Some typical foods eaten in Italy include Pesto, Pasta, Tomato sauces,white sauces, coffee, veal, beef, wine, fish, fresh vegetables, etc.

Some typical dishes eaten in Italy are stuffed mushrooms, veal milanese, bruschetta, antipasti (meats and cheeses eaten before a meal as appetizers), risotto, polenta, pasta (usually with much less sauce than Americans are used to) and so much more.

Drinks during the meal are usually wine (vino) and/or mineral water. Coffee is served after dinner.

Traditional Italian menus have five sections which usually consist of an appetizer (antipasti), first course (primo), second course(secondo), and a side dish (contorni). There is also the dessert (dolce), which is usually a fruit dish or cheese. Generally they will order from at least two courses and their meals last much longer than a typical American meal, sometimes hours long.

Pasta al sugo is the most common one. It's pasta with tomato sauce.

Other than that there are many other kinds of pasta, as lasagna, ravioli, cannelloni. Each of them can be combined with a variety of dressings.

Another typical example could be the cold cuts, as raw ham (prosciutto crudo), mortadella (bologna), salami and bacon (pancetta).

Talking about meat, there are many roasted ones, as the Roman "porchetta", the Sardinian "porcetto", and "vitello tonnato"(meat with tuna sauce).

Regarding desserts, number one is, in my opinion, <a target="_new" href="http://www.all-about-italian-food.com/italian-tiramisu-recipe.html">tiramisu</a>, close to panna cotta and others. Ana Maria da Costa http://www.all-about-italian-food.com

pasta, veal, wine, olive oil, bread, tomatoes Dont forget garlic, cheeses, bell peppers and olives.

Italians demand fresh ingredients first of all that is a staple.

On the coast much seafood and fish are on peoples table. Pasta is still eaten almost Evey day by most Italians but they do serve rice too., and potatoes. In the north butter is used more often than oil. in the south one encounters more tomatoes and garlic, In and around Bologna more cream and milk are used. Italians also enjoy their local cheeses there are many. And their cured meats such as - prosciutto, mortadella, salami. Poultry is eaten regularly in many parts too. AND Fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables- In season Bell peppers onions, mushrooms, lemons, greens, potatoes, green beans watermelon, nectarines, lettuces, celery and much more are all enjoyed.
