1. You eat bread with every meal.

Having scali bread with dinner is just part of the norm, and when you go to restaurants, you need bread and oil on the table asap.

2. You celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

During Christmas, your family cooks enough seafood to feed an army. Anything from scallops in bacon to octopus are annual treats!

3. You have a constant supply of tomato sauce.

There is never a day when pasta is not a dish served. Aside from always having a fresh stockpile, you know how to cook a killer sauce.

4. Jarred sauce is not real sauce.

You didn't even know jarred sauce was a thing until you met non-Italians. Real Italians know that the only real sauce is homemade.

5. You have more cousins than friends.

Having a big family is just part of the beauty and territory of being Italian. You and your crazy aunts, uncles, and cousins know how to have a good time, and there is always a wedding, christening, or birthday to celebrate!

6. Your house is made of tile.

Italians know how to keep it classy, and your house is dripping with tile floors and granite countertops.

7. Loud is the only volume.

With so much family, there are multiple conversations happening at once, and everyone talks above the average 60 decibels.

8. The average guest list is around 200 people.

With so much family, comes a ton of friends. Italian weddings are big, long, and so much fun!

9. Your friends don't understand.

Non-Italians don't understand when you tell them you're having a small gathering which means only 50 people.

10. Vino e caffe.

Italians make the best wine and brew the strongest espresso! There is always a stockpile of wine at your house, and you know how to make a mean espresso.
