Pretentiousness

I am a native English speaker, and have been speaking french my whole life pretty much. I'm learning italian right now and am making fast progress, I think languages come easy to me. Either way, I feel pretentious when I go to restaurants and pronounce and italian/french dish the italian/french way when I have no accent speaking in English (though occasionally I will sound french due to being raised on both). I feel weird purposefully saying it wrong and being corrected, but I feel equally odd saying it right and getting made fun of. Does anyone else experience this?
