Where in Italy did you go? I don't travel much, but I visited a friend in Lecco nearly twenty years ago and had a/several feast(s) every day, both from her and her mum's cooking and when we ate out in a small neighbourhood restaurant that was simply outstanding.
I remember being on a family holiday in a typical tourist spot once and the food there was indeed very poor, though.

Bologna is good for food.

We went to Rome, Florence, Padua, Venice, Bolzano. I think my problem is that Italian food is so common and I was expecting that it would be different in Italy. When you eat food in Thailand, China or Japan it very different to what you get outside those countries.
Didn't get that in Italy. No surprises, flavour profiles monotonous, nothing to complement or contrast it with.
Like this seafood. Nicely grilled and fresh but ultimately dull. Also they seam convinced olive oil has magical properties.

So true, came back from holiday in Italy recently and was surprised by the mediocre to terrible food almost everywhere.
Ice cream and cakes are nice though.
