    Funny to say, but as an Italian I rarely order pasta in a restaurant, because most of the time It's something I can more or less easily do at home whenever I want! Italian appetizers are underrated, I always order one of them and most of the time a "secondo" ( "firsts" dishes in Italy are with pasta or rice, "seconds" are with meat, fish or vegetables). I like to order pasta only when I am traveling to taste local pasta dish that I can't find in my city.

And yes, Beryl, artichokes are wonderful without needing any sauce. My family stuffs the whole flower before steaming, so I'm not used to the frying, but it looks delicious!

    It's interesting for me to see the perspective of Italians from Italy. I'm a second-gen Italian-Canadian and we RARELY eat out at Italian restaurants which I'd say is pretty standards for Italians in North America. The beauty of Italian food is that it's very simple so we don't see the point of eating out. If I want pasta, I'll make it. HOWEVER, the rare time we did go out for my Nonna's birthday, I would order veal or chicken Piccata and we'd order fried calamari and smelts for the table since frying is always a bigger hassle.
    I'm glad to see caponata on this list! My Nonna is from Sicilia and the first (and only) time I ever went, we had caponata and it reminded my dad of his childhood and of his mother who had since passed. I think a lot of people would enjoy caponata, or most Sicilian dishes, because of how unique Sicily is compared to the rest of Italy. The island was conquered by so many so it has a really unique fusion of cultures in its cuisine.
    As for everyone's favourite food (pizza), I'm lucky enough that my dad has a pizza oven so when we want pizza in the warmer months he makes it, but I've been known to frequent many an Italian pizza shop.

      @@laifnow I wasn't blown away but I realized in moving to America, Americans are blown away by Italian food because produce in America just taste bad. To the rest of us, this is where Italian food in Italy gets confusing. There's a lot of bland dishes that aren't offset by cooking methods. For instance, my country has pretty bland foods but cooked over charcoal and in a clay pot, you get something else.

    I was 40 before fish finally began to be food, and I still haven't risked re-trying canned sardines, which were met with deep loathing in my childhood. But your description of Sarde Fritte encourages me to try that if I ever see them.
    I would dearly love to _find_ an Italian restaurant anywhere I've ever lived that actually offers Carciofi alla Romana, because I would be all over that so hard I would cheerfully skip the noodles entirely! (I'm not the target demographic, I admit; I _loathe_ long, flappy, splashy noodles, and am only interested in small to medium shapes that sit gracefully on a spoon.)
    I'd love to try Mozzarella in Carrozza too, because although I am not at all a fan of crumby breading, I'm happy to have things fried _in_ actual bread (mmmm; shrimp toast!).
    Insalata Finocchi e Arance has been a longtime favorite in my household. So delicious; so easy to make; so stunning in both appearance and flavor! (I usually add some parsley leaves as well.)

    If you like pasta and you like artichokes you can easily make an artichoke pasta. Just slice the artichokes thinly (in artichoke season I do this with the tender part of the stalk, then heat a pan, add EVO oil, one garlic clove, and a little chilli pepper, after a minute or so add the artichokes and a little salt. When the pasta is done (and literally as soon as it's al dente and you drain it), add the pasta to the pan, sauté and serve immediately. You can turn this into a vegetarian carbonara: do the same with the artichokes (or with courgettes, or with asparagus) skipping the garlic and the chilli. Meanwhile, whisk one egg yolk per person with a tablespoon of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano (or a mixture of Parmigiano and pecorino), and a bunch of black pepper. Temper the egg mixture with a few tablespoons of the boiling pasta water to prevent it from curdling, then dump the piping hot pasta and artichoke in the bowl, toss, and serve immediately.

If a restaurant that cares about its food does delivery, sometimes, the chef is smart enough to cook things just a bit under, so the heat in traveling does not turn everything to mush.
