Our Recommendations:
Cuisine
Pizza… Pasta… Gelato… So many Italian favorites to choose from! But when you head out to the Tuscan countryside, you have to serve Ribollito. Born of a centuries old philosophy to let no leftovers go to waste, the name of this hearty soup means “re-boiled.” It was originally made by placing stale bread into yesterday’s minestrone, now it’s a favorite of Florentine families everywhere.

Drink
Deceptively easy to make and with a refreshing bitterness, the Negroni will lend 100+ years of history to your game night. It was said to be invented by Italian Count Camillo Negroni in Florence. Since then, few cocktails have inspired more creative variations than the Negroni’s 1:1:1 ratio. Find the recipe here.
Music
Italian folk music reflects the rich cultural diversity of Italy, with regional styles like tarantella, pizzica, and Neapolitan songs featuring vibrant rhythms and heartfelt melodies. It often incorporates traditional instruments like the accordion, tambourine, and mandolin, celebrating themes of love, community, and daily life. find it all on our complete playlist here.
