POPULAR FOOD IN ITALY.

1. Risotto

Though risotto is most popular in the north of Italy, many restaurants in Rome
offer at least one dish of it. To make risotto you start with a short-grain, thick
rice, like carnaroli or arborio, then stir it with butter and a seasonal vegetable
or seafood, gradually adding broth. Risotto con crema di scampi (with cream
and shrimps) is a common and delicious choice in Rome.

2. Cheese Fonduta

Cheese fonduta, a melted cheese dip made of milk, eggs and white truffles
(tartufi bianchi). Fine cheeses include robiola, sheep cheese (tuma, in dialect)
and tumin, a white mountain cheese soaked in red pepper and olive oil sauce.

Cardi alla Bagna Cauda is a dish of locally grown chard served with a warm
sauce of anchovies, garlic and olive oil. Other regional dishes include local
game such as rabbit, and boiled meat dishes like Vitello Tonnato (thinly sliced
veal with a sauce of boiled egg yolk, tuna and capers) and ox tail. Grissini are
thin and crispy breadsticks that have become popular throughout the country
and the world. Piemonte is also home to two types of wild mushrooms prized
the world over: porcini mushrooms and white truffles.

3. Bruschetta

Country bread sliced and topped with different toppings - the evergreen
tomato-basil and an inventive mushroom-garlic.
