Many of you will agree that Italian cuisine is not only about food. It is about the atmosphere of celebration and joy that Italian dishes create. Pizza for a fun party with friends, Bruschetta for get-togethers with wine, Tiramisu for a romantic dinner, Lasagne for family dinners. Italians were able to find an approach to everyone, through the language of their dishes.
