While some of the most popular dishes associated with the Italian culture include a tempting slice of pizza and a heaping plate of pasta, there is much more to the world of Italian cooking. Throughout the many regions in Italy, the distinctive styles of cooking and selection of local ingredients influences each dish. Italian food is typically enjoyed as a multi-course meal. When Italians get together with friends or family to eat, it is more than sitting down in front of the television with some meat and veggies; they make an event out of it, and it usually spans the course of an entire day.

Join Alex Marini from Gina’s restaurant for a demonstration and sample of good things Italian. Salute!
