Italian STREET Food!! 🇮🇹 From North to South I tried all.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while provolone is often less expensive.

gelato

🥗Healthier: sorbet

💰Cheaper: ice cream

Sorbet is lower in calories and often cheaper than gelato.

cannoli shells

🥗Healthier: baked phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought pastry shells

Baked phyllo is lighter and store-bought shells save time.

porchetta

🥗Healthier: turkey breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Turkey breast is leaner, while pork shoulder is more affordable.
