Everyone knows that although a photo shoot where you are holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa and a gondola ride passed St. Marcs Square are memorable; it is the eating agenda that surpasses all experiences in “Eataly”. Croissants for breakfast, pizza and focaccia sandwiches for lunch, and pasta for dinner- it’s a carb … More 10 Days in Italy: The Real Carb Loading
