Mia's Authentic Italian Food


“Italian food” that most American restaurants serve today is not quite as Italian as you may think. In fact, what Americans consider Italian food would baffle someone from Italy. With so many people migrating to America over the years, Italian food has embedded itself into the American cuisine. Yet, there are only a few places in the country today that serve authentic Italian delicacies.
For example, spaghetti with meatballs is a classic choice for most diners in America, but in Italy, it is unheard of. Some parts of southern Italy serve a dish called Polpettine sauce which is tiny meatballs cooked in tomato sauce and baked between layers of pasta. This is as far as Italians get to spaghetti with meatballs.
Italy is home to a rich food culture. Italians place a lot of emphasis on what they eat and how they cook it, and families usually eat together. During religious festivals and Saint days, food plays the primary role in the celebration. In Italy, food is far from just a source of nourishment. It is something that Italians are proud of and passionate about.

You’ll Be Stunned to Learn that These Italian Dishes Were Made in America

Image
Who would have guessed that Spaghetti and Meatballs isn’t a traditional Italian dish or that “Italian” dressing was invented in Massachusetts? In fact, many of the foods considered to be Italian classics aren’t consumed in Italy at all. For example, Italians wouldn’t dream of adding chicken to their pasta (pasta courses are served without meat), and the very Italian-sounding Cioppino - or fish stew - was created in San Francisco by Italian-American fishermen. Italian Wedding Soup doesn’t include pasta, and there’s no such thing as “garlic bread” prepared by slathering garlic butter on a toasted baguette. Bruschetta , however, is served by the slice and made by brushing olive oil on toasted ciabatta. Here are some other “Italian” dishes that aren’t actually served in Italy: ●      Baked Ziti ●      Pasta with Vodka Sauce ●      Chicken Parmesan ●      Pizza topped with Pepperoni ● ...
