Spaghetti and meatballs exist separately in Italy, but you probably won't find them together on a menu. This "classic Italian meal" was actually created by Italian-Americans.

"Italian salad dressing" doesn't really have roots in Italy. Although Americans use this dressing for everything from salad to marinating chicken, it just isn't a thing in Italy. In fact, pre-packaged dressing is almost unheard of in Italy. Oil and vinegar are brought to the table whenever a salad is ordered and the waiters never ask what kind of dressing the customer would like."

You likely won't find garlic bread on an authentic Italian menu. Thick, toasty, smothered in butter, and usually covered in cheese, garlic bread is a staple at many Italian restaurants in America. But you won't find this treat on tables in Italy, at least not the way Americans know it.

Combining seafood with cheese is a no-go in Italy. Italians are very religious about mixing cheese and fish or seafood, it just isn't done

Although common throughout the US, it is rare to get a plain, single slice of pizza in Italy.

American portion sizes are very different than Italian ones. On an Italian menu, you will find pasta served as a "primo" or first dish. It's an appetizer portion that is often followed by a meat, seafood, or vegetable main dish.
