Default Eating horse meat in Italy

This past summer while staying in Vicenza, Italy we went out to this great steak house. The steaks were huge and really good.
Along with the beef steaks they were also serving horse meat or horse steaks that didn't look a lot different than the beef.
Has anybody eaten horse meat in Italy? When you think of Italian food do you think of horse meat?

Today many European countries including France, Italy, Romania, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Belgium consume horse
meat in notable volumes. China is actually the largest producer of horse meat.

Hi Villa, yes I ate horse meat many times, and I find it very good; I have to say that is not so easy to find a restaurant serving a very good horse steak; Apulia is the best italian region for horse meat because the Bari is the main harbour for importing live horses, above all from Argentina. If anybody needs one or two addresses, in Apulia, I'll post it.

Ciao parsec e grazie. Horse meat from Argentina molto interessante. Argentina produces a lot of beef too. Wonder if anche Italy imports beef from Argentina.
So parsec, that steak house in Vicenza would be getting its horse meat from Argentia anche non e vero?
