24 Mar 2019admin I got tanned (or raccoon eyed) eating under a blazing sun today. I’m always impressed by the level of Italian hospitality. They warned us about how long the food would take, they just got a full house, we said that was okay. They hustled, and once the rush passed, every server stoped by with an apology for the wait. Impossible to imagine at a Time Square restaurant. Also, another fish, another table side service. Looking forward to one last Caccio e Pepe tomorrow. #italy #como #bellagio #lakecomo #tablesideservice #wholefish #pastaeveryday #italianfood #lombardia #foodporn #fish #foodporn #travelbysung #trout #lakefish #italianhospitality #amazingserviceeverywhere
24 Mar 2019admin Our favorite trippa alla Fiorentina was from #TrattoriaMario. I don’t know where it comes from, but the tripe was lined with extremely tender thin piece of meat. Overall they tend to push seasoning more than other Florentine restaurants we’ve been to. #trippa #florence #firenze #italy #localfood #homestylefood #offal #slowandlow #oldschool #tuscany #nosetotail #trippaallafiorentina #foodporn #meatporn #travelbysung #pastaeveryday #italiancuisine
23 Mar 2019admin Our last meal in Florence was offal all the way. This place specializes in all things tripe and beyond. In fact, we had 3 different Trippa alla Florentina in Florence, and theirs came in the middle. #nosetotail #tripe #trippa #trippaallafiorentina #beef #italianbeef #meatporn #offalcooking #offal #notfastfood #skillfulcook #travelbysung #foodporn #ravioli #pasta #pastaeveryday #tongue #tonguecarpacchio #travelbysung #florence #italy #firenze #redsauce #tomatosauce #foodporn #toscana #tuscany #slowfood #lombardia
23 Mar 2019admin Como is a lake side holiday destination, but just like any inland in Italy, exceptionally fresh seafood is always available. Besides the raw shellfish from this part of the world we wouldn’t be able to taste in the US or Korea, I was happy to have my parents to taste a whole roasted turbot, served table side. “A flavor of fish we’ve never had before”. #Como #italy #lakecomo #italianseafood #turbo #shellfish #pastaeveryday #pastavongole #lombardia #travelbysung #foodporn #seafoodporn #instafood #sogood #tablesideservice #shellfishplatter
21 Mar 2019admin If you know me, I would rather have another glass of wine than a dessert. Yet in Italy, we’ve been having a daily dose of gelato, because apparently, my dad loves ice cream so much. This is one of our top 3 favorites -so far. When in Italy. #gelato #dessert #alwayssayyes #dadsfavorite #cremerialavecchiastalla #chocolate #mascapone #travelbysung #bologna #italy #fingerfood #alwaysonacone #dessertporn #sweets
18 Mar 2019admin I love coming across a place like this, and immediately wished I found this earlier. This local, super fast, cheap, comforting, and hospitable place on this rainy day was something I’ll want to recreate in NYC. #trattorialemossacce #italy #comfortfood #travelingchef #cityofrenaissance #firenze #travelbysung #florence #localfood #tuscanfood #toscana #housewine #pasta #ossobucco #lasagna #trippa #meaty #pastaporn #wheninflorence #foodporn #pastaeveryday
17 Mar 2019admin This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind for a steak meal in Florence; an Americanized steakhouse full of tourists in the middle of city center. But traveling with my elderly parents comes with compromises. They loved their first burrata. The cast iron pan allowed to cook the steak further to the way Mom likes, and that made her happy. It’s a perfect package. That’s what hospitality is all about. #florence #italy #steakhouse #porterhouse #steak #italianbeef #beef #meatporn #foodporn #travelbysung #firenze #cityofrenaissance
17 Mar 2019admin Florence, first day. A bit of a culture shock coming from laid back Sicily, into this ultra Renaissance city with high fashion labels everywhere.. (okay, it does feel a bit like a huge shopping mall decorated with insane monuments) Looking forward to soaking up art museums all day for the next couple days. I maybe a “retired artist”, but I’m still in love with art. #florence #firenze #italy #travelbysung #northernitaly #cityofrenaissance #tripofalifetime #travelporn #pontevecchio
15 Mar 2019admin The best thing about going to new places is experiencing the local markets. Mercato del Capo is one of the busiest ones full of fresh ingredients and street foods. Mornings are always the best time. #palermo #sicily #italy #mercatodelcapo #mercato #market #travelbysung #fishmarket #producemarket #fresh #eatfresh #willtravelformarket #foodporn #instafood #travelingchef #offalsammy #streetfood #marketfood
13 Mar 2019admin Sometimes the best version of a dish is found in the most unexpected off the beaten path. A quick stop over in Caserta, on the way to Sorrento ended up having the best spaghetti alla vongole I’ve had. What appears to be simple is often the most difficult to achieve, focusing on best way to highlight the ingredients. What I love most about Italian cuisine. #italy #italianfood #vongole #pastavongole #spaghetti #pasta #caserta #travelbysung #foodporn #travelingchef #chefslife #foodresearch #pastaeveryday
