Italian cuisine includes deeply rooted traditions common to the whole country, as well as all the regional gastronomies that are different from each other and are in continuous exchange. Italian cuisine offers an abundance of taste, and is one of the most popular and copied around the world. The cuisine has influenced several other cuisines around the world, chiefly the form of Italian-American cuisine.

Featured Dessert:
Traditional Tiramisu- Tiramisu is rich, creamy, custardy, and light all at the same time. Made with dreamy layers of mascarpone cream, coffee and rum soaked lady fingers and a healthy dusting of cocoa powder.

Featured Meals:
Parmigiana di Melanzane (eggplant)- Disputed by many Italian regions, the origin of the dish is claimed by the southern regions of Calabria, Campania, Apulia, and Sicily. Served with chopped salad and warm bread.

Spaghetti Carbonara- Hot pasta tossed in a creamy egg sauce with crisp bits of Guanciale (Italian cured pork). It is most associated with Rome and the Lazio region, but as with so many Italian dishes, in Italy, its origin provokes much speculation and debate. Served with grilled chicken and garlic bread.
