Italian cuisine can differ greatly from region to region. Often people not totally familiar with the range of foods in Italy assume everything is spaghetti and pizza when that is not the case. Italy is well known for its wines, risotto (rice dishes), cured hams, pasta, cheeses, breads, and numerous other culinary delights.

Pasta throughout Italy is served at meals like rice in East Asia. The variety of pasta types and methods of serving are enormous. From super thin vermicelli to potato-based gnocchi many different types of sauces can accompany them. Sauces are prepared with all types of ingredients such as tomatoes, cheese, cream, butter, mushrooms, meats, vegetables, spices, and herbs.

The first pizzeria that served pizzaas we know it today, flat breads with toppings have been around for a long long time, orginated in Naples, Italy. The fresh from the oven pizza had toppings of mozzarella, basil, and tomato sauce. Today pizza is served throughout the world and topped with almost anything imaginable.
