One of the things I love most about being Italian, are the big Sunday dinners with family and friends. If you have ever been to an Italian house, you know this is a regular get together and the cook (or cooks) go all out. Today, I am excited to share the above collection I created on Foodie, so you can experience a true Italian Sunday Dinner! The collection is my….
Featured in the collection above are some tasty treats, that are perfect for a traditional Italian sunday dinner. The more people the better. I, myself, make homemade pasta sauce and meatballs (my grandmother’s recipe). It’s one of my family’s favorite recipes. I’ll have to try to share it with you all sometime.
Featured in my collection are antipasto goodies, salads, soups, pastas, and desserts…doesn’t that tiramisu look divine?? The big thing about Italian Sunday dinners, is it gives the family a chance to enjoy each others company. That’s the key. The food is always great, but the company is better.
So, the next time you are planning a Sunday dinner, why not plan it Italian style. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with Italian! What is your favorite Italian dish?

I am addicted to Italian food. It is by far the favorite food I turn to. Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant which is Italian foods. I am going to have to try some of these meals you shared. What a great list!
I’m not Italian, but I might just have to make our next family dinner Italian. Those dishes look delicious.
Italian food is my absolute FAVORITE – my parents are actually over in Rome right now, and we begged my Mom to ask around for some cooking tips!
Those cannoli’s look DELICIOUS!
Italian is my favorite cuisine of all time. Lasagna is probably my favorite thing.
Cheese Tortellini is my favorite! Although I do like to mix it up with crab or mushrooms too.
Italian food is my favorite! It is so easy to make, delicious and filling. I have never made a Tiramisu before, but it is on my must make soon list!
Growing up Italian, Sunday dinners meant family and lots of food, something my Colorado German/Scottish husband didn’t understand. For us Sunday meals are one of only a handful one that we get to sit down together as an entire family and not rush through. Great meal ideas…and I LOVE cannoli!
Italian food is my favorite and I grew up on it since my mother is half-Italian. I love being able to prepare these traditional recipes at home.
I only do well with dinner when I plan everything so thanks for the great ideas to save!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Italian food too! I think I can make some pretty good dishes too!
All of those look amazing!I could go for some of those tortellini right now.
I work every Sunday but the first one off I may have to try some of your recipes. These look like a great way to spend dinner.
I *love* italian food. I have to say I’m a fan of the classic cannoli!
Can I come over for dinner? It all sounds so good. I love Italian food. Problem is I inevitably end up eating way too much.
AHHHHH!!!! Yum, Yum, and Yum some more! Italian food is my favorite and I’ll for sure be adding some of these recipes to the rotation!
I don’t do much italian besides spaghetti and meatballs. I’m not really that great of a cook but hubby is. I’m sure he’ll love this.
I love Italian food. It is so yummy. All these dishes look fantastic and yummy.
It really depends on who’s cooking it as to what my favorite Italian dish is. If I’m doing the cooking, I love a simple rigatoni. If my aunt is cooking, definitely manacotti. If my Mom is cooking, it’s lasagna all the way!
I’m stuck on the desserts. I totally want to try the cannoli! But I also love pasta fagioli!
Italian food is a big favorite of mine, and I certainly miss my grandma’s cooking. I would practically kill for a good cannoli!
Oh fried ravioli! I love those. That’s about all I’ll eat at Olive Garden.
Pasta e Fagioli is my favorite soup to eat at Olive Garden. That with a plate of Fried Ravioli and Cannelloni to end the meal… why that would make the perfect Sunday Dinner!
Oh my gosh, I totally want a cannoli now!
I love Sunday dinners with the family, it’s a time to get together to catch up, laugh, share, and create new memories. The Prosciutto and Fontina Cheese Fritters look amazing!
Italian meals are my favorite, a nice cheesy lasagna and I am in. I think everyone loves Italian food
Gracious, you take me back to Jersey and Sundays at mt in-laws. Discussions were very vocal, kids were underfoot, someone managed to get their feelings hurt, but the food, man the food was good!
