When traveling in Italy, one of the most authentic and unforgettable experiences is undoubtedly the cuisine. Visit trattorias or osterias run by local families. These small restaurants are often hidden in back streets or in the countryside, and are places where traditional recipes are passed down from generation to generation. Savoring a dish prepared with fresh and seasonal ingredients, often grown or harvested locally, is the best way to discover real Italian cuisine.
These restaurants often use 0 km products, that is, fresh and local ingredients, offering a genuine taste of the territory.
In addition to the superior quality, the prices of trattorias and osterias are generally lower than tourist restaurants.
In addition to trattorias, you could also experience an agriturismo. These establishments offer meals prepared directly with products grown on site and allow you to enjoy the tranquility of the Italian countryside while savoring authentic food.

Traveling with Taste and Slow Italy grants you access to these authentic culinary experiences. We will guide you to the best family-run trattorias, away from the tourist routes, to let you experience the purest essence of Italian cuisine.

Discover Authentic Italy with Taste and Slow Italy’s Tips! SECOND TIP

After years of experience in the travel industry in Italy, we have gathered 10 valuable tricks (or let’s just call them efficient solutions or great tips). Today, we are sharing our second tip for traveling in Italy, so follow our page Taste and Slow Italy!

To get lower prices, we recommend traveling in a small group of 4 to a maximum of 7 people, or organizing a group of over 20. So, to save money, the right number is either a small group up to 7 people or over 20. This helps optimize transfer services. If you're in a small group, you can spread the cost of a luxury van, and if you're 20 or more, we will reserve a luxury minibus or coach for you. But if you're, for example, a group of 10, it means reserving not one, but two vans. Or a 20-seater minibus… which is not cost-effective!

Unless you're planning a romantic trip for two, which is also perfectly fine as we have great solutions for that too, we recommend involving other friends and family to make a group, and the costs will be much lower.

Discover Authentic Italy with Taste and Slow Italy!

With over 30 years of experience in the Italian travel industry, we’ve gathered 10 valuable tricks (or let’s just call them efficient solutions or great tips) to help you experience Italy like a true local! Every week, we’ll share practical and professional advice with our travel clients, so you can enjoy unforgettable trips to Italy with ease, safety, and savings. Whether you’re looking for authentic destinations or tips on getting the best quality deals, follow our page, Taste and Slow Italy!

ITALY TRAVEL PRO TIP #1: Book your trip at least 8 months in advance!

To get the best prices and widest choices, it’s crucial to plan ahead. Many travelers believe they can rely on last-minute deals, but in Italy, it’s quite the opposite! Here’s why:

High demand in peak season: Popular destinations like Rome, Venice, and the Amalfi Coast are often fully booked months in advance during peak seasons, driving up costs for flights and accommodations.

Exclusive experiences sell out: Authentic experiences, like private tours or wine tastings, have limited availability. Booking early ensures you don’t miss out!

More flexibility: Booking ahead gives you more options for accommodations, itineraries, and transportation, whereas last-minute bookings leave you with fewer choices at higher prices.

Flights cost more last-minute: International flights to Italy get pricier as departure dates approach. Booking early secures lower fares.

Skip the lines at top attractions: Places like the Colosseum and Vatican often have long queues. Booking tickets in advance with us saves time and guarantees access!

The "sold out" in Italy is a common disappointment—but not with Taste and Slow Italy!
We can plan a trip with efficient solutions and at the right cost. We have long-standing partners with whom we’ve secured favorable rates. That’s why it’s always more convenient to book all your travel services in Italy with us: accommodation, transfers (bus, train, watertaxi, private car, van...), entrance tickets, guides, restaurants, concerts and events, authentic experiences at the best conditions.

Starting August 2024, Venice has implemented a strict regulation limiting group tours to a maximum of 25 people. This is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to manage tourism and protect its fragile environment. Given these new rules, and the complexities of navigating Venice, partnering with a knowledgeable tour operator is essential. Taste and Slow Italy stands out in offering the right solutions, tailored experiences that ensure travelers enjoy the true beauty of Italy. Their expertise helps both individual travelers and travel agencies avoid unexpected issues and enjoy a more authentic journey.

Dear Mr Frank Hornig,

I read with interest your opinion in Der Spiegel, which was also featured by TTG Italia and Corriere.it, regarding the relationship between Italy and German tourists. It's clear that the debate on certain critical aspects of tourism in Italy, such as overtourism and perceived high costs, is particularly heated. However, it seems that there is a partial understanding of the situation—one that our clients from the USA, Singapore, and other parts of the world have grasped fully: the key to experiencing authentic Italy is not through "do-it-yourself tourism", but by relying on an expert tour operator.

Take, for example, the issues you mentioned in your article: Venice could not give its best in summer, or another possible bad issue can be the long lines for visiting a museum in Rome on November 4th. A bad surprise the travellers make front without a professional advice...! These are real inconveniences, but they can be avoided with the right solutions and assistance. A tour operator like Taste and Slow Italy, specialized in overtourism and custom-made vacations, knows the territory like no other and knows exactly how to navigate it to ensure a flawless travel experience.

By relying on professionals who know the most authentic places and people, our clients enjoy unique and unrepeatable experiences, far from the most beaten tourist paths. It’s not just about avoiding crowds or saving time in lines; it’s about discovering hidden sites, participating in local traditions, and experiencing Italy in an authentic way, like a traveler, not just a tourist.

Unfortunately, those who insist on "do-it-yourself tourism" risk returning home with a disappointing experience, resulting from partial planning and low knowledge of the territory. On the other hand, tourists from the USA, Canada, Singapore, China, India, Taiwan, Australia, who choose to rely on local experts, know they will get the best out of their trip, with personalized solutions, exclusive alternatives, and advice that only someone with deep knowledge of Italy can offer. Independently the measure of the budget.

This is why our company, Taste and Slow Italy, is committed to addressing the problems of overtourism by offering innovative and personalized solutions:

Overtourism: We know where to take our clients to let them experience authentic Italy, in places that are still human-scaled and away from the crowds.

Prices: We know of accommodations that offer excellent comfort and prices without sacrificing the overall experience.

In conclusion, dear Frank, the best experiential tourism is the one lived with the help of those who know the territory deeply. This is what our clients have understood, and perhaps, what many German tourists still need to discover.

Best regards,

Taste and Slow Italy

The Via Appia has officially been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, making it the 60th Italian site to receive this recognition. Known as the "Regina Viarum," the ancient road stretches 540 kilometers from Rome to Brindisi and is a significant symbol of Roman engineering and cultural exchange. This designation highlights the road's historical importance and its role as a bridge between the past and present. The upcoming Appia Day on September 22, 2024, will celebrate this achievement with various events along the route.
