Ristoro dal Patriota. The first meal I ever had in italy. Was not terribly hungry due to the jet lag. The waiter suggested. Fish. And I just asked for a salad with it this was an entire grilled turbot With a salad that filled an eighteen inch pizza pan. Sitting outside 2 blocks from the trevi fountain that is how you make memories. absolutely wonderful meal, incredible experience and I will be back next trip.
Carbonara is probably my favorite pasta dish. I remember the evening my husband proposed to me, as it was on a walk we took after I made him a huge meal of carbonara, but since he didn't have any dried pasta, I made the pasta from scratch in his kitchen. Now, we're expecting our first child in about seven weeks, and I can't wait until the little one is old enough to fall in love with carbonara too.
I love carbonara too, it's really simple but it's packed with so many flavors that my taste buds loves. Thank you for sharing your precious memories with me, I hope you do make carbonara and relive these happy memories you had growing up. Cheers!
Well carbonara is not an old dish and still evolving within italy. Romans tried alot of different stuff earlier like garlic etc before. Alot of good chefs mix pecorino and grana padano or parmigiano aswell.
I hate social media but these kind of channels like Vincenzios are the absolute best! This is so EDUCATING, you actually learn the hard way how to make better dishes. Thank you for doing this!
Now, since meeting you a few days ago (a week ago?), you know I'm going to watch this. It was a pleasure to talk to you and your wife. Thanks Vincenzo, you changed my cuisine! By the way...you make me jealous with all the wonderful experiences you had in Rome with one of my favourite dishes!
Excellent video, thank you. I feel like all of the carbonaras were amazing for different reasons. They all had excellent ingredients, kept it simple, but varied slightly in technique. I can't think of another recipe with just five ingredients that can come out so beautifully. Everyone should be making this!
I actually ate Carbonara at Felice, and indeed it stands out in my memory as not only the best Carbonara I have ever eaten, but also one of my favorite meals! Thank you for this video!!
When I went to Rome a couple of years ago, I had the best Carbonara in my life. It was a small restaurant, maybe 10 tables at most, hidden in a tiny street. When you walk next to it, you could see an italian Nonna sitting in the front window, literally making all the Pasta by hand! One of the best meals of my life.
Vincenzo, your 2023 carbonara looks excellent and, by looks, keeps getting better and better with every new videos you create and upload. Please try Ristorante Abruzzi in Rome (closed Saturdays) near Piazza Dodici Apostoli. In my opinion, it is the quintessential carbonara (made with rigatoni). The guanciale is crispy. The quality is on such a high level that it’s extremely difficult to replicate. My guess is that the restaurant has a secret technique or method that they do not tell the public. I would say every authentic restaurant in Rome has their own secret methods for preparing their own version of carbonara. I myself want to know the secret touch.
You're right, every authentic restaurant in Rome has its own secret touch for carbonara. 🍝😉 It's fascinating to discover different techniques and flavors. I'll definitely check out Ristorante Abruzzi and see if I can uncover some secrets for you. Stay tuned for more delicious recipes!
I made my bestie carbonara one night when we were staying at a hotel near Little Italy in San Diego. Limited kitchenette, but sourced my ingerdients from a little Italian market around the corner. Guiancale, spaghetti, eggs, olive oil, parmisana (there was no grater in the room and that's all that was pre-grated in the shop). She LOVED it and took leftovers to work the next day and texted me that it was still awesome. I was winging it and wanted to make something for her to thank her for inviting me on her business trip. So few ingredients, horrible kitchen utensils and cooktop, but beautiful results. 10/10.
Your videos are truly the best when it comes to italian food. They make our lives better and healthier and are always fun to watch. Since it is the season of barba di fratte/agretti, do you know a delicious pasta-recipe, which you can share with us? Maybe a non-veggie and veggie-variant?
I wish I had guanciale in my fridge right now, I would love to make carbonara! Also, I'm glad that your son is picking up italian. It's a beautiful language and I'm trying to learn it as well. Great video and I hope you'll post more like this one!
