>>I like authentic Italian food.

Define please.

Would that be authentic Italian food as defined in the U.S., which is mostly authentic Italian food from southern Italy and Sicily 70 years ago, from the WWII era, and locked in time?

Or would that be true modern Italian food, which is very different, as I found when I visited several years ago?

BTW, I now almost invariably laugh at seeing “Tuscan” as an adjective on a restaurant menu here in the U.S., as it almost always is something I never saw on a restaurant menu in Tuscany.

That would be almost anything you find in a family-run restaurant in just about any part of Italy that I have visited.
