Everyone wants to visit Italy! Brent shares some of the best things to eat and drink in Florence, Venice, and the Bay of Naples off the Amalfi Coast. Except these aren’t the typical tourist haunts. There’s a literary cafe in Florence that has finally reopened, islands that are better than Capri, and hunting truffles in Tuscany. Plus dishes like grass pea soup, braised rabbit, and an alternative to Aperol Spritz [Ep 349]