Hey there! It's great to hear that you're interested in learning Italian too. Carbonara is one of my favorites too - it's all about the guanciale! Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more traditional Italian recipes 🇮🇹🍝
Thanks for the support, it means a lot! 🙌 Glad to hear you appreciate my commitment to preserving Italian culinary traditions. Let me know if you have any recipe requests! 😉
I went to Rome in 2015. Directly to the left of the Roman Pantheon (if you are facing it head on) there was this pizza place that had really good square shaped pizza's that they fold and serve to you like a sandwich. The have a very liberal selection of flavours that you wouldn't expect in Italy (but perhaps Rome is more innovative than I'm aware of). I swear one of them was carbonara and it was soooooo delicious. One of the best I've ever had.
Well said. Rome has really perfected their cuisine especially they carbonaras. They are known to have amazing Carbonara dishes that everyone surely loves, the richness and the depth of flavor these pasta dishes have are superb in Rome. Some of them even use high quality eggs like those from cruelty-free farms which makes the egg taste amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I love it.
Every one of your videos is more amazing than the last. I can't travel at the moment, so I really appreciate how your videos transport your viewers in such a beautiful way. Grazie!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I'm happy to hear that my videos can transport you to Italy virtually. Stay tuned for more delicious recipes! 🍝
Great video as always Vincenzo. I use your technique with carbonara constantly (I even made it last week) and it always comes out great. Lucky I have an Italian store that sells guanciale and it DOES make the difference. THanks so much!
Hey there! That's cool that you had the chance to experience traditional pasta dishes in Rome 😎 Keep an eye out for my channel, there are plenty more authentic Italian recipes to come! 🍝🇮🇹
Love your way of presenting basic food as what it is - simply good! Learned from your (and others 😬) to make Carbonara. Whenever I get Guanciale I go for it. But i made it with Austrian Bacon and Austrian hardchesse - and it tasted like Austrian Carbonara. Same with Swisse Bacon and Chesse. So this is a lovely dish you can give your local flavor - but always do it the right way. The cooking procedure is tje same! So, Carbonara is a great Ambassador of the Italian way of cooking!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's true that local flavors can add a unique touch to traditional recipes, but I believe it's important to respect the authentic ingredients and cooking procedures. 🇮🇹👨🍳🍝
Vincenzo, love your videos! I recently made your Carbonara recipe using guanciale from Graziano's grocery in Des Moines, Iowa...my wife is Italian and that's her hometown. It was the best pasta of my life! That said, her family red sauce is the best ever as well. Keep those videos coming! We love you in Kansas City!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Carbonara recipe and using guanciale from Graziano's grocery! Your wife's family red sauce sounds amazing too. 😋👌 Keep enjoying the videos from Kansas City! 🙌
Yes this is me responding to you. It's truly an honour to be loved by my supporters. I hope you'll continue to support me and my cooking, and I also hope you're learning from all of this too! Hope you have a fantastic day ahead.
Vincenzo, it will be my pleasure to meet you here in Athens, Greece! I can help you eat like a local and not like a tourist! I love Italian food, i am sure you will love our food also! God bless your family! Great video, always good job, thank you for all the nice moments you share with us!
going to Rom with my school this summer. I‘m very excited and with your new videos comming, i will be able to know where i have to go to eat good. Trank you for sharing original italian recipes. So i can learn and to them at home (:
Loved the video vincenzo love your content your a amazing TH-camr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest all the carbonaras looked very yummy the cream looked amazing
I had one bad Carbonara in Rome, the rest was amazing. Really made me work on my recipe. I've pretty much nailed it. One of my favorites. Great video Vincenzo!!
What a treat to see this, I make my Carbonara in a bowl like they do, it always comes out nice, I have to try to add the Guanciale oil to the cheese mix, that makes a lot of sense to me, Greta video chef, thanks. 🙏🏽
Hey there! It's great to see you trying out some traditional Italian recipes. The Guanciale oil is a game-changer in Carbonara, isn't it? 😋 Keep experimenting and let me know how it goes!
