The Italian food
Being an Italian restaurant we couldn`t start our blog without an article on the Italian food. Italians are obsessed by food. In Italy you won`t be able to end a lunch without the questions ” what are we going to eat tonight?”.
The most important aspect of the Italian cuisine is SIMPLICITY, combined with immagination and great products.
When I say simplicity I mean very simple stuff.
One of the most popular dishes in Italy is “Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino”(garlic, oil and chilli). Almost embarrassing for the poorness of the ingredients but unbelievably tasting and also ready in ten minutes. This is probably what makes Italians different in terms of food. Even when the fridge is empty they will be able to cook something great.

Itri - spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino
This is the main philosophy of ITRI.
Simple food that tastes incredible!
