I'm originally from western NY and our Italian restaurants always carried those dishes. It was considered standard fare. Based on that I doubt one only has to be from a large metropolitan area to encounter that type of Italian food. I expect you have to be in an area that has a larger Italian population that serves authentic Italian food. I would also not pay an $8 split fee. I guess they feel they can get away with it, with all the snowbirds back and restaurants are packed. Thanks for the heads up.
