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! 

 

Ready to explore Italy?

Don’t just let your tastebuds travel to Italy, let all of your senses discover some of Gennaro and James’ favourite regions. 

Italian chef, Gennaro Contaldo has been our Citalia Brand Ambassador for over 8 years and over that time he’s shared his Italian recommendations and recipes with us, which we know you love reading just as much as we do. That’s why we’re excited to celebrate the launch of his newest cookbook, CUCINA

In April, we were thrilled to offer three lucky winners the chance to win an Italian food bundle including a signed copy of Gennaro’s book. This competition has now closed but terms and conditions can still be found at the bottom of this page.
