Italian food isn't as advertised... as no other country really "gets" Italian food. And most of the time nor do I. I t did take me most of the year to really be able to work out what places you should eat at and the ones you should steer clear of. And they get so hyped up over such trivial culinary things, but they find any other nationality's cuisine so foreign they won't try it (che strano!), so they never realize that there may actually be more exciting food in the world than aglio olio (basic pasta with olive oil, garlic [which they infuse in the oil and then take out cos they hate actually eating the garlic itself], parsley and chilli). Also, almost all of Italy is seemingly closed for all of August. Except maybe places out on the coast where all the Eyetalians vacate to. Ah yes.
