It's >12 euro for a pizza. Absurd.
And do you even tip for it?
For 12 euro I can have 2 or 3 Margherite.
Wow, simply wow.

My question is: how do American pay for... a pizza margherita in a restaurant?

Let's try, ok?

Post a menu(the card where you can order the dishes you want) from an "Italian" restaurant, or even a normal one.

It looks tasty. Maybe the mayonnaise isn't the best choice, but whatever.

>>5746845
Next time use a dish for your salad, don't waste a pizza.

>>5746841
Do American really drink milk during meals?
Here in Italy we have it just for breakfast.

(Personally: plain water or a little glass of red wine)

Sarà che a me non piacciono troppo i miscugli e le cremine che strabordano dappertutto, ma non mi dice proprio nulla.

Absolutely no.

You're welcome, my friend.

I don't want to say I feel sorry for you because you cannot taste delicious foods we have, I would be very annoying; but I'd like to invite every people to enjoy Italy and its culture, despite all of the true problems we have.

Of course, I admit it: Italians are very proud of their cousine, but not all every Italian can cook well nor cook good pizzas. There are many pizzerias I would never visit again.
There are even regional differences between pizzas, so that a person used to eating "Sicilian pizza" find the Tuscan or Roman one too thin; a Tuscanian could say that Neapolitan ones are too "big and stuffed".

But the point is: local people will surely tell you the best place where to eat, because the only thing an Italian cannot stand is eating bad.

Is it aubergines and arugula? And the cheese is?

From an Italian: I wouldn't eat it in a million years.

>>5744639
I looked on Google Images and they look like italian "supplì".

Strange, I thought American people hated Italian food.

>>5744623
Strange, but if people like it, I'm fine.

>>5744612
I've never seen a "Neapolitan rice ball". What should it be?

Oh, and the Sicilian ones are called "arancini", because they resemble an orange; they can be filled with ham or meat sauce(ragù) and peas.

Is it an apple strudel?

>>5744586
Is pineapple in pizza a thing in America? Sweet pizzas are rare in Italy, and they usually are the cooked dough with nutella or with apples and sugar.
At least, they are considered as desserts.

Every "soft" cheese is pretty bad with a calzone, because it doesn't cook properly in it. That's why mozzarella di bufala is never used neither stracchino is. Yesterday I ate a calzone stracchino and salsiccia(sausage) and it was moist.
Seriously, avoid.

Seriously: which kind of cheese do the American use?

We use mozzarella di bufala when it is asked; otherwise a kind of cheese very similar to it(it's called "pizza-intended mozzarella)

Ragù is just meat sauce with carrots, celery, onion, oil, pepper.
First you brown the "soffritto"(carrots, celery, pepper, onion, or sweet onion, oil salt and pepper)
Add slowly the meat; when all is browned, add tomato sauce.
>>5538558
You cook pasta first, then in anohter pan you make them "jump" with oil, garlic and pepper-

>>5538458
Pasta aglio olio e peperoncino is literally the simplest dish in Italian cousine. It only requires oil, garlic and pepper. Cook the pasta and put the aforementioned ingredients while it is cooking.
Done.

>>5538437
I know both eggplant and aubergine, but I prefer using the latter.

And about the parmesan, its name stem from the city of "Parma", even if even Sicily and Campania claim that it has been invented in the aforementioned regions, my friend.

>>5538428
He said "Italian" dishes, not "Italo-American" dishes, my friend.
>>5538429
I only know aubergines parmesan, though.

>>5538418
Pasta al pesto is tremendously simple, my friend, as all types of pasta I mentioned.
>>5538422
They are an invention of Italo-Americans, my friend, I've never seen them here.

>>5538407
Pasta al pesto, pasta all'amatriciana, risotto allo zafferano, ziti al pomodoro, lasagne, pasta alla carbonara, spaghetti alle vongole veraci, pasta al forno, ribollita, zuppa di pane.

I've the terror of burning the kitchen down, due to its ancientness.
And I nearly killed myself by cooking some pasta, actually.

>>5535730
I've never tried, my friend.

You know, if you want to eat a good Caprese, you can always come to Italy.
