What differs between a trattoria, osteria, ristorante and enoteca?
I can’t be the only one that got quite confused with the different ways that Italians name the foodie meetups. But lately we have been in Italy quite a few times, so let’s try and break them down in a way that we can all understand it a bit better … here we go! Trattoria: You can expect regional cuisine at a trattoria, quite inexpensive but with a larger menu than the Osteria. Traditionally the Trattorias were family-owned, like rustic neighborhood restaurants. Osteria: Supercheap, kind of like the hostel version of a restaurant with communal-style tables.

Brindisi – first impression
A lot of you have been asking about our trip to Brindisi, so I thought I would give you kind of a first impression… First of all, let me start by saying that we love Italy, so booking a trip to Brindisi was a simple choice for us, even though none of us had even heard of this city before this. But as we do love Italy we were just sure that we would love Brindisi as well. And we did! We booked our tickets through Ryanair, where we paid about 350 euros for two people, Thursday to Sunday. The transfer taxi set us back 20 euros, and it took…
