Five dishes you'll find in most Italian restaurants!

Italian restaurants serve up some great food, many of which have the same dishes. Here are some of the top dishes that you'll see on most menus across the world:

1. Pizza

2. Lasagna

3. Bruschetta

4. Chicken Parmigiana

5. Fettuccine Alfredo

You shouldn't have a problem finding multiple recipes for these classics in the cookbooks featured below. If a lighter fare is what you're after, the vegetarian based books offer some options.

Of the books on this page, I own a few. I recommend the Carmine's book, the North End cookbook (I'm from Boston, can't help but like this one), and anything from Lidia Bastianich is a great find.
