semester in Italy I learned the importance of food and cuisine in Italian culture and society. Italian society is unique in that the cuisine cooked is always in season, using fresh local products and ingredients grown close to home. In today’s society it is extremely important to preserve the tradition of cooking, by preserving the heritage in which the food comes from.

first place I stopped by was an Italian restaurant called Pasta Brioni. Not only did I want to have my fill, but also to get answers on what exactly real food meant to the people in this restaurant.

how big the contrast is? In America, we think of the classic Italian dish to be spaghetti and meatballs, when in fact, that dish does not even exist in Italy.
