What makes good Italian food and a great Italian restaurant? This precisely what I think.
Italy has a wonderful tradition of fine nutrients. Italian food’s importance to Italian culture cannot be overstated. It is on the list of central elements, and why shouldn’t it be? Think about Italy’s geography for a second:
It runs a long shot from north to south. Therefore, it possesses a great wide array of accelerating seasons and soil types. This means a rich diversity of ingredients for food.
It is a peninsula, meaning can nearly surrounded in 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 Med. All Mediterranean cultures have excellent food traditions from North Africa to Lebanon and Israel, France, Greece, Spain and, of course, Croatia.
When you regarding noodles and pasta, you probably think of Italy, but those wonderful inventions reached Italy from China thanks to Marco Polo. It notifies you a lot about Italian food culture that something so basic became together with Italy even though it did not originate there.
Anyway, food can be a key element of Italian culture. Therefore, the food is important part of the restaurant. Of course, a great Italian restaurant will possess a great wine list, a clean and chic decor, and wonderful service, but a first rate Italian restaurant can get by on great food alone, whether or not they have a crummy wine list, poor service, having a dingy decoration scheme.
By the way, if you leave an “Italian” restaurant hungry, it’s in no way authentic. A white tablecloth and high bill do rather than a great bistro making. Frankly, I can’t stand those fancy Italian restaurants in Manhattan that impose $400 for a morsel that makes you want to stop for a slice of pizza on the way home. A great Italian ristorante will leave you full, not stuffed, but full.
The second associated with a great Italian restaurant is the service. The service will be warm and professional, but not overly friendly. Recognized orders are taken and the meal gets rolling, this service membership should be nearly invisible. Run — don’t walk — from any Italian restaurant where the waitperson address the table like this:
“How you guys doin’ at some point?” when ladies are seated while dining. This is most un-Italian with them. An Italian would never call girls “guy.” There is spaghetti-and-meatballs-type places, the waiter might say, “How is everyone at some point?” The won’t tarry with small talk in the white-tablecloth places, not fantastic ones, while. It is all about the meal and the comfort.
The third aspect of one great Italian restaurant is the ambiance. I not really know what it is, but Italians seem to be able to have a wonderful atmosphere anywhere. I have eaten at places in strip malls in the suburban areas of Denver — as un-romantic a setting as can be — that come close to great. A completely outstanding Italian restaurant will just possess a certain feeling from the instant you walk in the door, a warmth and too a glow that can’t really be described.
So the priorities are food first, service second, and a ambiance final. If all three are met, you can see a great Italian eating venue.
