Does this place count because I love it. I haven't been in many, many years and I am glad to see it is still in business. The garlic steak is amazing.

And yes, fresh or dried pasta with truffle or jarred sauce or just pecorino cheese & pepper is fine italian cuisine. as is my own cheaper steak version of Bistecca Fiorentina, which still needs to be cooked before reaching medium.
I am saying that you can get both authentic and americanized versions of those 3 in many major American cities. I read your post as only being americanized.
