Italian Food Tour
I love Italian food! My favorite dessert of all time is Tiramisu. I could eat pizza and pasta everyday, three times a day, forever. Italy was a dream come true for me. If you love to eat read on for recommendations on some of the best food I’ve ever had. Lets start from the beginning. My very first Italian pizza was actually at the airport in Rome.

Havana
If you’re heading to Havana make sure you read my previous post about things to do before you travel. We booked an Airbnb that had stunning views of the city. Carmen was an amazing host and she also helped with transportation and recommendations on sights to see. For $6 a day she also provided us with this delicious breakfast spread.

If you want to be closer to the night life I would recommend staying in Old Havana. Top Spots to Visit Fabrica…
