There's a lot more to Italian then pasta and tomatoes and cheese.
Lots of those little islands have very distinctive dishes with fish.
Also, wine.
Edit: Cured meats. Knew I was forgetting a big one.
If I'm not mistaken pasta was actually brought to Italy in form of noodles from Asia. I think tomatoes came from Spain.
