Patriotic Italian Rice and Olive Toothpick Skewers

I dreamt I went to a Chinese-Italian fusion restaurant with my family. My sister and I were served white rice with some of the grains dyed green and red to match the Italian flag. The rice was sprinkled with black pepper flakes. One of my relatives ordered an appetizer, and the waiter took out a bucket of what I thought was more rice, but was actually a lot of red and green olives in the approximate size and shape of rice. The waiter then began to place the olives on a toothpick one by one, and this was going to continue until either the olives or the toothpicks ran out if I hadn't woken up. I was also served a spaghetti and quadretti mixture with watered down marinara sauce.
