Italian Appetizers Hot Antipasto - Cold Antipasto Antipasto -- before eating, before the meal, or the Italian first course are the accepted definitions. Antipasto is more than that. Antipasto excites the appetite; it churns the gastric juices, and it is an introduction to the pleasures that we are planning to digest. Primi Piatti Dry Pasta Fresh Pasta Risotto Polenta Gnocchi Zuppa-soup First plate, actually, the first course. The Italians consider pasta their first course, and for the most part, risotto or polenta are first courses. However, both polenta and risotto may accompany the entr�e as side dishes. ai Ferri The Italian Grill Cooking on the grill is an important part of Italy's food culture. Italians love the grill, and they cook all courses on the grill. The entre is the preferred meal item to grill. Piatti del Giorno - Entrees The Sea and Waters Farm and Game The part of the meal some of us are waiting for, not all of us and not all of the time. Some of us look at it as the main attraction of the whole dinning experience. Then there are folks who prefer pasta or dessert. A quick and easy recipe, such as veal piccatta, may be all we eat on a hectic day, and it is great with a side of salad. Verdura, Contorni - Vegetables For the most part, are a side dish. Yet, there are full course vegetable dishes, and in Italy salads are often eaten after the main course. Dolce - Dessert In Italy the final course of a meal, enlightens the meal on a sweet note. Dolce, sweets are not reserved just for the end a meal. They may be snacks in-between meals.
