Reddit user Sticcia posted a gloriously detailedย Italian Pasta Mapย from Taste Atlas, which accomplishes to primary goals: 1) making us incredibly hungry,

and 2) breaking down popular Italian pasta dishes by city and region

The map even includes photos of each dish, making for simple cross-referencing with the menu and ensuring there are no surprises once your dinner is delivered.
Italians appreciate one of lifeโ€™s simplest pleasures, pasta, and have concocted it in ways so tantalizingly delicious that travelers come to Italy just for a taste.
To the north are hearty dishes like Lasagne Alla Bolognese and Pizzoccheri Alla Valtellinese. Down south, youโ€™ll find thinner noodles and a lot more seafood.
No matter the region of Italy that most calls you, be sure to follow the mapโ€™s golden rule and kick the Fettuccini Alfredo to the curb.
