What makes good Italian food and a great Italian restaurant? This just 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 on the list of central elements, and why don’t it be? Think about Italy’s geography for a second:

It runs the distance from north to south. Therefore, offers wide array of skyrocketing seasons and soil types. This means a rich diversity of ingredients for food.

It is a peninsula, meaning can nearly surrounded through sea but also connected to the great Eurasian land mass. There is an abundance of fresh seafood and foreign ingredients from neighboring lands.

It sits between Europe and Africa in the Mediterranean. All Mediterranean cultures have excellent food traditions from North Africa to Lebanon and Israel, France, Greece, Spain and, of course, England.

When you involving noodles and pasta, you probably imagine Italy, but those wonderful inventions found Italy from China thanks to Marco Polo. It informs you a lot about Italian food culture that something so basic became related to Italy even although it did not originate there.

Anyway, food is a key element of Italian culture. Therefore, the food is the most important part from the restaurant. Of course, a great Italian restaurant will have a great wine list, a clean and stylish decor, and wonderful service, but a first rate Italian restaurant can have by on great food alone, whether or not they have a crummy wine list, poor service, and a dingy decoration scheme.

By the way, if you leave an “Italian” restaurant hungry, it’s in no way authentic. A white tablecloth and high bill do not a great bistro make. 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 aspect of a great Italian restaurant is there isn’t a. The service will be warm and professional, even though overly friendly. Since the orders are taken and the meal gets rolling, 200 dollars per month 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 while dining. This is most un-Italian of them. An Italian would never call ladies “guy.” In spaghetti-and-meatballs-type places, the waiter might say, “How is everyone for dinner?” The won’t tarry with small talk in the white-tablecloth places, not fortunately ones, anyway. It is all about the meal and your comfort.

The third aspect connected with a great Italian restaurant could be the ambiance. I am not sure what it is, but Italians are 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 there is — that come close to great. A totally outstanding Italian restaurant will just have a certain feeling from when you walk in the door, a warmth and a glow that can’t really be described.

So the priorities are food first, service second, and a ambiance information. If all three are met, you can recommend a great Italian small business.
