There is something you should really know. It’s important to fight the decline of civilization.

Here it is: There is no such thing as “spaghetti Bolognese” in Italy, let alone in Bologna. You can only have tagliatelle al ragù.

Also, these simply do not exist in Italy. Ever:
1/
-Pepperoni Pizza (ask for it, and they’ll bring a pizza with peppers, not salami)
-Garlic Bread? Nope, go for a bruschetta
-Macaroni Cheese. Closest thing I can think of is “pasticcio di pasta al forno” with the leftovers (literally, a mess, as that’s what macaroni cheese is)
2/
-Penne Alfredo (there is something called “pasta al burro”, nothing to do with creamy pasta, and not with added chicken!)
-Panini. It just means sandwich, it’s not grilled, no butter. VERY different from “tramezzino”
-Meatball Spaghetti, Hawaiian Pizza:crimes against humanity
3/
Now you know. You can confess and repent.

(We are tolerant towards sinners in Italy, especially if we are the sinners ourselves. No one in the world repents as well as the Italians.)
