Mama Mia! Italian food must be one of the most travelled cuisines on the planet. There are not many corners of the world that you cannot find pizza and pasta. Even squeezed in between other countries cuisine, you can find pasta menus because…. People. Love. Italian. Food.
Even the country itself, screaming art, architecture, history, sun and beautiful scenery. There are very few people with a bad thing to say about Italy. The food has most certainly been inspired by its rich history and culture. The creamy tomato bases, the stringy cheeses and many, many different shapes, colours and sizes of pasta. It’s simply a food lovers dream. With that in mind, let’s look at Italy’s favourite dishes (with a Steakhouse nod to our pasta menu, of course). What are the most popular pasta dishes? Risotto Hailing from Northern Italy, the risotto is cooked in many different ways. Creamy, rich and cheesy, the dish is usually prepared with rice and steadily cooked in a broth.Our Risotto ai Fungi is made with delicious, earthy wild mushrooms, truffle pasta and parmesan. You can upgrade the dish with either chicken or striploin (100g).
f you’d like to upset an Italian, you could argue that Marco Polo brought the dish from the Far East in the 13th century. After all, spaghetti does bare similar looks to the noodle. We’ll try for now, however, to keep in the Italian’s good book. Their good cook books.
