Nonna Apprentice. Why were so many dishes pasta or pizza? Where were all the beautiful meat and vegetable and seafood dishes? No-one seems to know how to make real Italian any more. I keep searching for a proper Italian restaurant (in Qld Australia) but they all do pizza and pasta as though nothing else ever existed.
Because they’re all too Americanized by now, probably 🙄. lol
