Tips To Keep In Mind When Eating Italian
There are certain tips you need to keep in mind when eating, preparing or ordering Italian food.

  • Slowly does it – Italian food is not to be eaten in a rush. Savour it and take your time – usually there is a lot of food to get through.
  • Pasta is primary – Pasta is never a side dish. Its usually the main meal in the first course.
  • The overcooking sin - Pasta should never be overcooked. In most Italian dishes the pasta is served al dente. This means that the pasta is just under cooked that it has texture. 
  • Beware the cut – Spaghetti should never be cut. Instead its beast eaten by twirling it around your fork.
  • Don’t always cheese it – Although cheese it often used in Italian food, never put parmesan cheese on fish, as it takes from the flavour.
  • Beware the coffee – To Italians coffee usually means Espresso. Cappuccinos are usually seen as a breakfast drink and not with main meals.
  • Drink up – the most common drinks served with Italian food is wine or water (although beer is permitted with pizza).
