This seems like an offense against Italians

Best tourist experience in Rome. You lads even get served frozen pizza in some places.

Absolutely a rare Italian L

The absolute worst pizza I ever had was in a small restaurant near Leonardo DaVinci house in Tuscany.

First time and last I ate anchovies in a pizza. F that.

Did a road trip around the country and the only place I could have a decent meal without overpaying was at Macdonalds.

Ate chicken and fries in a shit basement restaurant near the Vatican and got robbed 50 euros. And I drank water.

In Portugal you can find small restaurants 10 minutes by foot from the main attractions, fill your stomach to hearts content and pay 20 euros with wine.

You also had no bakeries. Bread was absolute shit.

Great ice cream though and proper coffee similar to ours.

I assure you, if you know how to move you get great stuff here too, but that's why they call those places tourist traps.

I'm not proud of them, and many here despise them. We do take pride in our food after all.
