6Garlic Bread

Garlic bread, a simple yet delicious side often served with Italian-American dishes, is not a traditional part of Italian cuisine.

While Italians do enjoy bread as an accompaniment to meals, the practice of slathering it with butter, garlic, and sometimes cheese before baking is more of an American creation. In Italy, you’re more likely to find bread served with olive oil or alongside specific regional dishes.
