What is the difference between Calamari and Squid?

[Edit]

Calamari is the dish prepared using squid.

Answer

Calamari is simply the Italian word for squid (similarly, Spanish calamares). It denotes nothing about the size of the animal or preparation of the dish.

Menu compilers maybe refer to calamari thinking that it sounds more appetizing than squid.
