Flame-red Lamborghini in front of the factory
Known as the Land of Motors, northern Italy is home to some of the world's premier motor manufacturers. From Turin (home of Fiat), through Milan, Modena, and Bologna, if it has wheels and an engine, wears a "Made in Italy" badge and makes your pulse quicken, it was most likely crafted here.

La Locanda del Gatto Rosso
Restaurant
Via Ugo Foscolo, 3 , Milan; Tel.: 02-72022411
Inside the glass-roofed Galleria and only a stone's throw from La Scala is this cozy, family-run place that is open throughout the day from 9:00am to midnight, making it the perfect place for a pre- or post-opera meal. The seasonal specialties range from the classics of Milanese cuisine to Mediterranean recipes like chitarra spaghetti with Sicilian prawns and slices of grilled swordfish flavored with mint and capers. Bread, pasta and delicious homemade desserts complete a menu that also includes homemade ravioli, onion soup, Florentine beefsteak and pizza. An exciting wine cellar features more than 200 labels from the best Italian vineyards.

Gran Ristoro
Cafe/Sandwich Bar
Via Sottoripa, 27r, Genoa; Tel.: 010-2473127
This tiny closet of a sandwich shop across from the Porto Antico is so small that you’d walk right past it if not for the line of Genoese of all stripes — cops, students, dock workers — extending out the door. The printed menu is minimal so just ask for a toasted sandwich, served on a fresh roll with your choice of one of the dozens of meats (prosciutto, capicola, pancetta, spianata) hanging in the window. At less than 3,00 euros, you won’t find a better lunch bargain!
