    I will never forget a wood fired pizza that I had in Sicily nearly 40 years ago. It was made with an ancient wheat grain. Till this day, I remember the perfect perfumed thin but chewy crust, with ingredients so fresh and vibrant. The cooked prosciutto, mushrooms, olives, basil and mozzarella di buffala were all top quality. NOTHING will ever beat this pizza, NOTHING.

      You will get the experience. But, to avoid the tourist thing, you have to take one month to spend in a countryside. You can anyways visit some famous or urban place, but avoiding touristic it’s very difficult. Don’t worry, the best thing you can do is to take your time and try to discover. So helpful is getting some historical matters, to improve the understanding and getting curious about things that are spread everywhere. Try to talk with locals or even better to get suggestions by somebody who live or lived here.
      I wish you to have yes moneys but time for the most.

    For Italians, Italian cuisine is primarily how their mothers make the food based on regional traditions. It is difficult just to say "Italian cuisine" -- it is more accurate for an Italian to state that this food that I am eating in New York is not like how my mother cooks based on our town/region and the local products. An Italian from Veneto has a different palate than a small town in Campania.

      Cacio e Pepe is one of the most difficult dish to make...so it is going to be really hard to find a good one outside of Roma...regardless, that is a good rule of thumb, eat what it is most traditional from the region/city you are visiting, even better if it is something seasonal (so with ingredients that are fresh and not with things that cannot grow in autumn for example)...don't worry, even with those restrictions i gave you....every city, let alone every regions in Italy has so many dishes that you are not going to be limited, trust me.

One thing I’ve noticed is while you’ll are in Italy I’ve never noticed that you have eaten crema pasticcera on crepes. Out of all the places I’ve tried it in Italy my upmost favorite is a small little stand that sells the upmost best melon gelato. I fell in love with Bologna and their people right there. I asked the worker what is that sauce she put on the crepe order before me. While I had only ordered a melon gelato she made me a crepe and gave it to me to try! Everywhere we went in Bologna the people were the upmost sweetest to us. I have been searching for an authentic crema pasticcera recipe. Not a heavy custard but more like a cream.

The NY Italian community is basically taking Sicily using a giant crane and dropping it in NY Harbor
    If you're willing to take a NJ Transit train from NY Penn Station to Trenton, NJ, Trenton has their own style of pizza called the Trenton tomato pie. Trenton tomato pies are considered pizza than a tomato pie because unlike a thick tomato pie, they are very thin.

    For the second pasta dish, the use of eggs is a big difference. Free raged chicken eggs taste difference than most store bought factory farmed eggs.

Which is to say that the food is authentic and very good, particularly for the US, but it's not top tier in Italy; however, if you've been to Italy it will be good enough and if you haven't it will be near the top of the list of Italian food you have eaten.

    Agreed about a few things
    Cacio e Pepe, especially made well, is pretty difficult to find at a lot of US restaurants. Parmigiano Reggiano is also extremely expensive in Boston. You can find it in any Whole Foods, but $18 gets you one of those small wedges as you said and it's not really meant to be used sparingly in a lot of pasta dishes.
    The best thing to do is just learn to make a lot of these dishes at home because it's mostly a matter of learning some techniques since many of the ingredients just focus on simple, quality ingredients.

I became very disappointed in pizza when I went back home to Michigan 😂 I’d also never had a simple spaghetti al pomodoro before and it blew my mind
    I’ve been enjoying trying my neighborhood Italian-American restaurants and just found that the place down the street has cacio e pepe, which I’ve never had before. We also have an Eataly, so I’ll have to add all of it to the list of things I want to try! And now that I’ve realized I can easily find Cento and Mutti at virtually any grocery, and even store brand passata that I’ve heard is very good, I am regretting the Prego sitting in my cupboard! I grew up on Prego though; it’s comfort food.

      It's all a personal preference. For me the best pizza I have had is from Detroit (Detroit style) but there are lots of great types of pizza that are good in there own right. Same goes for other Italian and Italian-American food. You just have to try different local restaurants and you will eventually find some great options wherever you are.

