We’re revisiting one of our tastiest episodes – Italian food etiquette! In Italy, food is far more than just a meal – it’s a way of life. We explore how to navigate the cultural dos and don’ts of eating in Italy, from market habits and restaurant norms to the different types of dining spots. Learn how to eat like a local and avoid those subtle (or not-so-subtle) raised eyebrows at the table.
Summary
