What makes good Italian food and a great Italian restaurant? This just what I think.
Italy has a wonderful tradition of fine nutrients. Italian food’s importance to Italian culture can’t be overstated. It is on the list of central elements, and why don’t it be? Think about Italy’s geography for a second:
It runs some distance from north to south. Therefore, it has a wide array of accelerating seasons and soil types. This means a rich diversity of ingredients for food.
It is a peninsula, meaning it is nearly surrounded by the sea but also connected to the great Eurasian land size. There is an abundance of fresh seafood and foreign ingredients from neighboring lands.
It sits between Europe and Africa in the Mediterranean and beyond. All Mediterranean cultures have excellent food traditions from North Africa to Lebanon and Israel, France, Greece, Spain and, of course, Croatia.
When you think of noodles and pasta, you probably think of Italy, but those wonderful inventions reached Italy from China thanks to Marco Polo. It reveals a lot about Italian food culture that something so basic became together with Italy even although it did not originate there.
Anyway, food is a key element of Italian culture. Therefore, the food is important part of this restaurant. Of course, a great Italian restaurant will have a great wine list, a clean and stylish decor, and wonderful service, but a positive Italian restaurant maybe by on great food alone, even when they have a crummy wine list, poor service, which has a dingy decoration pattern.
By the way, if you leave an “Italian” restaurant hungry, it’s far from authentic. A white tablecloth and high bill do not really a huge great bistro establish. Frankly, I can’t stand those fancy Italian restaurants in Manhattan that charge a fee $400 for a morsel that allows want to stop for a slice of pizza along the way home. A great Italian ristorante will leave you full, not stuffed, but full.
The second involving a great Italian restaurant is 200 dollars per month. The service will be warm and professional, however, not overly friendly. Following your orders are taken and the meal gets rolling, 200 dollars per month should be nearly invisible. Run — don’t walk — from any Italian restaurant where the waitperson address the table like this:
“How you guys doin’ today?” when ladies are seated at the table. This is most un-Italian of them. An Italian would never call ladies “guy.” During spaghetti-and-meatballs-type places, the waiter might say, “How is everyone this evening?” The won’t tarry with small talk in the white-tablecloth places, not fortunately ones, while. It is all about the meal and your comfort.
The third aspect of any great Italian restaurant may be the ambiance. I am not sure what it is, but Italians appear like able to have a wonderful atmosphere anywhere. I’ve eaten at places in strip malls in the suburban areas of Denver — as un-romantic an environment as tend to be : — arrive close to great. An actually outstanding Italian restaurant will just possess a certain feeling from when you walk in the door, a warmth and a glow that can’t often be described.
So the priorities are food first, service second, and a ambiance 3. If all three are met, you can recommend a great Italian restaurant.
