A perfect carbonara, for example demands precise timing and quality ingredients-genuine guanciale, Pecorino Romano, and just the right egg-to-pasta ratio. Without finesse, it turns into scrambled eggs and greasy noodles.

Italian food in my experience is very hit or miss, especially when compared to consistently bold and flavorful dishes from like Indian, Chinese Mexican restaurants. Italian dishes are very simple. Hardly 3-4 ingredients means there's very little room to hide behind complex spices or sauces. A tomato pasta, for instance, can taste rich and vibrant if made with ripe San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, and high-quality olive oil—but bland and watery if those ingredients aren't top-tier Because of this Italian food often feel underwhelming. I've had good Italian food but also very mediocre Italian food

In contrast, Indian and Mexican cuisines have pack layers of flavor with their use of spices, herbs, and slow cooking techniques. It is like a explosion if flavour in every bite you take. Even a street taco stand in Mexico or a small restaurants offer meals bursting with depth and intensity. Both Indian and Mexican food is them more forgiving when it comes to ingredient quality. Italian food, on the other hand, is heavily ingredient-driven, especially in dishes like Caprese salads, risottos, or bruschetta. If the cheese isn't fresh, or the bread is stale, the dish simply falls flat.

Italian food is also the same 3-4 flavours being played around. Italian food is good don't get me wrong much better than all other cusines in Europe but overrated imo.

Every Italian here rn
