It&#8217;s not easy to find everywhere, though they are plentiful in Sicily and in Sicilian pizzerias around Italy (and there are a lot of those).

You can buy bottles of regular, lemon, or peach tea in bottles at the supermarket, and in cans at bars, but\u00a0more and more bars are making their own versions of <em>t\u00e8 freddo<\/em> so your resulting glass is poured from a nondescript glass bottle kept in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Potatoes on pizza<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/rcWnV3Hrmc\/embed\/\" width=\"612\" height=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get it:<\/strong> When I first saw potatoes being combined with pizza, I thought it was a starch overload &#8211; carbs with more carbs? This may be true, but potatoes on pizza can be very delicious. Bonus if the potatoes are sliced very thin and a little rosemary is mixed in as well. Get thee potatoes on pizza, I say. If possible I suggest getting <em>pizza al taglio<\/em> (pizza by the slice) so you can try a few slices and not an entire pizza.

Almost every bar which offers coffee will have a shakerato or a version of it available. It&#8217;s just espresso shaken with ice cubes, and it makes a frothy treat. They may ask if you want it &#8220;<em>dolce<\/em>&#8221; or &#8220;<em>zuccherato<\/em>&#8221; which means they will add some sugar to it before shaking. I usually like it sweetened (vs. shaken black coffee), and it&#8217;s pretty impossible to add sugar after the fact, so I suggest getting it <em>dolce<\/em>. If you&#8217;re really adventurous, you can get it with Baileys. Yum.
