Italian cuisine is known for its regional diversity, especially between the north and the south of the Italian peninsula. It offers an abundance of taste, and is one of the most popular and copied in the world. It influenced several cuisines around the world chiefly that of the United States. Italian cuisine is characterized by its simplicity, with many dishes having only two to four main ingredients.

Many dishes that were once regional, have proliferated with variations throughout the country. Pasta, vegetables, olive oil and fish are a major part of the Italian cuisine.
