LA CIVETTA March 2017 | Page 67

Frutta e Verdura

There is a huge variety of fruit available

Seasonal fruit and veg is preferred, unlike in the UK

It’s an easy way of getting vitamins and nutrients

Vegetables are usually served as a side dish in Italy and are therefore more expensive

Pizza

Pizza is sold either by the slice or as a whole pizza

You must be careful when choosing where you buy your pizza or you may end up with bad quality

It is sometimes served rolled into wraps or even folded into sandwiches

Pizzerias almost always use fresh oregano which lifts the flavour of every pizza

Bevande

White wine perfectly compliments the fish dishes served in Venice

Venetians are proud of their wine, and it is therefore usually affordable and the quality is normally very good

Beer is sometimes as cheap as 60c

Aperol spritz and bellinis are often served in touristy areas, however they are delicious

Limoncello and grappa are also drinks which are enjoyed in this area of Italy
