Citalia is the UK’s leading Italy travel specialist and we have been helping guests discover the real Italy for over 90 years. Citalia was originally founded by the Italian State Railway, and we remain the only UK Tour Operator that can book advance rail travel. Our holidays are authentic, and our itineraries are tailormade by our Italy experts, to ensure each of our guests have an unforgettable Italian adventure.
At Citalia we’re always day-dreaming about our next Italian escape and we know our guests are too! That’s why we only partner with people who share the same love and passion for Italy as we do.
In the spirit of summer, we have partnered with Nonna Tonda, an authentic pasta delivery service, to bring the taste of Italy directly to your home.
On behalf of Citalia, our Brand Ambassador, Gennaro Contaldo was invited to visit the Nonna Tonda kitchen to create a tasty recipe video for you to cook-a-long with at home. Enjoy watching Gennaro and James, founder of Nonna Tonda, cook up a storm whilst discussing their favourite regions of Italy and the inspiration for their love of food.
Try their mouth-watering ‘Tagliarini with crab & Datterino tomato’ yourself by watching now and watch the full cook-a-long now!
Don’t just let your tastebuds travel to Italy, let all of your senses discover some of Gennaro and James’ favourite regions.
Where Italy, Austria and Switzerland meet, you’ll find the Dolomite Mountains – some of Italy’s most breath-taking scenery. Our full-day excursion is the perfect way to experience this spellbinding – but relatively untouched – part of Italy.
You’ll be taken through the heart of the Dolomites and its most striking, snow-capped mountain ranges. You’ll see the majestic Marmolada Glacier and drive through the Pordoi Pass, at an altitude of 2,239 metres. From there, you can take Trentino’s highest cable car to reach the Sass Pordoi, a panoramic viewing platform at 2,950 metres.
In the afternoon, you'll head down the Gardena Valley with a stop at Ortisei, an alpine town in South Tyrol, one of northern Italy’s finest food and wine regions.
