Authentic Italian

Whenever a restaurant or food item claims to be “authentic Italian,” I imagine what a real “authentic Italian” restaurant would be.  I would hire Italian people, tell them not to speak english to costumers, and only accept Euros as payment.  All food would be extremely expensive since it would be imported from Italy, but the people wouldn’t really notice since they have to convert all of their money to Euros before they made a purchase.  For added charm I would tell the cooks to be lenient on health codes, and get angry on occasion with customers.  Pizza and noodles would be available, but without much customization options, so you would have to take what you get.

As I think more about this, the more I don’t mind that it isn’t true authentic Italian.
