Huh?? I really cant believe you actually posted that here ( even if you did think it
) What gives you or any American the right to pass judgement as to how Italians should have their meals and run their restaurants?
Do you think Italian restaurants are losing money???
Do you think a nation where people take food seriously should adopt the insane American way of trying to eat a three course meal in under an hour?.
Dining is " an experience" you will find you can order each course at a time and not end up stuffing yourself with an entree you pre-ordered even though you are already full.
This your first trip Europe is it?
FYI you will find the same in France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland in fact just about everywhere ( In the world..maybe)
Try and enjoy the other side of life ( or dining) and not expect others to be "just like home"
Really whats the point of travelling????
