We've got a fun infographic that tackles the world of food and wine pairing!

It's not always easy to figure out which wine goes with this or that part of the meal. So today, we're featuring a highly visual, clean and simple breakdown of food and wine pairs. From there, ask our knowledgeable staff to advise on which syrah or chardonnay we recommend.

Enjoy a healthy, hearty Italian meal at La Piazza Dario!

When many people think of Italian food, they think of carbohydrate overload and heavy creams. But eating Italian food doesn't have to be bad for you. While some dishes are served with (delicious) cream based sauces, there are ways to tailor your meal to suit your healthy lifestyle, even while dining out!

Come to La Piazza Dario and order your favourite Italian dishes with just a few modifications. You get to enjoy the delicious tastes of Italy, without having to feel guilty about what you're eating!

Tips to Healthy Italian Eating:

1. Ask if the dish comes in a whole grain option, such as whole wheat bread or pasta. Eating whole grains is believe to lower the risk of many chronic diseases.
2. Have some olive oil! Whether it's in your appetizer or main course, olive oil is a healthy dietary fat that is good for your cardiovascular system. It also helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
3. Choose tomato based sauces over cream based ones for a meal with a lower fat content.
4. Say no to the parmesan cheese. 
5. Have a glass of Italian red wine (but don't overdo it). Red wine provides antioxidants and resveratrol which helps support good cardiovascular health.

Today's Italian word is the word for wine!

Maybe vino is an obvious word for most, but we just had to include it in our Monday Italiano series this week! Why? Well we want to share our wonderful wine collection with you; for what is an Italian meal without its wine pairing?!

Wine is just as much a part of Italian culture as the geographic boot shape of the country. All across Italy you will find wine regions and vineyards with unique flavours and grapes! But in spite of the vast Italian wine selection, we like to expand our horizons as well and include only the best wines on our menu, both local and global!

Here are a few snapshots of our collection but you really must come for a visit to be able to truly explore and view our collection that make up our six page wine menu!
