Find Your Favorite Taste At A Local Italian Restaurant

By Marissa Velazquez


No matter your upbringing, everyone loves a taste of Italy. Pursuing the best italian restaurant to satisfy your stomach won't be hard. A pizzeria or eatery with a label of an authentic pasta dish, well-known city of Italy or a family name has the best foods. Their recipes were handed down from generation to generation.

When dinning at a cafe where the theme is romantic Italy, the atmosphere must match. If the music is off, like a western country tune or the lighting is flashy, it doesn't complement the style. Extremely fancy Italy experiences will have candles and cloth table coverings, but everyday diners will have a paired down version.

Once seated, appetizers will be served. Traditional meal starters from Italia include fresh salads with vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil and various cheeses. Another favorite before the main course is Bruschetta, served with toasted chewy thick bread. Bruschetta is covered with olive oil then topped with chopped ripe tomatoes, minced garlic, basil, pesto and fresh cheeses.

If you are not that hungry, a small meal of raviolis and a bowl of soup or salad will satisfy a need for food but not overstuff you. The stuffed pasta ravioli can be made with real beef and served with a side of warm red sauce. Stuffed ravioli is seafood ravioli, which is stuffed with bits of shrimp, scallops and lobster. This under-the-sea variety is poached and offered with Alfredo, cream or cheese sauces.

For a filling meal, try a calzone or Stromboli. Both are a sandwich style made with rolled pizza or bread dough. Common ingredients include a red or marinara sauce and lots of cheese. The Stromboli's dough is pizza and the calzone, which means stocking or trouser, is similar to a stocking or trouser in the translation. The dough from Stromboli's is salted style bread formed into a moon shaped pocket.

Once you have enjoyed an appetizer, it's time to taste the main course. There are so many traditional meals coming to America from Italy, each sounding more delicious than the last. You may have a difficult time choosing the right one for your taste tonight. Be sure to read the details below each dish and ask questions of the wait staff if you are unsure what ingredients are in which dish.

There are three main groups of dinner choices eaters can choose from, including seafood, chicken or beef and pasta. Eating spaghetti is not always the best thing for you, but when you know what it can do, it'll make choosing your next meal all that much easier.

Follow up an authentic dinner from Italy with one of many desserts. Cannoli is created using a metal tube and soft pastry dough. Just as the pizza dough needs to be kneaded and rolled out, so too does cannoli dough. Once that is completed, they are fired until crispy. The filling is ricotta cheese or cream cheese. A little white wine, some vanilla, crushed pistachios and powdered sugar on top and you have one super delicious dessert to end your italian restaurant visit.
