Italian food features
It is rich and rotten, and is famous for its original flavor. It is famous for its cooking methods such as frying, frying, frying and braising, and likes to use noodles and rice as dishes rather than as main food.

a traditional Italian dinner usually has four or five dishes.
the first course: Antipasto in Italian means "before eating". Fresh beef slices, Italian salad and Italian cheese salad carefully prepared by the executive chef of Wenhui Western Restaurant will definitely give you a big appetite.
the first course mainly refers to Zuppe, spaghetti or Risotto, which is Primo Pratto in Italian. Since there is still a main course after that, the portion will be smaller. In Beijing-Guangzhou Wenhui Western Restaurant, you can choose Italian vegetable soup, crab meat and corn thick soup or pasta, local chicken noodle rolls, beef noodle slices, spaghetti and seafood angel hair. Pasta enjoys a worldwide reputation, so don't miss this delicious pastry.
The second course is the main course
It is the soul of the whole dinner, mainly seafood or meat dishes. Many main dishes are cooked by barbecue or deep frying, and you can eat them with some salt or olive oil on the table at will. The main courses offered by Wenhui Western Restaurant are: fried chicken breast, veal veal, prawns and fried pork chops. Western food pays great attention to desserts, while Italian desserts are excellent. The Italian dessert Dlolce itself means "sweet". Usually after enjoying the main course.
Italian cuisine is the best of all families. Generally speaking, northern Italian cuisine is similar to French cuisine, and cheese and fresh milk are often used. South Italy mostly uses tomatoes and olive oil. Lake Garda is the northern limit of tomato cultivation, and the Phatana Plain in the Po River basin is one of the best beef and dairy cattle producing areas in Italy. Because it is close to France, Switzerland, Austria, Yugoslavia and other countries, Italian food is somewhat influenced by these countries.
Culash, a delicious food in northern Italy, is deeply influenced by Yugoslavia. The apple pie Strudel has the flavor of Germany and Austria, while Cuscusu in South Sicily has the same flavor of Arabia. Understanding Italian food can help us to understand Italian customs, culture and historical background.
Ice cream is an Italian invention
It was improved by a priest in Sicily in the 16th century, and its production technology was perfected. The tradition of making Italian artistic ice cream (Gelato) has also been handed down from generation to generation. To this day, Sicilian ice cream is still considered as the best ice cream in Italy. People who have been to Italy and tasted the Italian ice cream culture are all amazed by its delicious taste and exquisite appearance.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Italian ice cream is a real work of art.. From the production process, a simple formula is the secret weapon to make a pure taste. No matter which ice cream, there will never be any additives in its formula.
Today, when McDonald's fast food culture is popular, while coffee can also be produced by Starbucks assembly line, every kind of Italian ice cream is always hand-made by professional chefs, which shows its extraordinary origin. Italian ice cream won't freeze very hard, its taste is delicate and light as silk, and the romantic feeling is endless. Italy's ice cream can be divided into four categories:
gelato-Italian ice cream, with fresh milk as raw material and various fruits, is the most traditional Italian ice cream.
sorbetto-shaba, pure fresh fruit, without milk. In foreign formal western food, lemon sherbet is provided between each dish, which is used to remove the aftertaste of the previous dish and improve the taste, so as to taste the next dish.
yogurt-cheese is made of fresh yogurt, which is greasy and smooth, and can also help digestion.
Soya Gelato-soybean ice cream was originally created by Sicilian ice cream master Mr.Russo, which contains no cholesterol, sugar and milk. It is the best choice for people who are allergic to milk and want to stay slim.
Italians love coffee
They love the frothy strong coffee, and they also like all kinds of changes. Caffe ristretto, Caffelungo (and alto) are the ones who want to drink stronger coffee than usual. Caffe americano is the American coffee. Caffe americano, who often drinks Galilee wine, is also the coffee after meals. The aroma of strong coffee and rich Lijiu wine can affect the stomach.
it's really refreshing when it's cold. The harmony between coffee Caffe and milk Latte is also unparalleled. First, let's remember the word maechiato. It originally meant "dirty" and "stained". Caffeamericano refers to coffee with a small amount of milk. The difference between Vaffe late and latte macchiato lies in the amount of coffee. I don't know why Latte Machiato is usually poured into a cup and taken out.
