That feeling "when the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine"
Answer:
AMORE
Hint:
Think of the Italian word that means love and rhymes with a famous pizza topping.
Explanation:
This clue quotes the famous Dean Martin song "That’s Amore", where the lyrics describe love as making everything feel bright and dreamy—like having too much wine. The phrase is a playful way to hint at the Italian word for "love," which is the answer. If you recognize the song, the connection to amore becomes obvious.
