You mean American Italian. American Italian food is nothing but heavy creams, sauces, and pastas. It’s become a caricature. It’s all the comfort food but on steroids. A lot of “exported” Italian can be similar. Nothing but pizza and pastas.

Having been to Italy multiple times I can assure you that pasta is a minority on the menu, and the restaurants that do have pasta-heavy menus cater to tourists or are specialty. The food has a wide variety and is regional, and most certainly isn’t just whatever it is you restrict it to in your stereotype.

I don’t know much about American Italian. I’m from the Netherlands. 🤷‍♂️ 🇳🇱

But I can tell you’re passionate about this. I like that. 😌