@@vincenzosplate hi Vincenzo, thanks so much for your videos, definitely want to try the oil into eggs, do you know if they let the oil cool before adding to the egg mix?
Just from watching an Indian chef make a stunning pizza which am sure you might like and the history that he has given is amazing.get those recipes I want to try to make it
What a treat to follow you on this Carbonara adventure!! I'm still working on mine! So nice to see how creamy it can be! Thanks so much for this video !❤
Don't know if you saw this sir but we are all waiting for you 😂 th-cam.com/users/shortsIA3xzOl7Lw4?feature=share Awesome channel so glad its growing Vincenzo! 🎉
My pasta cooking has improved so much since I started using your techniques. Just adding the pasta water to the sauce and then the pasta itself (and not having the pasta and sauce separately) has made SO much difference. I also use the whitest pasta I can find here (tastes much better than the caramelized ones) and buy real pecorino which our cheese shop imports from Italy. I haven't had any luck with getting guanciale from our butcher shops yet though, I might need to order online. I can't wait to try the real deal.
Hey there! It's so great to hear that my techniques are helping you improve your pasta cooking skills! Your commitment to finding the best ingredients is key, and it's awesome that you're excited to try guanciale. Can't wait to hear how it turns out! 😊👨🍳
@@vincenzosplate I found real guanciale and used it to cook Carbonara exactly like your "approved by Romans" recipe with the whole eggs. And I must say, wow. Wow wow wow. I didn't think guanciale would make that much of a difference but it does. It has a subtle but very distinct flavour. Everyone loved it! It's quite hard not to burn it though. I found that even on a low heat the fatty part hadn't molten completely before the lean parts started to burn. Luckily I had bought enough guanciale for 2 dishes so I could start again with narrower strips and that worked a lot better. So in the end it all worked out and we had the best carbonara we ever had! Topped it off with your Tiramisu recipe with eggs and real savoiardi biscuits (and some added ricotta for a bit more substance) and we couldn't be happier ♥️♥️
What I loved the most aside from the beautiful pasta that I wanted to eat all the way, was the beautiful architecture of that historical city in the background. That city exudes human history in the most elegant and beautiful way.
That is very kind of you! This was also a learning experience for me, as well as for you. I'd like to upgrade my Carbonara recipe and find ways to make it even better. I intend to share with you a new and improved Carbonara recipe soon!
Wife and I visited the north of Italy a couple of years ago and we played a game: Finding the best carbonnara and the best pizza in italy. After visiting 4 majors cities and a couple of day trips in smaller cities, we arrived at that conclusion: Best carbonnara we had was in Milan in a small restaurant near the Darsena. Best pizza was in Rome in a small pizzeria named Loffredo, very far from the city center, but close to our bed and breakfast. The owner was simply lovely and would grab a glass of wine with us simply to have a chat in the little english he knew.
I wish I could go to Rome to try these dishes. Unfortunately my kidneys won’t let me go anywhere 😢 I’m stuck on dialysis 3 days a week. Thankfully Vincenzo is here to bring the real recipes to us lovers of real, traditional Italian cuisine. If I can’t go to Rome I’ll bring Rome to my kitchen. Thanks Vincenzo.
Thank you for your kind words. 🙏❤️ I'm glad I can bring the taste of Rome to your kitchen. Wishing you strength and delicious meals on your culinary journey. Stay inspired! 💪🍝
This reminded me to restock on pecorino today. Really wish I had access to the high quality stuff, but even simple stuff from the store does the job for me. For now.
Hey there! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and that it reminded you to restock on pecorino. Even the simple stuff from the store can still make a delicious dish. 😉👨🍳
I can't wait to see your new Carbonara videos. I made your Mk. 1 and Mk. 2 versions and they were fantastic (2nd one better than the 1st). You didn't visit Luciano Monosilio?
I think something may have got lost in translation. It is carotenoids that make the yolk dark orange. Carotenoids are found in marigold flowers which are commonly fed to chickens in Europe, because of the various health benefits they provide to chickens. They are a source of pyrethrins, which protect the animal from pests. But carotenoids are also found in carrots, so I could be mistaken!
