Also interesting I noticed in Italy they do not use much sauces and/or gravy in their food it was more of a drizzle to accentuate the food but not the main ingredient over powering the other ingredients in the dish I found it interesting. Another observation I noticed were the portions seemed much smaller than these family portion sizes in America seems like there is a major difference between Italian food from the motherland and the Americanized (Family Style Portions) Italian food we find here imho. Both are great but I truly enjoy authentic Italian food but not so much the American style Italian imho.
