Certainly seemed fairly different to me when I visited - I was more used to northern Italian food. NB I should have been clearer - I don't mean that the food seemed spicey in absolute terms, just that compared to other Italian food I had tried there was a noticeable use of some spices. Edit: Also possible I was selecting the spicier items from menus!
