Italian Kitchen . . .

Italian food is the marriage of the land, her people, and the kitchen – an incredible combination. We are proud to explore and share very special meals in the course of every group exploration with Private Italy. During our stays at villas, clients enjoy dinners prepared by local cooks and chefs – each with a specialty that focuses on local, fresh, and incredibly flavorful meals.

In the course of day trips we stop in trattorias and restaurants known for both the expertise of their chefs as well as the bounty produced in their kitchens.

In Tuscany, fresh olive oil and pastas, sauces created of the freshest tomatoes, the finest beef and pork all come together on evening tables. In Umbria, the produce of the valley and mountains around the province come together as a copious feast in a private home. Restaurants and cafes in Venice provide diners with incredible seafood meals.

On Sicily, from porcini mushrooms (in season) to the bounty of the sea, we provide extraordinary meals, always mindful of the importance of food in the culture of Italy. Along the Amalfi Coast, we enjoy fresh seafood, incredible vegetables and desserts.

As we travel across the southern part of Italy and explore Sicily, the freshest seafood is balanced with home made meats, soups and desserts

. . . and for those clients who may desire a vegetarian experience, our chefs and cooks can accommodate nearly every need.

Food is a very important part of what brings travelers to Italy and we enjoy sharing the abundance of the Italian Kitchen with our clients.
