Our guide to Italian restaurants in Temple
Italian restaurants in the US span two related traditions: Italian-American cooking – red sauce, chicken parmigiana, baked ziti and generous portions that grew out of immigrant neighborhoods – and regional Italian cooking that follows the menus of Rome, Tuscany, Sicily or Emilia-Romagna more closely, often with fresh pasta made in house.
A full Italian meal is traditionally structured in courses: antipasti, a pasta course (primo), a meat or fish course (secondo) and dessert. Few diners order all four, so most restaurants are happy for you to share starters and treat a pasta as your main.
