For gourmands, the treasure of Cetara, a small fishing village on the Amalfi Coast, is its "Colatura di Alici": a modern version of the Ancient Roman "Garum", cited in the recipes of Apicio. At Cetara the "colatura" is made exclusively with anchovies caught in the spring, left in salted water for 24 hrs, and transferred into casks where they are pressed between layers of salt. The liquid produced by the process of pressing and fermentation is filtered and placed in glass containers, and exposed to direct sunlight, before being bottled. This ancient elixir is typically used as spaghetti sauce and to add flavor to any number of maritime dishes. Cetara's "colatura di alici" can be purchased in the town's Cetarii shop. Absolutely delicious!!

Restaurant Bar Ucci, Radda in Chianti…
The philosophy behind this bar-cafe is to use good ingredients and a warm welcome to create special moments – and it works. The house salami is made by the owner's father, dishes range from simple crostoni, pasta and bruschettas to rich wild-boar stew, and Volpaia's Chianti Classico and Riserva can be ordered by the glass.
Excellent service and fantastic traditional Tuscan food….
A must try!

Restaurant Osteria del 36, Parma..
Behind an unassuming storefront on the corner of Borgo Retto and Str. Aurelio Saffi, Osteria del 36 is a fabulous find, with an attentive staff, an extensive menu of local specialties (a highlight is the tortellini di nocciola), and affordable pricing. The restaurant serves its courses in a cozy, inviting dining room and it is also an ideal location for families, as it offers a children’s menu.
All products are cooked directly without the use of frozen products, the pastas and all the desserts are homemade. Simply delicious!
