🍝 The Real Carbonara



If there’s one dish that never fails to bring comfort, it’s a bowl of pasta alla carbonara, made the traditional Italian way. No cream, no garlic—just a few perfect ingredients creating a creamy, flavorful sauce. Maria insists that the secret is in the guanciale, the way it crisps up and blends with the cheese and egg yolks to make that deliciously rich coating for the pasta. This is the authentic recipe.

🌊 Muggia: Italy’s Quiet Coastal Gem



For those who love exploring off-the-beaten-path spots, Muggia is an absolute gem. This little town sits near the Slovenian border, and its Venetian charm, seaside views, and colorful facades make it feel like a place lost in time. We always love wandering the cobbled streets, and I can never get enough of the beautiful views. It’s the perfect destination if you’re looking to unwind, enjoy a slower pace, and experience a lesser-known side of Italy. Discover Muggia here.

🍷 Osteria ai Scarponi in Padova



When it comes to dining, Osteria ai Scarponi in Padova holds a special place in our hearts. This cozy osteria has been around for generations, serving up authentic dishes that make you feel like part of the family. Next time you are in Padova do visit. Here is all you need to know.
