I think Italians are like the Brazilians of Europe; the beautiful and tanned.

Plus they do have the best food in the world.

They do and the best atmosphere,decor and music.

the chefs are a bit of a pain to work with.very passionate though and will do anything for you after a shift. i love sitting down with all the staff with a glass of wine and some pasta at the end of service:D

Well, any freshly made foodstuff is of course preferable, generally speaking. But whereas Italian housewives used to make fresh pasta every time it was on the home menu, nowadays it would be impractical due to the hectic workaholic lifestyle to be seen everywhere...:o

Its a shame because stopping and cooking your self something nice can be theraputic.
