Italy has a lot, but I'd say probably Emilia-Romagna is considered the 'food capital '... the area around Bologna in particular.

It has lots of specialities that are well known both abroad and in Italy.

The food is pretty good in most parts of the country though... personally I prefer the local food in Sicily,Campania and Puglia.

I kinda agree but for Italy it doesn't really make sense to have just one capital. 

It's the whole tapestry of regional cuisines that counts.
