As the son of Italian immigrants (who moved here 40 years ago), I've just learned to think of it as "Italian American" food/culture that evolved/diverged over the last 100 years. It's still painful to hear things like 'pasta fazul' or 'mozzarelle' being passed off as Italian.

Interestingly, some of the "faux-italian" dialects of Italian American culture are descended from dialects that went extinct in Italy, but were preserved in Italian-American immigrants.
