Does the stuff at Cantene really taste like italian cooking? I'm reading about shrimp and chicken cutlet parm and 'gravy", but, does it taste italian or like it's trying to be italian?

"Gravy" is a term for New York/Americanized Italian. I don't believe chicken parm, or anything parm or slapped in a hero for that matter, is made anywhere in Italy. I'm not even sure you can find the stuff outside of NY, CT, NJ & PA. But don't quote me.

I understand about gravy and all that. I guess what I mean is, does it taste like italian sauce cooked by an italian?
