“Everything tastes better when fried”: and how to disagree with this proverb, as old as Italy, that we all keep repeating when we talk about food. The smell, the crispy texture, the warm and velvety filling (when present) are an irresistible mix and everything takes on a different essence.

Frittura is undoubtedly a landmark of Italian gastronomic culture, the most popular preparation, smelling of home, family, but also of dinners with friends and carefree weekend evenings. The great importance of frittura in Italy is unquestionable and it takes popular but also refined forms depending on the context, and it is certainly well-loved by tourists as well.
