What makes good Italian food and a great Italian restaurant? This just what I think.
Italy has a wonderful tradition of fine food. Italian food’s importance to Italian culture is not to be overstated. It is among the central elements, and why don’t it be? Think about Italy’s geography for a second:
It runs some distance from north to south. Therefore, perfect for this little wide array of accelerating seasons and soil types. This means a rich diversity of ingredients for food.
It is a peninsula, meaning can nearly surrounded in the sea but also connected to the main reason Eurasian land muscle. There is an abundance of fresh seafood and foreign ingredients from neighboring lands.
It sits between Europe and Africa in the Mediterranean sea. All Mediterranean cultures have excellent food traditions from North Africa to Lebanon and Israel, France, Greece, Spain and, of course, Toscana.
When you associated with noodles and pasta, you probably think of Italy, but those wonderful inventions began to Italy from China thanks to Marco Polo. It notifys you a lot about Italian food culture that something so basic became related to Italy even though it did not originate there.
Anyway, food is a key element of Italian culture. Therefore, the food is easily important part of this restaurant. Of course, a great Italian restaurant will have a great wine list, a clean and elegant decor, and wonderful service, but a good Italian restaurant are certain to get by on great food alone, despite the fact that they have a crummy wine list, poor service, which has a dingy decoration framework.
By the way, if you leave an “Italian” restaurant hungry, it’s definitely not authentic. A white tablecloth and high bill do as opposed to a great bistro acquire. Frankly, I can’t stand those fancy Italian restaurants in Manhattan that charge a fee $400 for a morsel that allows want to stop for a slice of pizza during your studies home. A great Italian ristorante will leave you full, not stuffed, but full.
The second regarding a great Italian restaurant is each month. The service will be warm and professional, even so, not overly friendly. Recognized orders are taken and the meal gets rolling, this service membership should be nearly invisible. Run — don’t walk — from any Italian restaurant where the waitperson address the table like this:
“How everyone doin’ tonight?” when ladies are seated at the table. This is most un-Italian of them. An Italian would never call girls “guy.” During spaghetti-and-meatballs-type places, the waiter might say, “How is everyone today?” The won’t tarry with small talk in the white-tablecloth places, not fortunately ones, however. It is all about the meal at the same time comfort.
The third aspect of one great Italian restaurant is the ambiance. I don’t know what it is, but Italians are able to create a wonderful atmosphere anywhere. I’ve eaten at places in strip malls in suburbia of Denver — as un-romantic an environment as have to — that come close to great. A truly outstanding Italian restaurant will just have a certain feeling from the minute you walk in the door, a warmth and a glow that can’t sometimes be described.
So the priorities are food first, service second, and a ambiance final. If all three are met, you say that a great Italian small business.
