It is a known fact that Italian cuisine is loved and cherished not just in parts of Italy, but all over the world. We see many variations of Italian dishes that have been customized to suit the regional tastes of that country. Italian cuisine is warm, textured, highly flavorful and thoroughly wholesome, one that is infused with spices. Either it is meatballs with spaghetti, pasta bolognese, ravioli or world famous selection of pizzas, one can never get enough of Italian delicacies.

Italian cuisine adds a wide range of ingredients to their pasta, including meats, fish, vegetables, fruit, potatoes, rice, corn, Italian sausages, a tantalizing array of sauces, and a variety of cheeses and tomatoes. It is distinguished by dozens of shapes, including spaghetti (thin rods), fusilli (swirls), rigatoni (tubes), and lasagna (sheets), among many others.

Italian pasta meals are generally known for their simplicity, focusing on a few ingredients at a time, despite the variety of elements used overall (preferred fresh).

Italian Food Scene in Toronto

The interest in Italian food in North America, and particularly in Toronto, started a while back. It has since grown, and it has also made it possible for foodies to open their own cafes and small-scale restaurants in a variety of cities, including but not limited to Mississauga, London, Kitchener, Waterloo, and St. Catharines. Pizza, as they say, "pizza makes anything possible," thus the love for Italian cuisine is still going strong and will undoubtedly expand in the future. This is true whether it comes to wholesale Italian food, Italian specialty foods, real Italian spices, or Italian restaurant food goods.

Especially on weekends, a typical Italian supper comprises of four or five dishes. Meals are regarded as a social event and might run for hours. They are seen as a chance to spend quality time with family and friends. However, due to the needs of today's working society, a traditional Italian lunch on a workday may just consist of two dishes, a side dish, and the standard wine.
