Most Popular Types of Italian Food

Italian food has become a beloved cuisine worldwide. The delicious handmade pasta dishes, fresh herbs and vegetables, and rich sauces make Italian food a true delicacy that transcends the test of time. Dating back to the 4th century BC, Italy has had a long-standing tradition of food and culture. In the North, a diet rich with fresh fish, rice, and pasta is common, while the South focuses more on meats (including game), cheeses, and the smooth flavor of olive oil.

As time has gone on, many traditional Italian dishes have been discovered by cultures around the world with remarkable admiration. Pizza and pasta have become instantly-recognizable dishes, and Italian food has made its mark on the world. Today, more people are getting a taste for Italian food beyond pizza and pasta by exploring all that Italian cuisine has to offer.

The Most Popular Italian Dishes

When it comes to Italian food, there’s something for everyone. Indulgent pastas, classic pizzas, and full-flavored meat dishes are just a few of the hundreds of Italian dishes to choose from.

One of the most sought-after Italian dishes is fettuccine alfredo. This dish combines tender handmade fettuccine noodles with a succulent cream-based sauce. Tossed with butter and sprinkled with parmesan, fettuccine alfredo remains one of the most requested Italian food items around. At Aversanos, we offer many different customizations for your fettuccine alfredo, including chicken, scampi prawns, seafood, and pesto fettuccine options.

Another popular item of Italian fare is pizza, of course! A well-known family favorite, pizza is a filling and delicious dinner choice, with flavors that everyone is sure to love. Here at Aversanos, we have an extensive pizza menu, including a handful of speciality pizzas designed by our head chef. All of our pizza dough is prepared fresh daily and baked in our brick ovens, and we now offer gluten free dough as well.

For those in search of a true Italian classic, is a tasty choice that stays true to its roots. Thin pasta noodles are paired with a tangy and perfectly-spiced ripe tomato sauce, topped with homemade sausage meatballs and finished off with parmesan cheese. Our spaghetti at Aversanos is made to order with the freshest ingredients possible. Customers can choose from traditional meatballs, sauteed mushrooms, or spicy hot Italian sausage options for a twist on classic Italian fare.
