[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food in Italy is way overrated.  Everyone raves about how great it is.  Its fine and even good, but not particularly special.[/quote]

Blasphemy. Stand there in your wrongness and be wrong.[/quote]

DP. I think it is VERY easy to have mediocre meals in Italy. It is not just the touristy areas- just like here, some restaurants are better than others. I think people make the mistake of not ordering a region’s specialty and are disappointed. As an Italian-American with a palate blown out from Western excess and spices, I found many dishes bland.[/quote]

DP that posted above about squid ink pasta…it is very easy to find poor food in Italy if you just walk into any joint.  It’s the equivalent of walking into a random restaurant in the US and being annoyed it was bad when you chose Taco Bell.

I am a food person, and spend about as much time planning my food journey as my sightseeing.

Yes, I’m fat but I am a darn good cook and Italy has plenty of terrific food.[/quote]

Different strokes . . . when I went to Italy, I planned out every meal.  We had some good ones but found the food overall to be underwhelming.  With the exception of the gelato.  That was wonderful.[/quote]
