When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: @Vincent Yes but NY isn't the whole world. I remember an American in Switzerland explaining what a pizza was to me 40 years ago and I didn't actually eat one until I came to Italy ten years later and I had come from London. OK for younger people.

sure, Jim, but Martina is translating in 2012.... probably sushi would have created problems for us 20 years ago, and spaghetti to our great-grandparents :-)

Inter-Tra
: antipasto can be everything, therefore I would insert 'affettati', 'cold cuts'/'deli meats'

: "antipasto ala italiana" (all'italiana), as seen in a top restaurant/actually there was also "pollo Ala (name of restaurant)" and I thought they ment the brand

: I thought of that too, and yes it is correct, but it seemed not only old-fashioned but strange to use the French word, unless on the menu of a pretentious "international" restaurant

I love eating in pretentious international restaurants just a long as somebody else is footing the bill.
