I think it has more to do with people's expectations of Italian food. American Italian Vs real Italian is an apples to oranges comparison.
Real Italian is more subtle flavors with lighter sauces and the pasta dishes focus more on the pasta rather than the sauce.
American Italian is much more aggressive flavors with stronger garlic, heavier sauces, and cheeses. American Italian pasta dishes focus on sauce rather than the pasta itself.

That is exactly right. I was used to eating New Orleans Italian food which is much spicier, stronger, and more flavorful. The actual Italian food in Italy was not like that. That is my point.
Obviously, the Italian food in Italy is the real thing and what I grew up with from New Orleans came through the filter of Louisiana influence for a hundred years. But, I did not know that when I went there. Now, I do.
