What is Southern Italian cuisine?
Southern Italian cuisine refers to the regional food traditions of southern Italy, including areas such as Campania, Calabria, Puglia, Basilicata and Sicily. Common ingredients include olive oil, tomatoes, vegetables, durum wheat pasta, seafood, herbs and regional cheeses and cured meats, although recipes vary considerably from one region to another.
What is the main difference between Northern and Southern Italian food?
Generally, Southern Italian cooking makes extensive use of olive oil, tomatoes, vegetables, seafood and durum wheat pasta, while many northern regional cuisines make greater use of butter, cream, rice, polenta and dairy products. These are broad tendencies rather than strict rules because Italian cuisine varies enormously by region.
Where can I try Southern Italian food in Yorkville?
Dimmi Trattoria at 140 Cumberland Street in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood is rooted in the Calabrian heritage of its founder and offers Italian dishes influenced by Southern Italian ingredients and traditions alongside favourites from other regions of Italy.
