To me, the Italian one from DiBruno Bros. in Philly (cost me $23 shipped!) tastes far superior. The American one seems more like the consistency of peanut butter (very thick and made with more "fake" ingredients I think), but the Italian one seems a bit runnier, for lack of a better word. It's also not completely creamy- there's still small chunks of hazelnut in there. If I had to choose a close comparison, I'd say the Italian version has the consistency of a thick honey.
