JFC foodies, this one's for you.
Milan isn't the first city most people think of when considering regional Italian cuisine. But those folks are missing out, because Milanese food is totally unforgettable—especially if you're a meat lover. We're talking flavorful, hearty dishes like ossobuco and cotoletta that fill your stomach and keep you warm during the chilly northern winter. Plus, you've got an iconic cheese town right down the road.
Bologna, on the other hand, is one of the first foodie havens you'll think of. Nicknamed the "Fat City," it's the birthplace of tortellini, ragù (aka Bolognese sauce), and other iconic fare. Bologna is also the best place to find the true heavy hitter of Italian cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano. Oh, and did we mention they have the world's only food theme park?
Last, but certainly not least, there's Rome. You can find pretty much any flavor of Italian food in the capital, but it's most famous as a pasta paradise. Seriously, don't leave town without trying local pasta specialties like cacio e pepe and carbonara! You can finish your food tour with some traditional Roman-style pizza—thin crust, naturally.
Just make sure you leave room for dessert :-)
