We all know that Italy is a food-lover’s paradise — a place to eat until you can’t button your pants (like Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love). The most important question when planning a trip to this boot-shaped, carb-loving country may well be Do you prefer pizza or pasta? But maybe you’ve done it all — pizza in Naples, Chianti in Tuscany, carbonara in Rome, and cannoli in Sicily — and are looking for a trip unlike any you’ve had before.
