Italian-American cuisine

Uncommon card · No. 191195

Italian-American cuisine (Italian: cucina italoamericana) is a style of Italian cuisine adapted throughout the United States. Italian-American cuisine was created primarily by Italian immigrants, and the cuisine has been shaped throughout the years by various waves of immigrants and their descendants, called Italian Americans. As immigrants from the different regions of Italy settled throughout the various regions of the United States, many brought with them distinct regional Italian culinary traditions. Many of these foods and recipes developed into new favorites for the Italian immigrant and Italian-American communities, and, later, became embraced by Americans nationwide.
