Italian Food and Culture Surprises

Anyone else stunned they lived their entire childhood without Italian gelato?! Don’t mind me out here making up for the decades I missed 😂‼️ In all seriousness, here are 5 things to expect when eating out in Italy: 1. You can get a jug of (nice) wine for the same price as water! 2. You should never put Parmesan on seafood, unless you don’t mind some very dirty looks! 3. Most places will serve you an entire pizza with a knife and fork to cut it yourself 😱 4. Going for a daily gelato is quite normal in the summertime 5. You can pretty much order a spritz any time until sunset. After sunset it’s considered a bit strange, but not 11:00 AM — nope that’s totally normal 🤷‍♀️ Gosh I love Italy! What did I miss?! What’s been your most surprised travel/ food experience? Can’t wait to hear it 👇 ____
