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 🇮🇹

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

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

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
