A typical menu:
- Antipasti eg. cold cuts (parma-ham,salame etc.),olives,sun dried tomatoes,artichokes…
OR
- soups like minestrone
- Any kind of pasta/sauce
- Meat or fish with vegetables/salads
- to finish off: cheese and fruits
It's also regional as north italian would also make a risotto as a starter or main course

Food staples? Depends upon where you were in Italy.
The one thing all locations had in common, however, is that they ate lots of vegetables and usually pasta too. Italians, until recent years, were, by US standards, a poor people, so they ate whatever was in season and could be grown by themselves and grown locally. As a child, I remember my immigrant grandfather always had chickens roaming around in the back yard because he preferred that to buying them at the store. At least partially, I think, because raising his own offered a cost savings.
The culture went to Australia along with immigration, and effected things as much there as anywhere else. Italian immigration effected Australian culture no differently than it effected the culture in the USA or South America.
