Answers: You can always have chicken. Chicken marsala is very good. For an appetizer, you could get an order of calamari. When properly cooked, they're a great finger food. If it tastes too rubbery, then it's over cooked. Take it back and get another order. And there's nothing wrong with a rustic Italian steak. For dessert, tiramisu is a great finish. You could also get some gelato or sorbet if you want a lighter finish to your meal. I hope this helped you out a little. Happy eating! yep Yes go to one that actually is Italian not Italian sudo Americana. Go to one you can not pronounce it's name and you will see that Italian cooking is about much more than pasta or pizza! Yes. I usually order Chicken Marsala. I don't always like pasta with the red sauce, so I order chicken. You should try it. Its very good!! Yes order the veal parmagiana soup salad and bread.
like a caeser salad not a side salad. Sure. Lots of Italian restaurants also serve seafood, beef and chicken. Chicken or eggplant parmesean yes there is much more to Italian food than eating pasta with marinara or veal....
try a saffron risotto, osso bucco, seafood dishes, poultry (chicken & duck), polenta, timpano.... Seafood is usually prepared simply so as not to overpower the delicate flavor. I've had some wonderful fish dishes with sides of fresh roasted vegetables and a side of bread to sop up any juices from the dish. Yes of course! Try Caesar's salad, then order a shrimp cocktail, then order your main dish: Fish Fillet with American sauce, and take white rice as a side order! Yes! At Carraba's the other night, I got a chicken breast stuffed w/ melty cheese, topped w/ a wine/butter sauce that contained mushrooms, and served w/ mashed potatoes on the side. eat a white pizza, yum If you have any Italian favorites you might try asking the chef for it, instead of ordering off the menu. You might try asking for beef carpaccio, or stuffed pork tenderloins in wine sauce. Certainly!!!!!
