Delicious, delicious ice creams.

Artisanal producer of liqueurs based on limone Costa d'Amalfi PGI, the lemon harvested on the Amalfi coast, which enjoys a protected designation. You can of course buy limoncello, but also crema di limone, which is smoother, and babà au limoncello. Also liqueurs based on other fruits (strawberry, melon...). The production site is directly behind the tiny shop, so the smell is extremely pleasant. Ideal to bring back a gift or a souvenir of your trip to the Amalfi Coast.

The island of Elba is famous for its desserts. To taste absolutely: La briaca, le and cantucci, especially if you go to the Capoliveri area, where one of the most famous producers on the island is located. Elba Magna with sweets according to old recipes (great research work was provided), with the will to continue to make tradition. Do not hesitate, this little grocery store does not pay a mine, but it is the only place on the island where you find such a typical choice of products!

In the heart of the Brera district, a small gelateria offering a selection of excellent fragrances, all of which are strictly artisanal production.

Eating and shopping is the winning concept of the culinary chain, which opened its first store in Turin, in the former Carpano vermouth factory. Truffles, chocolate, barolo, oil, wine, bread... the best of regional gourmet products, often in season, can be found here on more than 11,000^m2. You can taste tasty menus on the spot, without forgetting to visit the wine cellar - with more than 35,000 bottles, it is the largest in the city - and the museum upstairs. Workshops, seminars and activities are also organized.

Just a stone's throw from the Trevi Fountain, a very good gelateria that competes fiercely with the historic Giolitti in the Pantheon. And with good reason: the ice creams here are also very good, all homemade, with unusual tastes and carefully selected quality ingredients (Sardinian honey, Amalfi lemon, fresh walnuts...). Gelati to discover. Another address in Rome's Prati district, via Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli, 43.

An excellent gelateria with an elegant front and gourmet flavours, from the great classics to original combinations such as "Benvenuti al Sud" ice cream with almonds, pistachios and blood orange. The house favours ingredients and products from the Campania region: lemons from Sorrento, apricots from Vesuvius, figs from Cilento... In short, taste and quality. Those who are not afraid of excesses will, on the other hand, fall back on the babà, served in large cups with layers of cream and syrup!

Buy the very best in Italian gastronomy, take part in a cooking class, taste a dish of Gragnano "al dente" pasta or Piedmontese meat from La Granda: this temple to gastronomy is now well known and recognized, offering a selection of the very best regional Italian products. In the historic Teatro Smeraldo building, Eataly Milano occupies over 5,000 m² with its restaurants and shows (on Fridays at 7 p.m., a stand-up show and aperitif). An address for gourmets and lovers of good food.

This family business, located in the heart of a vineyard, has been producing traditional balsamic vinegar for several generations. Visits allow to discover the production, to test different balsamics (even 100 years old!) and to buy some products on the spot: balsamic creams, olive oil, balsamic condiment flavoured with truffle, pear, passion fruit, etc. L'acetaia also organizes visits followed by a meal at the estate and cooking classes to learn how to prepare traditional tortelloni.

A large covered market whose stalls are full of fruits, vegetables, flowers and good products. 

You only have to look at the number of points of sale to understand that Gay-Odin is by far the leading chocolate factory in Naples. If he was born in Piedmont, Isodore Odin was the first to open a chocolate factory in his adopted city, in 1894. He named the shop after his wife's first name, Gay, and it was an immediate success thanks to the quality of its sweets. His success was due to three innovations: the Russian blue colour of the packaging, his delicious foresta chocolates (which we recommend) and the nudi. An institution not to be missed under any circumstances.

In Sorrento, Antonio Cafiero is a true institution of extreme pastry: he boasts several appearances in the Guinness Book of Records, with the largest cup of coffee ever filled, or a 200 kg chocolate bathtub where personalities from the Italian TV screen have dived. The walls of the interior room are lined with photos of celebrities who have passed through here, from Roberto Benigni to the Pope. The choice of ice cream flavours is equally vast and each product is handcrafted by the Cafiero family in the on-site workshop.
