Original Fettuccine Alfredo in Rome - Why Do Italians Hate This?? 🇮🇹

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.

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.

My dad's side came directly from Italy during WW2 to escape. We were taught to use large spoons to twirl pasta around a fork. Never a knife at Nana's house for homemade pasta. And she made a cheese sauce just like this, very simple but lightly added garlic and some olive oil with sausage and artichokes on the side. This is NOT American but very simple Italian fare from before the war and as was stated below we would never order this or marinara in a restaurant because we eat both of these at home all the time. I miss my Nana, and I miss her amazing but simple food from her homeland.

I LOVE THESE TYPE OF FOOD TRAVEL VIDEOS. marks take on food with more of a bourdains no reservations type of vibe. really appreciate marks energy all around

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.

What a blessing to be doing what you love and in the process enjoying the best dishes in the world.

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

you know its a restaurant for tourists when the first page of the menu is written in english lol

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!

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

Mark! Your videos never cease to amaze me! Thank you!

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.🙏🏼🤍🌶️😁

Great history lesson as well as showing the great food. Love your videos!

We visited friends in Rome two years ago and it’s true that Romans show a marked disdain for fettuccine Alfredo. They said, “who is Alfredo” when I asked them about it. That said, true Roman Carbonara is so much better than Alfredo ever could be.

Mark, I absolutely loved your pause and voice over during your fettuccine experience... explaining the history behind it. Made my day!

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.

I love how you weren’t using the spoon correctly then just decided the pasta couldn’t be twirled 😂 the spoon is there to twirl it in, not just to push it around lol

I love having butters and noodles with parmesan from leftover spaghetti noodles 🍝 ❤!

Mark trio's your video is unremarkable I love them. You provide history, education, enjoyment and entertainment all at one time!!!💕😍😋

i can definitely see how this would be a nourishing and helpful dish for new and nursing mothers. postpartum care and the special foods prepared for it in other cultures is so fascinating, and such a big part of food culture - i'd love to see this in one of your videos please!
