"Italian food traditions are becoming more and more popular with the American public. The general perception is shifting from a predominance of Italian-American classics to a more in-depth knowledge of regional and local cuisines. Starting in the 1980s, many restaurants chose to launch what was to become known as northern cuisine, a label that does not make much sense, especially in Italy where each town is extremely, even belligerently, proud of its own dishes." [Parasecoli, 2004]
