Question

Why do italian resturants serve pasta with a spoon? Wouldn't a fork be better?

Answer 1

People use the spoon to twirl the pasta on with the fork

Answer 2

Your supposed to use the spoon to twirl the pasta with a fork...hence...pick up the pasta with  the fork, place it in the spoon and use the fork to twirl it. It's a lot neater and easier to eat.

Answer 3

They bring you the spoon to twirl the pasta on if you aren't skilllful like me, you weren't supposed to leave your fork on the salad plate they took away.
