Some Americans can be finicky about foreign foods.
What Italian foods or dishes would you like to see Americans more open to?
I was able to talk my friends into trying an octopus appetizer at an Italian restaurant the other night. They all liked it. :)

Italians love innards; in Sicily they eat milza or spleen sandwiches. In Rome, they eat oxtail and pajata which is beef or veal intestine often served with rigatoni. In Tuscany, lampredotto and tripe are favorites.
We try to serve some of these dishes at Felidia, but it's still hard for Americans to fall in love with them.
