One of the best things about traveling to Italy has got to be the food. Every region is steeped in a unique culinary tradition with a focus on high-quality ingredients and surprisingly simple but very flavorful dishes that make for top-tier comfort food — especially when it comes to pasta.

But who knows pasta better than an Italian grandma (or "nonna" in Italian)? In Bari, Puglia, you can enjoy an authentic Italian food experience complete with freshly made, local pasta by a "nonna" if you walk down a particular street in one of the oldest parts of this ancient city.
