Italian food and drink!

Following on from a great thread I read about food and drink in France, that reminded me of all the delicious treats France had to offer. Please can you all share your knowledge of what is good to buy in Italy?

We are currently staying in North Italy for 2 weeks, it's our first time and we would love to make the most of it!

NB We have already stocked up on Aperol! 🍹😁

We had an amazing drink in Italy many years ago. It was like a strawberry liqueur mixed with champagne (or possibly Prosecco). It was called a Fragolini I think.

We have that liqueur in our drinks cabinet - it's called Fragola and is a wild strawberry liqueur. It is indeed very nice in prosecco.

We are working our way through all your recommendations 😋

We took a boat trip up Lake Garda yesterday, stopped at Garda and found a bakery with fresh focaccia pizza and tried yoghurt gelato in Malcesine. Both amazing, thank you.

We have a week left and are definitely open to more suggestions!

Best ice cream is in Sirmione.
We had a crumble cake called Sbriciolata, absolutely gorgeous with strawberries. You can buy it in the bakers. And don't forget the cannoli!

Sorry that should read Sbrisolona
