Italy, a country renowned for its gastronomic treasures… a rich culinary heritage that represents a trip from region to region.
The southern gem of Campania stands out as a true epicurean paradise. Let’s delve into the flavors, aromas, and traditions that make Campania’s cuisine an irresistible delight.
The Crown Jewel: Campania’s Culinary Triumphs
Taste Atlas, the famous online portal that aggregates reviews, opinions, and judgments from experts and food enthusiasts, has crowned Campania as the world’s best region for food in 2024. With a resounding score of 4.60 out of 5, Campania’s culinary prowess shines brightly. But what exactly makes this region so exceptional?
The Mediterranean Bounty
Campania’s cuisine draws inspiration from its sun-kissed landscapes, azure seas, and fertile soil. Here are some highlights:
-
Pizza: the birthplace of pizza, Naples, offers the quintessential Neapolitan pizza. Thin, chewy crust topped with San Marzano tomatoes, Salerno buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil—it’s a slice of heaven.
-
Mozzarella di Bufala: Creamy, delicate, and made from water buffalo milk, this cheese is a Campanian treasure. Pair it with ripe tomatoes and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a sublime Caprese salad.
-
Pasta e Fagioli: A rustic dish combining pasta, beans, and aromatic herbs. Simple yet soul-satisfying.
-
Limoncello: The zesty liqueur crafted from Amalfi Coast lemons adds a sunny touch to any meal.
The Coastal Bounty
Campania’s coastline gifts us with seafood wonders:
-
Spaghetti alle Vongole: Clams, garlic, chili, and parsley dance together in this classic pasta dish.
-
Scialatielli ai Frutti di Mare: Fresh seafood—mussels, clams, shrimp—tossed with handmade scialatielli pasta. Bellissimo!
A Global Gourmet Gaze
As the world looks on, Italy continues to dazzle with its culinary prowess. Whether you’re savoring a Margherita pizza in Naples or indulging in a plate of tagliatelle al ragù in Bologna, Italy’s flavors are an invitation to celebrate life through food. So, raise your glass of limoncello, embrace the Mediterranean breeze, and let Campania’s culinary symphony transport you to a place where every bite tells a story.
Yum!

How to plan a small and intimate Wedding on Amalfi Coast!
2021 Wedding – How to Plan an Amalfi Coast Elopement
If you are planning a romantic escape for your Wedding Day, the perfect location for your elopement wedding is undoubtedly the enchanting Amalfi Coast. And if the pandemic period altered your wedding plans, an intimate elopement is the best choice!
The Amalfi Coast is one the most popular destinations of the Italian seaside, located in the south of Naples between mountains and the blue sea, and gathers pastel-colored villages perched on the cliff overlooking the sea, Ravello, Sorrento, Atrani, the maritime town of Amalfi, Minori and Maiori, not to mention the gorgeous islands… just some of the flawless frames for your Special Day. The narrow streets, the mediternnean sea, the vibrant sun, the scents, the culinary tradition and local customs will definitely steal your heart!
And what about if you don’t live in Italy? Yes, I know! It could be difficult to figure out how to plan your
elopement wedding on the Amalfi Coast. Here, come my tips!
HIRE A PLANNER
First things first, an elopement wedding represents just a fraction of what a big wedding costs, so hiring a professional wedding planner can still be an affordable option for you. Don’t think twice, you’re gonna need it!
CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION CAREFULLY
Can you imagine your elopement day? The location where you will exchange your vows should be reflective of your love, your kind of relationship and how you would love to spend your special day: in a luxurious ancient villa, in a lush garden, on a sea-view terrace, on a private beach or on a boat! From there, I will help you find the perfect place to elope, a place where you can feel connected with the beauty of our Coast and love!
HIRE AN OFFICIANT & MAKE IT LEGAL
It’s very important to look into the legal laws of the country where you’re planning to elope in order to know in time when you need to register, what papers and requirements you need to have. For this reason, being able to rely on a professional figure will be crucial to make your elopement wedding legal to all effects.
INVEST IN YOUR VENDORS
The florist, the make-up artist, the hair-stylist, the photographer or videomaker, the caterer must be absolutely reliable and professional people and who know the area to perfection. A wedding planner like me will find the right contacts for you and manage the planning process with the vendors without any concerns for you and your groom-to-be.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS VIRTUALLY
For an intimate ceremony the right choice is to live your elopement just for yourselves or to share this romantic moment just with your parents. And your friends? They can attend the ceremony virtually!
ENJOY YOUR HONEYMOON
On the Amalfi Coast you will not only live the most important day of your life, but also an unforgettable honeymoon. I can plan for you the second part of your elopement as well, book your stay in the best hotels in the area or arrange tours and excursions just for you. What more could you ask for?
Are you already daydreaming? Book your trip!

It’s time to celebrate your engagement party!
People always talk about weddings, weddings, weddings…. What about your engagement party? Your fiancé popped the question and you said a massive ‘Yes, I will!!!’ Your wedding will be held next year, you haven’t chosen the date yet… but it’s already time to celebrate!
Once your engagement news comes out, everyone will want to congratulate you and an engagement party will sound perfect! I’m pretty sure a few questions about the planning of your engagement party are probably swirling around your brain. Read on to find out everything you need to know about planning the flawless engagement party…
When having your engagement party?
Generally, the engagement party falls within a few months of the proposal, that moment in your life you’re just-engaged and you start thinking about the Wedding planning. In case you’re going to have your engagement party on Amalfi Coast, the beginning of September or the Spring season are without a shadow of doubt the best periods.
Who throws the party?
Traditionally, Bride’s parents are expected to host the first official celebration, but you don’t necessarily have to follow the rules. Nowadays, anyone can throw the engagement party and you can throw your own party… your parents, friends and relatives may join the party just as guests. It’s really up to you!
Where should it take place?
Regarding the location of your engagement party, you may decide to have your party in your own city or hold it in the country you may choose for your destination wedding. It is also true that many couples celebrate with different engagement parties because their friends and family are spread all over the World, so you could celebrate in two different places! You just need to think about the vibe you want to create: a more elegant and original setting or a casual and informal one? For example, our Coast boasts a huge variety of hotel terraces or private beaches where you can hold your unforgettable party.
Need to send invitations?
You or whoever is going to throw the party should send official engagement party invitations. Go for plain and informal paper invitations or even opt for digital invites. And don’t worry if you haven’t chosen your wedding color palette or even your wedding date, the engagement party invitations don’t have to match with the rest of your stationery.
Who should be invited?
Following the rules, everyone who will be invited to your engagement party must be invited to your Wedding too. By the way, engagement party guest list expectations have changed! Engagement parties can definitely include people who aren’t invited to the wedding, so feel free to invite all the people you want to share the big news with or whoever you want to have at your side. For a destination engagement party, I suggest you invite just a few people!
What about decorations?
Don’t rush into choosing your wedding colors or theme so that your engagement party can match with details, themes and decors: candlelight, balloons, confetti and floral arrangements are always the best choice!
In short, an engagement party is a great way to share the exciting news and get family and friends together to celebrate… Why not celebrate it on Amalfi Coast?
I’m waiting for you!
