Though some foods are so iconic that they seem to have existed forever, many of the most familiar dishes on Italian-American restaurant menus have interesting histories that begin more recently than you would think. Read the brief stories below, and the next time you are at a pizza restaurant enjoying a nice slice of deep dish or a bowl of pasta, you will know a bit about the origins of what’s on your plate.

Fettuccini Alfredo Pasta in a delicious white sauce, called pasta in bianco, has been a staple of the Italian diet for many years, but the famous version known as fettuccini Alfredo originates in a small restaurant in Rome in the 1920s. Legend says that a restaurateur by the name of Alfredo could not find any food that would satisfy his pregnant wife, except a dish of wide noodles dressed with butter and Parmesan. When famous Hollywood actors ate in his restaurant a few years later, they loved Alfredo’s fettuccini and popularized the dish back in the Melbourne.

Marinara Sauce The most familiar and ubiquitous of Italian sauces, tomato-based marinara was unknown on the peninsula until traders brought tomatoes back from the New World in the 16th century. Folk tales say that sailors (mariners) aboard vessels bound for the Americas invented an acidic tomato sauce that would not spoil on their long sea journeys. Today, marinara sauce is a staple of Italian-American cuisine.

Pizza The earliest Italian pizzas were small and thin. Pizza Margherita, featuring tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil, was supposedly first served to an Italian queen in Naples in 1889. The basic toppings of tomato sauce and cheese are common to almost all styles of pizza, except the most contemporary. Though a New York restaurant served the first pizza in the Australia, other cities soon developed their own version of this timeless food.
