Italian cuisine is only good when your only frame of reference is other European foods. It's like talking about the best thing on the menu at McDonald's
Granted curry of any kind is miles ahead of most european foods I have tried but Italian can be quite comforting as well. Pasta has a special place in my heart.
I had this one Singaporean guy visit me and say basically the same thing, and then he said there was this dish i had to try. And it just tasted like Umami The Dish™ to me.
Turns out, people typically enjoy the cuisine they grew up with and that's not wrong. To imply that it is makes you annoying.
The point of Italian food is not that it is the best in the world. What is nice about it is that there is a lot of variety, it can be quite healthy and most Italian people take pride in it and can cook relatively well.
