My Italian great grandmother served a dish with pasta only first. After that we had the meatballs sausage and or braciolle, and some fried chicken thighs. Salad was always last. No bread was served as that was what they ate during the depression and was forbidden on her table.

AND ITS SAUCE not gravy LOL

Ya know I think that I am going to have to claim # 14 also- being hit with a spoon. I think that I was hit at dinner one night because I made the mistake of asking for more sauce instead of gravy.

Now I'm not the one arguing with you. Call it sauce, call it gravy, I don't care what you call it, JUST GIVE ME SO MORE.

But I'm sure that Papa N's headstone clearly states that it's gravy not sauce.

One thing I forgot to mention was eggplant parmigiana, which I 'm sure was served. I never liked it though. Can't imagin not having bread. Even now I 'm always looking for a good loaf of Italian bread, which is nearly impossible to come by in the Bay Area.

I'm curious, where was this? I think generally in New York / New Jersey it seems to be gravy, and sauce elsewhere.
