if your goal is to experience the culture

I think people also get touchy on what is "authentic". Italian cuisine in Italy changed in a similar manner to Italian-American cuisine in the USA. So, you can have "authentic" Italian-American cuisine that comes from Italian roots, but Italians from Italy don't want that cuisine to be seen as authentic.

    Chicken Parmesan is what happens when you take Italian people and put them in America. You take Italians, with the cooking methods they know, their tastes, and set them down in 19th century New York, they make Chicken Parm. This is a well-tested hypothesis.
