Nando’s Italian Kitchen

Our story really started centuries ago with the fall of the Roman Empire.  Many different cooking variations, techniques and preparations were formed at that time.  Over the years those expanded throughout the regions and thus Italian cuisine evolved into one of the “richest” cuisines ever.  Special dishes and methods were attributed to the influence of surrounding countries such as France and Central Europe.  Every region of Italy was known for a special cuisine transforming the term “regional cuisine” because basic foods and spices were available throughout those regions.

North of Italy is known for risottos while northeast Italy is known for multi-cultural food.  Central Italy is known for tortellini and the south (Naples) is known for pizzas.

From there, Italian cuisine evolved over the ages with preservation methods since refrigeration did not exist.  Italian cuisine is one of the most “authentic” cuisines ever introduced to the world.  There are unique flavors with the introduction of spices into the dish and only Italians can do spices right!!
