Polenta
You can’t escape it, as it’s literally everywhere, alongside pasta
It's maize, an ingredient that we aren’t used to
in Britain but which is often used in other cultures
It’s great as it is both nutritious and traditional
Gelato
It comes in all sorts of flavours
Traditional is recommended
Nut gelato is a speciality
Sometimes made using award winning chocolate
Pesce
When you’re staying/ living close to the sea,
you are guaranteed to be served quality fish
Favourites include muscle spaghetti, clam and white wine spaghetti, salmon gnocchi and also seppia and octopus
