When I'm in Italy，I generally only eat Italian food.I doubt there's another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more.
To eat well in Italy，finding the right restaurant is key.I appreciate personality-driven restaurants，run by people keen（熱衷的） to share their love of good cooking，and places serving family recipes.Signs of a good restaurant include a low-rent location，lots of locals，and a small，handwritten menu in one language.The menu is small because they're only selling everything they're cooking；it's handwritten because it's shaped by what is fresh today in the market；and it s in one language because they mostly serve locals.
For a fast and cheap lunch，I look for Italian food in corner delis（熟食店）：either a rosticceria，specializing in roasted meats and antipasti（開胃食物），or a hot table bar —a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables.Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts，cheeses，and other foods for a picnic.
Italians tend to spend a long time on each course，and dinner is the evening's entertainment.For example，when you have a full-blown Italian dinner in a restaurant，you don't get out until midnight；a three-hour meal is common.Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving.When you want the bill，you'll have to ask for it.To "eat and run" is seen as a lost opportunity.
A couple of years ago，I sat down at my favorite place in Verona，Enoteca Can Grande，with my friend and guide Franklin.We let the chef，Giuliano，bring us whatever he wanted.Just after the antipasti arrived，F(xiàn)ranklin's wife phoned him and said，"Don't eat too much cheese or dessert." Later Franklin，who was not thin，surveyed our table.Sighing，he said，"The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few."
"That's a pity，" I said.
I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours.Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience.
