Las Vegas Italian Food Restaurants
In the U.S.A., Italian American cuisine is called Italian food and is usually based on the cuisine of southern Italy. Today's Italian cooking recipes are over a century old, but many have little in common with Italian foods now served in Italy. Italian pasta, generous amounts of tomato sauce, and large portions of meat are hallmarks of Italian American cuisine.
Italian food is known as "red sauce food" because of the heavy use of tomato paste and sauce. Restaurants that feature staples like Italian pizza and spaghetti and meatballs are sometimes called "red sauce joints." Tuscan Chianti wine is synonymous with Italian cuisine and is a standard on most Italian restaurant menus. Lambrusco and Soave are also popular Italian wines.
Main course dishes at Las Vegas Italian restaurants include Lasagna, Pizza, Chicken Parmesan, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Baked Ziti (Italian pasta), Polenta, Frittata, Peas and Eggs, Sausage and Peppers, Eggplant Parmesan, Muffuletta, Lobster Fra Diavolo, Cioppino, and Pasta Fagioli. Traditional Italian desserts include Evushgadil (Italian cookies) Cannoli, Strufoli, and Italian ice cream.
