I was surprised on my first visit to Italy that there was an abscence of
resturants serving other cuisines. The resutrants were simply called that,
no "Guido's Italian Resturant" there.
Then I realized, this is the home office for food, despite what another
nearby country thinks. Who needs anything else?
