When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

writeaway
: people around the world know what pesto is. it's unnecessary to overload the menu with the recipe as well /if one had to explain in detail all the pasta shapes and names from all over Italy, that would be a book in itself. A fusilli by any other name??

Maybe, but this is not always true for torchietti, I myself had never heard such a name. And speaking from my experience, restaurants appreciate explanations that will save them time and trouble. Do you think it would be better to spend time explaining?

: si il pesto non c'è da spiegare... però per i torchietti metterei una spiegazione almeno dire che è pasta.. non sono conosciutissimi in tutto il mondo.. rispetto per esempio agli spaghetti o a una pizza..
