First breakfast from Gusta Bar.

First pizza from Gusta Pizza.

First cannolis.

My team’s charcuterie board from our first cooking class.

Some of the aperitivos the cooking class made.

One of the meals I have cooked (and partially ate). Some chicken and potatoes from the Conad grocery store.

I have loved everything I have tried so far in Italy and all the food is so fresh. One thing that surprised me the most was having to ask and pay for bottles of water. I tried asking for tap water from a few restaurants, but was told that they only serve bottled water. This disappointed me a bit because I drink a lot of water. I have tried two pizza places and the Gusta Pizza was the best. The first place was from the restaurant we were taken to on the first night here as a group and I thought it was okay, but Gusta Pizza is very good.
