Though this dish is related to and likely derived from genuinely Italian dishes, under this name it is certainly an American dish, created in New York City in the early 1970s. The canonical story of its creation ascribes it to Sirio Maccioni, then owner of Le Cirque, in 1974. Soon it gained popularity as an unlisted special at the restaurant, and from there spread rapidly across the country.
