In the photo you see another small Italian car. If I am not wrong this is a Fiat Cinquecento. I guess this is not the best car to hang out with your girlfriend, for an obvious reason.
Its time to learn something about the local cuisine, probably the most international cuisine anywhere. I am sure you have, at least once, tasted the "pasta" and the "pizza".
The most typical Pasta specialties are: Cannelloni, Gnocchi, fetuccine, Lasagne, Maccheroni, Raviol, Spaghetti, tagliatelle, Tonnarelli and many other "i" ending words. All of them, of course, should be served "al dente" with different sausages. A normal meal consists of an antipasto (appetizer), a primo piatto (pasta or soup), a secondo piatto (meat or fish) sometimes with a contorno (vegetable) and normally with salad.
