Italians don't eat to live...Italians live to eat! Once you have a taste of their cuisine, you will know why. Many people mistakenly believe that Italian cuisine consists of only pizza and spaghetti. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Italian cuisine is very varied and very regionalized. That's one of the beautiful things about Italy is that visiting each region is almost like visiting a new country. The cuisine in Bologna (region of Emilia-Romana) is a lot different than what you would find in Sicily.
There are many different types of eating establishments in Italy. I recommend that you try as many as you can.
Meal times are usually around 2PM for lunch and around 8PM for dinner time. Dinner can even start later down south around Naples or Palermo.
A full Italian meal (excluding breakfast) will usually run the gamut from:
* Antipasta – Appetizers
* Primo piatto (First course -usually pasta or rice)
* Secondo piatto (Second course - usually meat, fish or chicken)
* Contorni - Vegetables
* Insalata - Salad
* Dolci - Desserts
