Analyzing Italian Dining Culture: Wine, Water, or Cocktails?

ok I make this video in Italian because
I have a question for Italians
my question is in the United States
when you go to a restaurant and very normal to receive a glass of cocktail
and drink a cocktail TOGETHER with the meal
but in italy,
it is very normal to drink wine,
water,
coke,
soda
or a beer with a pizza
I have never seen – never seen –
a glass of cocktail or a cocktail on a side
dish at a restaurant in italy (strong liqueur,
not spritz)
and My question is: is this a cultural difference…?
or maybe
maybe restaurants can’t give a cocktail….???
are attentive to this
tell me help me 😅
