Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova admitted that she's in love with Italian food. Sharapova, 31, was in Italy for a friend's wedding recently and she couldn't hold back her emotions for the food.

"The zucchini blossoms, grilled polyp, summer tomatoes, fried scampi, boquerones, or the non gluten zucchini pasta we just inhaled at Lo Scoglio, were just right. Italy, you just do it right," she wrote. Sharapova is already on her way to Los Angeles, where she will practice ahead of the Montreal Rogers Cup.
