Just stumbled upon this awesome thread. So, whenever I think of Italy, it's an instant mental image of a perfect pizza. Like, who can resist that cheesy goodness, right? And speaking of breakfast places near me, Jay Kay's Café in Dublin City Centre is my newfound haven! Imagine sipping coffee with a view of the bustling streets. Pure bliss. On every trip, it is important for me to try delicious food from the local cuisine. I think it gives me the opportunity to get a feeling of how the locals live.
