Tuscan cuisine

Although many people would believe that Italian food is the same around every region, it is actually very different. One of the most delightful variations of Italian food I have found is in Siena, or the Tuscany region. I love Tuscan food! With rustic pasta dishes, grilled meats, and delightful wines, Tuscan cuisine is fulfilling in every way. In Siena, grilled meats can be found everywhere. From wild boar to pork, the grilled meats in Tuscany are some of the best in Italy. The pasta dishes consist of homemade thick noodles and heartier sauces. Sun dried tomatoes are also a specialty here. The wines come from the Chianti region which has the ideal climate for producing grapes. Ultimately whenever I visit Siena, I always set aside a few hours for a long scrumptious dinner.
