Italy, mostly known for its food and fat mustachioed people making pasta. There are only two cities in Italy, Rome and Venice (sometimes Sicily if you need [[The Mafia]]!). Neither city seems to contain a single building constructed after the 17th century. Rome is heavily populated by gourmet chefs, effete fashionistas and handsome, Vespa-riding homewreckers all too eager to give young female tourists a romantic ride past the Trevi Fountain -- ohFountain—oh, and most famous landmarks are within five minutes of each other, too. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is usually found here as well, as opposed to, you know, in ''Pisa''.
 
Venice, meanwhile, is chock full of handsome, gondola-riding homewreckers all too eager to give young female tourists a romantic ride under the Bridge of Sighs. Either way, men: if your wife or girlfriend steals away on one of these intimate little tours, you're probably flying back home by yourself.

Apparently, Tuscany has swallowed up the rest of the country, as all the surrounding countryside consists of tomato farms and vineyards. If anybody's got any kind of sound system, expect to hear it blasting either "Funiculì, Funiculà", "O Sole Mio", "Santa Lucia" or some famous [[Giuseppe Verdi]] aria.<ref>"Santa Lucia"/"Stella del Mare" has been exported to Lutheran Sweden as a popular Christmas carol with a text full of references to snow, winter darkness and the arrival of the Queen of Lights. Few Swedes actually know of its origins and get puzzled when they hear it in Naples, like in the old ''Tom & Jerry'' cartoon when the protagonists step of a cruise ship there.</ref>
 
Female Italians are usually dark haired beauties, feisty and wildly slutty, yet for some reason are also very faithful and jealous of their man. In other words, [[Spicy Latina|Spicy Latinas]]s through and through.
 
Expect plenty of [[Gratuitous Italian]].

The trope is named after an American chain of casual dining restaurants.

* With his very large family, his love for wine and opera, women swooning all over him, and oh yes, his outrageous accent, [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] wrestler Santino Marella seems to hail from this version of Italy. Of course, since his [[Face Heel Turn]], he only ''thinks'' women swoon over him. He's much funnier this way.
