Italy expert and foodie Monica Cesarato joins the podcast to talk about the best day trips from Venice. We explore historic Treviso’s local risotto dish. Then, there’s Padua with its amazing sites and the famous Gallina Padovana dish. And, why there’s so much more to Verona than Romeo and Juliet. Plus, I attempt to get redemption for my tiramisu recipe (hint: it doesn’t go well) [Ep 408]
Toni Mazzaglia is the founder of Taste Florence food tours and she’s back on the podcast to talk about the best day trips from Florence. There’s Lucca and its stunning Medieval walls and a dish called the Pie with the Beaks. And, Pisa where there’s so much more than the leaning tower. Then, Toni and I talk about our favorites in Bologna. Plus, the hilarious rivalry between Pisa and Florence and why Italy stopped producing beer. [Ep 391]
