There is no such thing as bad Italian Cuisine. Period. While visiting the Lombardy Region of Italy we had the opportunity to sample kinds of Italian foods and yet we didn’t so much as have a bad meal. The food is just that good over there and Italians take pride in using fresh ingredients to make all of their food and drinks. Come join us as we eat our way around Italy!

Italian Cuisine: Italy Food Guide to Lombardy Travel Food Video Transcript:
Well good morning from Milano, Italia. We are here in Italy. It is our first day, so we have gone in search of the Italian breakfast. Now we weren’t entirely sure what an Italian breakfast looks like so we did a bit of research and asked around and apparently it is just a coffee and anything sweet. So that could be pastries, bread with jam, cake or cookies. So we’ve sat down at a little cafe and we’re going to have our first Italian breakfast.
Okay guys, so I’m pretty excited about today. We have left Bergamo behind and we’re visiting a castle outside in the countryside. It’s called Castello di Malpaga and we are going to be taking a cooking class inside a castle. So I’m going to get ready to start cooking and Sam is going to give you a tour of the castle so you can see what it looks like.
First impressions from Milan so far? Ah, it’s been great. Especially the food. And every time you go to a restaurant I’m looking at the menu and I’m like I want this, I want this, I want this, I want this.
So I have a hard time deciding and I’m not even sure if we’re going to get to cover everything before we leave. Well, tonight it is risotto.
So we’ve gone out for our first Italian Aperitivo. Which is kind of like a pre-dinner drinking tradition. Basically, you get yourself a cocktail for about 10 Euros and that gives you access to this massive buffet of like pizzas, pastas, olives. Anything you could possibly imagine. And this is what comes before dinner.
Good morning from Chiavenna. It is a bit of a rainy morning but we are still very excited to be here and out exploring because there is a festival taking place here. Today is the day of the Bresaola and that means that we are celebrating a deli meat. And there is lots of different stands that have been setup across the town. So you can just wander around and sample some deli meats. So we’re going to be trying lots of food today. It’s very exciting. And just to give you a bit of background information, Bresaola is kind of similar to prosciutto but it is made from beef and it has very little fat. So that is coming up in this video.
One of the pleasures of coming to Italy is indulging in the local ice cream known as gelato. Here we’ve each got two cones. I’ve got the waffle cone over here and Audrey’s going to be trying the regular cone. We’ve got different flavors and we can’t wait to try a taste test now.
So it is lunchtime here in Milan and we figured why not have pizza when in Italy. I’ve only had pizza once the whole time I’ve been here and it was time to try a few others. So we’ve been walking around the city and we walked by this one shop and we saw they had like these extra thick slices of pizza. It almost looked like a focaccia bread with toppings. So we went in there and grabbed two slices.
Good afternoon from the city of Bergamo. Today we took a day trip from Milan, we rode the train for less than an hour and we arrived at a completely new destination. So we’ve been exploring the town of Bergamo and we also learned that there is a dessert that is very popular in this city. And that is what I have right here.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

12:42 that's panna cotta 🙂
This really makes me want to go to Italy! The architecture, culture, and food…everything looks wonderful!! Pizza and gelato :p The background music is also making me happy haha. Thank you for another awesome video!
"Bird polenta", actually "polenta and birds", because it's a sweet imitation of a typical dish, polenta with small roasted birds on it (I wouldn't eat it because I don't like eating small animals, but it's a traditional dish in Bergamo; I like the sweet version!).
TAKE AWAY THAT F*C*ING NEAPOLITAN MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's much worse than "Dixieland" in Maine, I can assure you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or British stuff in Quebec. It's really the wrong people you have in mind. We have nothing to do with Neapolitans.
14:15: Neapolitan music and Lombardy: this is a NO GO!!!!!!!! Like playing Greek Sirtaki in Paris, or Bavarian Jodl in Hamburg.
uè, figa
Keep the Good Work going
il cartone della pizza lasciatelo, non è commestibile
are you surprised not to have found there those FAKE ''italian'' dishes as ''fettuccine alfredo'', ''chicken parmigiana'' ''wedding soup'' ''caesar salad'' , ''spaghetti an' meatballs'' and the other FALSE ''italian'' recipes of
your ''nice'' country?
It's all very nice, but you didn't finish your homework. in Italy, as in ALL of Europe, one removes their headwear while indoors. It isn't polite. Actually it isn't polite in the States either. Also, you had southern ( Napolitan) music for northern province. Try a bit harder next time
the dark bread you were tasting is called "pane di segale"… it's a typeof bread made with wheat and rye flour, typical from the alpine italian region in particular from Valtellina (where you were in this video) , Valcamonica and some other valleys in Bergamo province…it's good also with speck from Trentino-Alto adige region…. i hope you tasted some other typical italian food from the alps, because it's very good too, but not very famous, because is more kind of regional food…
"tarantella" folk music at 13:58 is typical from the south of Italy, in Naples…you will never hear tarantella or mandulin music in the north because it's not part of the culture…it's a common "mistake" that foreign people from america do, because most of the immigrants were from the south and then they exported their culture, so this has become some kind of stereotype, but italy is so full of differences in culture because of its history…. 😀 have a good life!
I'm from Brazil, and I love all your channels! You both have such great and entertaining personalities… and well, food is always good right? Congrats!
great job in that kitchen guys! Hi from Rome! We hope to see you around soon 😉
Bread before risotto TOO MUCH CARBS!
Beautiful video, but you need some musical advice 😉
Does the risotto come with some meat or veggies?
Samuel and Audrey ,could you do a videoclip about Argentina ( if you haven't already done )?
