Sequence of the food eaten by Italians
In any case, however, for the sake of the chronicle, a traditional meal consists of an appetizer (antipasto); a "primo" (first course) of rice or pasta in its numerous forms, plain or combined with various sauces and trimmings; a secondo (meat or fish course) accompanied by contorno (vegetable or green salad). After the cheese (formaggio), fruit (frutta) is served as well as a choice of numerous other desserts: cakes, pastries and sweets (dolci), ices (gelati) or frozen cakes (semi-freddo). A young wine is usually served in 1/4 (quarto), half (mezzo) or one liter (litro) carafes (sfuso). Ask for a wine list if you prefer better quality bottled wines. There is a wide choice of mineral waters available. I prefer the lightly bubbly (leggermente frizzante) Traditionally the meal ends with a strong, black espresso coffee. The frothy cappuccino dusted with cocoa is also delectable.
