Today, on request of my friends Kusuriurisan, Ivailo SM, Eleanor Norton and Dio Hostilian I have made a list of italian typical recipes that I personally love.
One thing to note, I am from Cantù in Como's province (Lombardy) so the majority of these recipes are from northern Italy. There are still a lot of foods from other regions.
Now will follow some photos of where I live and all the foods that I decided to put in here. Trust me there are A LOT of others awesome typical foods that deserve to be in this article but I've choosen to start with these.
Piazza Garibaldi, Cantù. this is the town where I live.
Piazza Garibaldi from the San Paolo's church prospective.
Como, the closest biggest City. Where I usually go to discos, to make trips and for shopping.
NOW MY FAVORITE FOODS
Pizzoccheri, the best food ever created on earth.
Risotto alle Fragole, my first favorite rice based recipe.
Sbrisolona, tipical dessert from where I live.
Cannolo Siciliano, my favourite dessert, it's from Sicily.
NOW SOME OTHER AWESOME FOODS I LIKE
Pollo ripieno con salsiccia e castagne, one of my Father's best recipes.
Pasta al salmone, my favorite fish and pasta recipe.
Fiorentina, very famous meat from Firenze in Tuscany.
Pasta alla norma, one reason to visit Palermo in Sicily.
Pesce spada alla griglia, typical of southern Italy.
Tagliatelle ai funghi porcini, a classic from the mountains.
Polenta e brasato, a classic from my mountains.
Risotto pere e taleggio, my second favorite rice based recipe.
NOW SOME SWEETS AND DESSERTS
Cantucci, biscuits like from Tuscany.
Pandoro, typical dessert during Christmas from Verona.
Panettone, the Pandoro's counterpart from Milano.
Cassata, with all its variants from southern Italy.
Tiramisù, everyone knows it, from north-eastern Italy.
Babà, typical of Napoli.
Panna cotta, from Piedmont.
Torrone, typical of all italian regions.
Granita, especially the one made in Sicily (to the left the Brioche col tuppo).
Gelato, the iconic sweet, especially during summer.
In Cantù, where I live, there's the second best "gelateria" of Italy, obviously of the globe too... so, if you want, come here and have an Ice cream with me o/.
It is called NONNA PAPERA.

Comments
I have had Sbrisolona before. Though over here we likely call it something else.
where are you from? in RL I mean.
Maryland and Baltimore City has some Italian influences. As a Child I was served Pasta several times if not weekly.
I'd like to visit USA, I have a friend from Sacramento, he's italo-american and he went back to US last year... the problem for me is the price :/ several hundred euros just to get to New York
NON HO CAPITO SEI LODIGIANO?????
se dicevi varesotto venivo a prenderti a casa, con lodigiano ti sparo da lontano. ahahahaghah
ahahahahah lo sapevo
siamo vicini...Vigevano 🙂
I like the sound of Pizzoccheri. Is it okay if I make it with tagliatelle or some other similar type of pasta (hopefully with buckweat, I know I've seen such pasta in shops), since I am not really a huge fan of actually making pasta from scratch? And I know I'll definitely make this soon, it sounds very delicious.
yeah that looks tasty, but so do so many entrees
pizzoccheri is the name of that type of pasta, they're grey because you use "grano saraceno" to make them... you can use more classic type of pasta with potatoes, cheese, butter and so on but they wont be the same. that type of pasta makes the difference.
Well, then, I'll make sure to find me some buckweat (= grano saraceno = heljda in Serbian) pasta and try this out 🙂
Grazie!
prego o7 😁
Mmmm..

Cuantos sabores!!
Votado!
Li ho provati quasi tutti, alcuni ancora mi mancano... prendo nota grazie a 'sta tua guida 😉
Bene, adesso ho fame. Però a mezzanotte potrebbe essere un problema.
Love can deceive
Burrata never...
I want Cannolo every morning *sigh*
...... if you love it has much as I do never, I say NEVER go to Sicily... there's a place where they make the best one... is as big as a chiwawa :Q_____ I cried when I got one, my life is complete now.
I'm just back from Sicily : D
uuuh we got a lucky one here, If you also made a trip on a sailing ship I'm gonna find you ahahaha
nope ; plane, car, feet x)
next time come to Como's lake and we'll have a coffee by the lakeside 😁
one day my friend, one day,...
(I should have gone to Lugano last autumn but was cancelled 🙁)
very good
Si maaaaaaaa... Il ragú?!
anche la carbonara, pesto e amatriciana le ho lasciate fuori. Ho preferito prendere cose che all'estero sono meno conosciute, tranne gelato e tiramisù
Sei perdonato allora
Cassata è solo SICILIANA. 🙂
Un milione di calorie.
Ma voglio anche la polenta fritta e con la salsiccia.
Per non parlare della invia e della usei
Gnocchi alla sorrentina.
Meno male che è mattina, se lo leggevo a pranzo svenivo.
Italia terra del buon cibo.
Mazza che fame.... ed è solo mattina
Wow...son stato sabato a Como per lavoro, mai stato….bel posto 😁
Magari un giorno organizzeremo un piccolo ritrovo per berci un caffè o mangiare al ristorante.
Però io abito a quasi 300 km da Como 😛 ma mai dire mai 😃
Carbonara , amatriciana o gricia come pasta per il lazio e io proporrei anche una sezione salumi e formaggi per il prossimo articolo 😉 Per il vino poi ci vorrebbe una enciclopedia
Very nice and very tasty article!
Than you! 😃

R.
thank you 😁
You did the hard work 😉
Now is our turn to put that inspiration from your article to our kitchens, pans and pots 😃
Nice place, great food. From Italian food I miss Prosciutto Di Parma, I love that taste.
have you tried also salame? for example from where I live we have salame Brianza
As a kid I lived in Munich and my neighbour was Italian who owned a store with Italian food so I tried many salamis and most of them were great, I also remember some sweets like pralines, it was dried fruit covered with white chocolate but can´t remember the name of It.
mmmmm looks nice 🙂
