LAS VEGAS CLUB’S GOAL: HIGHLIGHTING AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CULTURE

Las Vegas club’s goal: Highlighting true Italian culture

The mobsters in “The Godfather” trilogy and the food served in many Italian-American restaurants don’t accurately reflect Italian culture, according to Casa Italiana di Las Vegas. For example, popular offerings in America such as fettuccine Alfredo and chicken Parmesan are not traditional Italian dishes, said Claudia Costantino, marketing director for the southwest Las Vegas-based club.
