The entire region surrounding Bologna is famous for food. You and your newly-wedded boo can and should eat until fitting into your wedding day outfits is a distant memory of the past. (You can go back to a healthily portioned diet after the honeymoon.)

Where you’re staying: A spacious Airbnb just steps from the historic city center because you want to be able to enjoy a long after-dinner stroll (or a passeggiata, if you will) after dining on fresh pasta.

What you’re eating: Tagliatelle al ragu, tortellini in broth, or lasagne bolognese.

Verona

You and your partner can relive the happy moments of Romeo and Juliet in Verona, wandering the quintessentially Italian town and soaking up every second of your young love.

Where you’re staying: An enchanting loft decked out for romance that’s not far from the monuments of Shakespeare’s fictional lovers.

What you’re eating: Risotto with red wine or pork, gnocchi and plenty of sweet options for dessert.

Cinque Terre

The medieval cliffside villages of the Italian Riviera are a picturesque landscape made for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. It’s honeymoon kingdom and also happens to be located in the region that created pesto.

Where you’re staying: Your own little villa on the sea in Riomaggiore, perhaps the most photogenic of the area’s five villages.

What you’re eating: Seafood pasta and anything pesto (obviously).

Naples

The largest city in southern Italy, Naples is known for its pizza. But don’t worry — the pasta varieties are equally delicious.

Where you’re staying: A pizzeria-adjacent studio within walking distance of the city center and the marina.

What you’re eating: Spaghetti alle vongole or risotto alla pescatora (both seafood specialties).