    Welcome to NYC. I see you are at the Flatiron location. I wonder how that compares to Eataly in FiDi where I dine. I’ve never tried Flatiron’s cannoli but Little Italy has the Cannoli King. Have you tried it their cannolis? Plus, visit Arthur Ave’s Little Italy in the Bronx. It’s just a couple blocks long and the restaurants only take cash. However that area has the older Italian generation and you might find closer to the real food for less $$ bc it’s NOT Manhattan.

    There is pizza in America that can blow your mind if you are open to a different style than the Neapolitan style. This style has tremendous flavor but the crust style is chewy for the most part with some crisp maybe at the crust. We have pizza in America with dough that has amazing character and flavor and crispness. You need to go to New Haven Connecticut as a starting point. And I am Italian yes so I know some things.

    I was in Italy this spring and wasn't able to get cacio e pepe TWICE while I was in Rome :( So when I was in NYC this summer we ate three times at Eataly and I finally got my pasta. It was very good but I still imagine Italy would have been superior. I did have margherita pizza in Naples while I was there and I thought the one I had at Eataly was really comparable. Eataly was the best Italian food I have ever found in a restaurant in the USA.

They started out as a food truck with a full pizza oven built-in and they would go all over the state and they still do but they finally got a brick and mortar restaurant recently and it is 100% the best pizza I’ve ever had and literally the only Pizza I can tolerate.

    I’m curious what city this couple lives in. She said she doesn’t often see Cacio e pepe in restaurants? Really?? It is widely available in NYC and very good versions at that. The same goes for authentic Neapolitan pizza just like the one he’s raving about in Eataly. I know many places that do it really well, just as good or better than many places in Italy. That actually applies to pretty much any Italian dish. I guess many there are a lot of people who just don’t realize the depth and quality of the culinary experiences available in NYC. Greatest food city in the country if not the world! You name it we have it! Any the best version too!

    In NYC, I go to Venchi for my gelato craving. I have never had the gelato at Eataly, but I do shop there sometimes when I want to cook Italian food but it is an expensive option. Now, I ate at the pasta bar closer to the entrance for pasta and had an experience very close to what I had of pasta while I visited Italy and I personally would recommend Eataly for someone in NYC looking for authentic Italian. However I am not Italian or Italian American and have only been to Italy once I just know what I had in Italy so I realize your tastes are different and you have a right to like or dislike what you want to. I agree with you on the pizza there-it is good for authentic Italian pizza in NYC and for the US. I do love the cannolis too at Eataly but no, in NYC, I prefer the cannolos at Ferrera or Rocco’s honestly. Thanks for the review of Eataly and it was great seeing y’all visit it! It is one of my fav markets in NYC, especially for authentic Italian food.

    As in design, simplicity is key as well. However, simplicity is also harder to pull off because each element carries so much weight and has to be placed and measured perfectly. There is a dish in the Tre Venizie region called a Bolito Misto which are 5 boiled meats with in a simple clear broth with 4 ramekins of condiments. Not much to it but it is very difficult to do. I thought is was an "Eh" dish when I saw it on the menu. Then I heard 2 chefs talking about it. So I ordered it, and was blown away by it's purity and the broth was like I was tasting the soul of cooking. No other way to describe it. Here in the states "more is better,' not always the case. "Less is sometimes so very much more," especially in authentic Italian, Italian cooking.

    Off the bat:
    Aqua (frizzante o senza gas)
    Pasta: I’m convinced that Pasta dishes has to do with the zona aqua di Italia and for reference to USA not the same.
    Pizza: It’s not that anyone followed how to make it. AGAIN, the tomatoes grown in Italy from Volcanic earth with the water make A HUGE difference. It’s not that it’s not good, some know including the eggs used for the crust.
    Imports of certain thing will always have to deal with import costs. This includes all Cheese, Meats, and other. The MOST expensive thing to import base on weight is Italian Water. All water depending on GAS or NO GAS. So if you find that store that imported the Water from Italy BUY BUY BUY. This includes Wholefoods water which imports actual Italian water from the east of Italy.
    Finally, Desserts: this is so optional considering that in Italy the local Buffalo Milk, water and other local environmental ingredients change the favor of these desserts.
    Summary: the ‘hidden ingredient’ is italy to get the tastes and sounds. Like that Is my summary about why things are different in Italy/EATALY.
