ROME, ITALY - Today we’re in Rome and going to eat the original Fettuccine Alfredo, one of the world’s most famous Italian dishes - pastas!

Fettuccine Alfredo has quite an amazing history, originating from a variety of similar pastas in Rome. And so while many people think it’s a pasta that’s not really Italian - it’s actually 100% Italian and invented in Rome, Italy.

However, through a series of events linked with Hollywood celebrities, this Italian food pasta became extremely popular and famous throughout the world and especially the United States.

So why do so many Italians hate Fettuccine Alfredo? Well the fact of the matter is that there are many bad versions, and when it became so famous in the United States and around the world, it came at the sacrifice of soggy noodle and bad cheese.

BUT…

When you go to the original source in Rome, it’s a totally different story and an amazing pasta that you absolutely need to try when you’re in Rome!

  • Pasta with butter and cheese is what Italians cook when they don't have time to make a proper sauce. Speaking as a man with Italian father from Naples.

  • @KCNwokoye
    What a blessing to be doing what you love and in the process enjoying the best dishes in the world.
  • In Italy, fettuccine Alfredo is not popular for a simple reason: We make pasta with butter at home, it is a waste to order such a simple dish in a restaurant. Your videos are always very "appetizing", congratulations.
  • @Fake-wp9up
    you know its a restaurant for tourists when the first page of the menu is written in english lol

    As a young cook in North America, I was shown Alfredo as butter, cream and parmessan cheese with a few grates of nutmeg. I was aware that the original had no cream. As I gained experience with cooking pasta, I learned that the starchy pasta water was often used to emulsify with oils like butter to make a sauce. That's exactly what we see here with the original method of cooking Alfredo sauce.
  • this looks incredible. your energy is great, must have been nice for the staff to witness someone so hyped to be there experiencing what they do best
  • Such enjoyable and informational content. Thank you Mark for always bringing the best videos to me and my family. Blessings upon blessings to you and your beautiful family.🙏🏼🤍🌶️😁

    I have a new appreciation for Fettucine Alfredo, pasta, butter, quality Parmesan cheese makes a rich sauce, well stirred, maybe with a sprinkle of pepper & truffles when plated, delicious!
  • @danieldydzak691
    My dad and mom ate their three days in a row in Rome ! That's how good it was
  • @lunix3259
    I get that some people say it's dumb to buy expensive food when you can easily make it at home but as someone who don't have access to those things, this is a great info
  • I love having butters and noodles with parmesan from leftover spaghetti noodles 🍝 ❤!
  • @mickydee1289
    ohhh...i totally forgot about this channel! So relaxed! Love it ! :)
  • @XeroJin84
    pasta with butter and parmigiano (pasta burro e parmigiano) is something you eat when you're sick or when you don't have anything else in the fridge

    "The golden fork and spoon for you sir YouTuber" lol 😂

    I really like seeing the decorative plants with the little lights. I haven’t been inside a beautiful restaurant in years….. The pasta looks fantastic, definitely.
