    Lucky for me, I chose Basil for lunch today! I ordered the Jalapeno Cream with Garlic Tomato pasta special topped with Chicken. This dish packed just enough heat to make it super flavorful. This family owned restaurant is a must for those looking for an affordable, quick, and delicious meal. The line out the door was evidence of how much others enjoy this gem as well. Make sure you check this spot out!

    Met up with a friend at Basil Prosperi today, which is located within the 801 Grand building in downtown Des Moines. We got there at 11am (when it opens), so there wasn't a wait at all. By the time we left there was a line out the door. I think that its location is convenient for a lot of people that work in downtown. Basil's has pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches, and soups. I decided to get the Sausage and Peppers pasta. It came out very quickly and there was also 3 slices of bread with the dish. My dish was very flavorful and the pasta itself was cooked very well. It wasn't too chewy, so I would say it was al dente. There weren't large pieces of sausage, but rather minced or diced up pieces of sausage throughout the pasta. I didn't mind that, since every bite had a mix of pasta, meat and peppers in it. The meat was seasoned well and the red peppers added an additional flavor to the dish. Overall, I was happy with what I ordered and I would go back and try other dishes. I was creeping on other dishes while eating, and the sandwiches looked appealing, so I may try that next.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
