What makes good Italian food and a great Italian restaurant? This is what I think.

Italy has a wonderful tradition of fine nutrients. Italian food’s importance to Italian culture is not to be overstated. It is one of 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, it has a wide array of accelerating seasons and soil types. This means a rich diversity of ingredients for food.

It is a peninsula, meaning might be nearly surrounded through sea but also connected to the great Eurasian land bulk. 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 regarding noodles and pasta, you probably think of Italy, but those wonderful inventions reached Italy from China thanks to Marco Polo. It informs you a lot about Italian food culture that something so basic became associated with Italy even though it did not originate there.

Anyway, food can be a key element of Italian culture. Therefore, the food is easily important part belonging to the restaurant. Of course, a great Italian restaurant will have a great wine list, a clean and chic decor, and wonderful service, but a suitable Italian restaurant can have by on great food alone, even when they have a crummy wine list, poor service, which has a dingy decoration schemes.

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 ensure. Frankly, I can’t stand those fancy Italian restaurants in Manhattan that charge $400 for a morsel that forces you to be want to stop for a slice of pizza in route 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, but is not overly friendly. Recognized orders are taken and the meal gets rolling, there isn’t a should be nearly invisible. Run — don’t walk — from any Italian restaurant where the waitperson address the table like this:

“How all of you doin’ tonight?” when ladies are seated at the table. This is most un-Italian of them. An Italian would never call a woman “guy.” There is spaghetti-and-meatballs-type places, the waiter might say, “How is everyone at some point?” The won’t tarry with small talk in the white-tablecloth places, not numerous ones, anyway. It is all about the meal and your comfort.

The third aspect of a great Italian restaurant is the ambiance. I don’t know what it is, but Italians could be seen as able to create wonderful atmosphere anywhere. I’ve eaten at places in strip malls in the suburban areas of Denver — as un-romantic an environment as can be — arrive close to great. A truly outstanding Italian restaurant will just have a certain feeling from the second you walk in the door, a warmth and maybe a glow that can’t often be described.

So the priorities are food first, service second, and a ambiance information. If all three are met, you are recommending a great Italian restaurant.
