The door most people walk through first. Everything here is example material — the kitchens, farms and cellars are supposed to publish their own pages.

Inside a small osteria in Campania, wooden tables set for guests.

Restaurants

Everywhere, but not the same everywhere

A trattoria is not a small restaurant; it is somebody's kitchen with a licence. The menu is short because the kitchen is, and the dish you are served on Tuesday may not exist on Thursday.

An avenue of olive trees in the Puglian countryside.

Producers

Puglia · and eleven other regions

Puglia grows more olives than any other Italian region, and much of the oil is still pressed by families who have worked the same groves for generations. Parmigiano and Parma ham are the same story further north: a place, a method, a name.

Fresh fish laid out on ice at a market counter.

Markets

Sicily · Campania · every town on a Tuesday

The market is the first room of the Italian kitchen: what the boats and the trucks brought in decides what the restaurants can cook tonight. Go early and the menu writes itself.

Rows of vines on a hillside near Siena.

Wineries

Tuscany · Piedmont · Veneto

Chianti, Barolo and Prosecco are not only wines but named places: a hill, a village, a slope with the right exposure. The vineyard is the label, which is why the same grape tastes different one valley over.
