Heres some information about Italian food. Hope it helps:
ITALIAN PIZZA IN ITALY:
OK, I like America pizza once in a while - but Italian pizza is a very different thing. The establishments which specialize in pizzas are called "pizzeria" and often they have menus listing 20 or more types. In Italy, pizza is always made to order (with somebody in the kitchen kneading the dough for the individual pizzas), usually cooked in a wood oven, and has a very thin crust - not oily at all. No where in Italy is pizza an industrial product, frozen and then popped into an oven or microwave to be heated up for the unsuspecting consumer. Typical basic toppings are: Tomato, mozzarella and anchovies (Napoli style); Tomato and mozzarella (Margherita); with mushrooms (funghi) or rugola and cherry tomato ( pomodori pachini). Although this might sound similar to American pizza the taste is very different - you would not believe it until you have tried it.
Another MUST TRY in a pizzeria is the BRUSCHETTA. It consists of a fingerthick slice of bread, toasted usually in the wood oven, rubbed with a clove of garlic and then sprinkle with good quality olive oil and salt - You may also have it with chopped tomatoes and basil on top. In the oil producing areas, the quality of the new crop is often tested by putting some on a piece of toasted bread to taste. Also the SUPPLI' is a great snack. It is rice mixed with tomato sauce and mozzarella, formed into a ball then dipped in flower and eggs and deep fried. OK, since it is fried it is not too healthy - but it is worth a try once or twice.(See also below Campania )
ITALIAN DRESSING: What is here called Italian dressing - sorry, but no Italian would use it. Authentic Italian dressing consists of Olive Oil and Vinegar ( Balsamic vinegar ok), Salt and maybe pepper - that is it - No garlic powder in the real Italian dressing - and it is not an already prepared, bottled industrial product but rather it is mixed from the above ingredients at the table. In Italian restaurants when you order a salad, you will normally be expected to do the dressing yourself and will be provided with the oil and vinegar set. In an oil producing area, the hosts will not be surprised if you ask for some oil to sprinkle on the bread while you are waiting for the meal to be served.
VEGETABLES: I do really like the way Italians cook vegetables, either just boiled and then dressed with good olive oil and vinegar, or in the case of some leafy vegetables "ripassati in padella", that is "re-cooked" in a bit of oil, garlic and possibly red pepper. Artichokes of any kind are delicious, and cooked in many different ways during the main harvest season which is in the late Spring. They are used for pasta dishes, as appetizers when steamed with oil and parsley, as side orders to accompany various meat dishes, even deep fried and "crunchy". In the Veneto area, just the artichoke bottoms are consumed, boiled and dressed with oil, salt, pepper and parsley. Very tiny young artichokes not more than 2 inches high are also prepared in this way. This is a speciality and comparatively expensive. Also in northern Italy, there is an area which produces "white asparagus" that mature under cover so they do not take on any coloring. They are available only for a short period in the late Spring and are cooked in a variety of ways.
