Millennials are more likely to dine on Italian food than any other generation - because it “looks good” on social media. The study of 2,000 adults found almost three-quarters of 22 to 35-year-olds describe Italian food as their favorite type of cuisine, compared to just 42 percent of people over 55 years old.

And while 63 percent of young adults love Italian food because it tastes good, one in 10 admit eating the cuisine - because it is “Instagrammable.” Almost one in 20 also like Italian meals as they can impress friends and family with their cooking, while 15 percent claim they can make dishes look luxurious without having to spend too much money.
