Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Italy

Italy’s food is built around regional pastas, wood-fired pizza, risotto, cured meats and espresso; simple ingredients treated with reverence. Look for Pizza Margherita (neapolitan wood-fired pizza with tomato, mozzarella, basil), Spaghetti alla carbonara (guanciale, egg, pecorino and black pepper; never cream) and Tiramisu (coffee-soaked savoiardi layered with mascarpone, cocoa). Named after Queen Margherita of Savoy, said to have been served by Raffaele Esposito in Naples in 1889; Neapolitan pizzaiuolo craft is UNESCO listed.
