Eggplant Panini with fresh mozzarella and olives baked into the bread. |
Deep fried stuffed olives |
Tortellini alla furba--small stuffed pasta with a cream and ham sauce (and a smiley face for good measure I guess). |
A small snack, burchetta with mozzarella and prosciutto |
Chef's Special--Spaghetti, made with tomatoes (no tomato sauce), topped with ricotta cheese |
One can't go to Italy and not have wine--this was my favorite, a nice sweet (moscato type) flavor |
Carbonara |
Don't know what it was called, had it on our day trip to Orvierto and Assissi--but it was really good. |
Orange Spritz--an alcoholic drink common to Venice (made with prosecco wine, a dash of a bitter liquer, aperol, then topped off with sparking mineral water) |
Coppa Rialto--a dessert in Venice that I had at a restaurant near the Rialto Bridge. It had a couple of small scoops of gelato in it, and lots of fresh fruit! Delicious! |
Peach Bellini--Fantastic!!! I could drink these daily! |
Tiramasu--the real deal |
Best peach iced tea I've ever had--became my drink of choice anytime I could find it. (sadly it doesn't taste the same as the ones in the U.S.) |
Prosciutto & Funghi (mushroom) pizza |
Chicken sandwich--chicken is tenderized and then deep fried, topped with spices and tomato. |
And you can't go wrong with some gelato--almost every day. :-)
And a few foods from Israel......
Shawarma--chicken, veggies, hummus

Falafel in a pita |
Veggie stuffed pita with a tzatziki sauce |
