Back to: Italian cuisine
A journey through the wealth of Mediterranean flavors inevitably leads to Italian cuisine, the favorite choice of all generations and a world symbol of simplicity and supreme enjoyment of food. If you are looking for a juicy slice of pizza or you are planning a dinner in a restaurant with a glass of top wine, the distinctive notes of basil, olive oil, mozzarella and tomatoes create a unique culinary experience that brings people together at the table.
If you also want to taste the authentic flavors of Italy, on this page you can find a list of Italian restaurants and pizzerias in Belgrade.
The absolute star of street and family food is the authentic Neapolitan or Roman pizza, made from long-fermented dough with San Marzano tomato peel and fresh mozzarella. Pasta lovers can enjoy fresh pasta prepared in numerous ways - from the classic spaghetti carbonara with guanciale and pecorino cheese, to the aromatic Bolognese sauce, all the way to stuffed ravioli and tortellini. Creamy risotto with seafood or porcini mushrooms, as well as rich lasagna with a crispy baked crust, are an indispensable part of the menu.
The high quality of the meal is guaranteed by geographically protected ingredients that give the dishes a recognizable identity.
The traditional appetizer (antipasto) begins with prosciutto from Parma, San Daniele, Parmesan, burrata and marinated olives served with warm focaccia. Lunch is traditionally crowned with famous desserts such as creamy tiramisu with mascarpone and coffee, refreshing canna cotta or real artisanal Italian gelato.
When choosing a restaurant or preparing Italian dishes at home, pay attention to the key culinary details that make the difference. Original pasta is always cooked "al dente" (under the teeth), i.e. so that it remains slightly firm under the teeth, because it is easier to digest and blends better with sauces. Neutral cream is never added to real Italian carbonara, but a rich and creamy sauce is obtained exclusively by mixing egg yolks, grated pecorino or parmesan cheese, pepper and hot water in which the pasta was cooked. Properly prepared pizza dough must undergo a ripening process of at least 24 to 48 hours, which makes it extremely light on the stomach, with characteristic airy and slightly blackened edges from the oven.
