting dishes in their region of origin is an experience you just can’t get anywhere else.

Although you could easily become accustomed to Italian food, getting used to mealtime hours may be slightly more difficult for foreigners as lunch and dinner often begin much later than in other countries. The rule of thumb is that the further south you are, the later dinner begins – in the northern parts people sit down to eat as early as 19:30-20:00. Romans traditionally eat no earlier than 20:00, and in Naples or Sicily the standard dining hour is even later, at 21:00.

Most restaurants in Italy serve lunch from 12:30 to 14:30 and open for dinner around 19:00 at the earliest – but if you go at this time, expect all the tables to be occupied by tourists.

This little guide will help you understand the dining customs in Italy and what you will find on the menus, so all you will have left to do is sit back, say ‘buon appetito’, and enjoy!
