Italy is at the top Italy's cuisine is ranked Nr. 1 in the world. I took a trip to Italy to find out just how good the food is. Is it better than Chinese food?
No. 0 city: Munich
Roasted Pork Knuckle with Potato Dumplings
German Sausage with French Fries
Ice Cream with three flavors
German pork knuckle is crispy on the outside and has the texture of Chinese fried pork. The sausage was too salty, but the chips were delicious. The ice cream was plain and not as good as Italian gelato.
I've been in Munich for over six months and this is the first time I've had a big knuckle of pork. It had a good flavour, not inedible.
No. 1 city: Milan
Day one
Pasta(Spaghetti) with Shrimp and Aloe Vera
This pasta was my favorite dish on my trip to Italy.
Mussels and Clams
I had mussels for the first time.
Yogurt Smoothie
This smoothie is very unctuous.
Day two
Fried Pork Cutlet
The pork chops were salty and tough. It was unappetising and not recommended. Because we said it was not tasty, the restaurant deducted 5 euros from our bill.
Saffron Risotto
Saffron Risotto was awful and highly unrecommended.
Baked Seafood Pasta
The seafood was not as fresh and flavorful as it was on the first night.
We ate gelato for the first time in our lives and went to a Chinese-owned Italian restaurant in Milan. At first we were sceptical that the restaurant would not be authentic, but then our doubts became superfluous, the flavours were delicious and the owner was very friendly. In the end, looking back and evaluating the food, this restaurant's dishes were the most in line with my personal tastes. There are not many tourist attractions in Milan and not much to eat, so you don't have to stay too long.
No. 2 city: Venice
Mixed Fried Seafood
Tiramisu
Italian Custard Tart
Seafood Ravioli
I had a hard time with cocktail and never wanted to drink again.
The food in the city of Venice is the least recommended in our opinion. The dishes are rather homogenous. None of the above food was good.
No.3 city: Florence
Margherita Pizza from Naples
T-Bone Steak
The most delicious T bone steak I have eten.
Braised Beef
Sliced Beef
Fried Beef Cutlet
No.4 city: Rome
Spaghetti with Clams
This pasta has become a favorite of mine.
Sirloin Steak
Seafood Pasta
Pizza al Taglio
These pizzas are very oily and salty.
Seafood Soup
While I still think Chinese cuisine is more diverse and flavorful overall, I did find several Italian dishes that I genuinely enjoyed. Compared to Germany, Italian food offers far more variety, freshness, and regional character. In fact, among all the countries I’ve visited in Europe, Italy’s cuisine easily ranks number one—it’s not even a question.
