The Italian Kitchen

Vineyards of Barolo
When you think of soul-satisfyingly good food, you think of Italy. Bowls of heaping semolina pasta as yellow as the sun. Seafood right off the hook, grilled and seasoned to perfection. Vegetables plucked from the earth just moments before they grace your plate, tasting of nothing more than sunshine and happiness. Wine, ever flowing, rich and robust. In each Italian home, you’ll find Nonna, an Italian grandmother, ever so carefully nurturing tonight’s dish on the stove. The same worn pot that has spent ages on that same burner, preparing that same dish, carefully crafting its simple ingredients into perfection on a plate.
Discover The Italian Kitchen, and take a journey from farm to table in the Piedmont and Emilia Romagna regions of Italy. In a country where food is royalty, these regions are king. Piedmont, known as the home of the Slow Food Movement, can, in many ways, be considered the gastronomic capital of Italy. From the frenzy of white truffle season, to the majestic grapes that are aged into the Barolos and Barbarescos, Piedmont will undoubtedly have you clearing your plate and asking for seconds. We will be sure to visit the town of Alba, known as the center for white truffles.
The Emilia Romagna region, in the fertile Po River valley, boasts culinary powerhouses such as Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar di Modena. From leisurely mornings spent sampling our way among the farmer’s market food stalls to that last toast of vino before we say “Ciao,” and retire for the evening, loosen your belt buckle and join us as we explore the gastronomic masterpieces of The Italian Kitchen.
