Instagram post 2154314028687174969_214460766 We talk a lotta meat talk about our walking food tours in Italy- but we do have plenty to offer vegetarian travelers- fear not! I personally spent 8 years eating vegetarian (some of those vegan!) + fortunate in having a super considerate team- we do our best to cater to a variety of dietary lifestyles. These are ricotta and spinach filled tortelloni freshly made from our Bologna #lagrassatour- just one of the naturally veg traditional tasting options available! For further curiosity if we can adapt to your tastes, feel free to write us a note via link in bio. Buon lunedì a tutti! 🍝#curiousappetite #foodtours 🇮🇹
Instagram post 2152534315396372318_214460766 If you’re coming to Bologna for the pasta (and not only) stay for the drinks- la grassa has a thing for craft cocktails too! The travel tips section of curiousappetitetravel.com has you covered for personal favorite drinking holes as well as info on this year’s @bolognacocktailweek from October 14th-20th. My favorite spot on the list is not really a cocktail bar but an amari-full Italian bar and it is one of the best places on earth for a slew of reasons: soul and personality, what real Italian bars should be like (to hell with hipster/gentrified imitations), an insane selection of national amari and tunes opposite of garbage top 40 hits (if someone would pay me to write a non-fluff/tirade piece about the terrible foreign music played in locales around Italy when Italy has a treasure chest of local artists both past and present I would feel so seen) Soapbox done, time for a drink- buon weekend a tutti! #curiousappetite #bolognaitaly #BoCW

Instagram post 2150290045532724106_214460766 Remembering when last past September when we were yodeling, picnicking and grape plucking in Northern Italian mountain vineyards. Missin’ last month’s time in Trento DOC with @ferraritrento and the talented industry folks I was charmed to meet along the way- can we kindly rewind? @elonrmuskk where you at with a #timemachine already 🍾🇮🇹🥂#curiousappetite #trentodoc
Instagram post 2149558408347945331_214460766 Tuscan schiacciata 2-way (all’uva 🍇 + all’olive oil) giving Ligurian focaccia a run for its dough and in-house baked croccante cracker thrown in for safe measure...rustic carb loading on our Food Lover’s Tour in Florence at one of our favorite bakeries hidden in the historical center. Come break bread with us! Tickets + info via link in bio or e-mail our team bookings@curiousappetitetravel.com...buon appetito! 🍞🍇🍴#curiousappetite #foodtours
Instagram post 2149178527149383491_214460766 The question which frightened me the most when deliberating whether or not to give San Francisco a go was: would I be able to live without the Sant’Ambrogio market in Florence? The answer is no, I sincerely cannot and I miss it every day away. But that’s okay. However, today’s perusal at my neighborhood Sunday farmer’s market strung my heart strings - enamored with the bit of produce diversity one can have access to and at rather honest prices. Curiously, I picked up some Indian and Chinese bitter melon (suggestions on what to do these welcome) and Opo squash, and while overhearing a local band strumming at their own strings under bright sunny blue skies- I realized I’m exactly where I need to be right now, with or without Sant’Ambrogio. Hope you all enjoyed this weekend- wherever in the world you may be! 🍆🥒#curiousappetite #sanfrancisco

More peeks in stories and highlights via profile. Buona pasta weekend a tutti! 🍝🍴#curiousappetite #bolognaitaly Photo by @ciaochristy (Italy misses you! 😘)

Instagram post 2143835864731046359_214460766 Back to leading Italian wine tasting lessons in San Francisco- 1.5-2hr educational tastings I procure personally at a wine studio in North Beach. The (small-group) experience involves a handful of Italian wines from North to South with artisanal cheese pairings and guided explanations of all by yours truly, certified Italian-trained sommelier (essentially an Italian speaking wino!) I’ve designed this for small groups up to 8 (friends, traveling family groups, private lessons, etc) or for teambuilding off-site events (flexible size for business groups/up to 20). Curious about arranging an Italian-themed food and wine experience with me in San Francisco? Contact via link in bio or email directly via curiousappetitetravel.com Salute! 🥂🇮🇹🇺🇸🧀#curiousappetite #winesessions
