Here's a menu

I don't get Italian food at all

Just what

Is she talking about? Primo? Contorno?

I see

There's quite a bit, so you don't have to try and eat all of it.

First, to increase appetite! Wine with acidic or bitter taste is recommended. Also called stuzzichino. There are many places that serve them.

Colourful menu to add more appetite! Usually consist of salad, carpaccio, etc. How about a spicy white wine ?

Pasta, Risotto, Soup, Pizza. Some filling sparkly wine is also preferred.

Main dish! Meat goes with red wine. Fish goes with white wine. let's match them

Italian cheeses are famous! This is the enjoyment for after-meal. Depending on the place, leftover wine is also served as service.

Tiramisu, Panna cotta, sweet tastes to enjoy after-meal

Sweet wine with high sugar content can aid with digestion. As for coffee, Italians prefer espresso.

This is the truth of my hourly notifications

It just doesn't stop
