Ciao I'm Zen

Building the guide I wish I had when tourists asked me what to eat.

Why I am building this

I have lived in multiple countries, and I have been the confused tourist more times than I can count. Menus in languages I do not speak, dishes I have never heard of, no idea what is good or what is a trap. I know that feeling of being completely lost in a food scene you do not understand.

Then I thought about my own country. Too many tourists come to Italy, eat at the wrong places, order the wrong things, and leave thinking they have experienced Italian cuisine. It is not their fault. They just need a guide that speaks their language.

So I am building this: a simple platform that tells you what to eat in every Italian city, why it matters, and where to start looking for it.

No pretentious food writing. No complicated recipes. Just the truth about what makes Italian food actually Italian.