Thanks for your comment! You're absolutely right, Rome is a beautiful city 🇮🇹 And if you want to try authentic Roman Carbonara, then you've come to the right place 😎 Let me know how it turns out!
@@vincenzosplate always, amico, always. I've learnt so much from them that my daughters say "we don't need to go to Italy to have good pasta now, we have you." So, grazie mille Vicenzo.
Oh yes, I went in December and I can safely say it was the best Carbonara I’ve ever tasted in my life, albeit not the most traditional recipe, but adapted slightly for the modern palate
Mama mia! Offer me a trip to Rome with a free visit of at least one museum or ruin EVERY day and I'll politely decline. Offer me a trip to Rome with a free pasta dish or pizza etc every day to be enjoyed people watching from some restaurant or with take out and I'll be there. Added benefit, I'll probably get too fat and heavy to fly back home 😀 I love the carbonara I made after your recipe, using crazy expensive guanciale which is hard to find here (N California), but I'm gonna start playing with it a bit. And I might just buy a large sack of carrots to give to my neighbor with chickens.... I've learned so much from your channel, love what you give us!
Hey there! 😄 Thanks for your message! Your comment made me laugh so much 😂 but I’m glad you enjoyed the carbonara recipe and that you’ve learned a lot from my channel! Can't wait to hear what other recipes you try out! 🍝🍕🍴
VINCENZO!!! Brava, and grazie! My hubby plays piano/organ so well, I like the music to your video, and for dinner, he stuffed his pie hole with Amertriciana style (forgive my spelling) pasta with paperadelle, it was too spicy for me but still a wonderful dish....I prefer creamy pasta HAHA! I love when he gets tomato sauce all over his face! We bought a so sad "parmasean",so weak, I hope to try peccorino sometime! The most painfull appetizer I had to prepare was the tagliere for 2....it took so long, even with my proficiency with a meat slicer!!! I hope you mind your cholesterol after so many dishes! We need you around for more bellisimo videos 😅
Thanks for sharing your experience and enthusiasm! It's great to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the Amatriciana pasta. As for the Parmesan, I suggest trying Pecorino Romano cheese next time. 😉 Keep watching and cooking along with my videos!
@@vincenzosplate 1 year in the past, the algorithm show me your channel, and after that, I making the best pasta ever. I always love Italian food and my home country Greece, but not I making true delicious Italian food, and I like it! And one of my favorite is Gnocchi. And of course I'm always buying good quality pasta, even from Greece, no more yellow industrial pasta for me. Oh! And my most beloved pasta is carbonara, with pantseta and when I'm finding guanciale.... Your little boy will be like you when it's grow up, food enthusiasts....
A question: Are there people going to McDonald's if there are so many good restaurants in Roma? Only the tourists who were kicked out off those restaurants after having asked for Ketchup? Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your wonderful documentary video with us.
Hey there! We all have our preferences, but for those who want to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, my channel is the right place. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. 🇮🇹🍝
My mouth is watering! Looks so delicous!!! My dream is to go to Rome and try their AMAZING Carbonara and cacio e pepe etc. Love this video Vincenzo!! I bet its like non other here in Massachusetts.
I absolutely love Carbonara ... Luckily, I can get all of the ingredients including Guanciale locally here in Germany ... Now I'm going to try all of the different varients !!!
@@vincenzosplate Yeah, when I visit Rome, that’ll be the first place I go! I make it at home but the chickens around here definitely aren’t eating carrots 😂
Cmon, I needed this video half a year ago when i was in Rome but when i am back there i am gonna those restaurant. I guess they have great amatriciana as well right :)
I would love to travel to Italy before 2023 ends!! Ohhh, boy, I love your cuisine!! And I really enjoyed cooking your recipes to the restaurant I worked last summer and I will enjoy it this year as well!! Thanks for sharing, Vincenzo!!
Let me know, Vincenzo, when you're going to organize a culinary tour to Rome/Italy. My favorite carbonara restaurants in Rome: l'archetto and L'Abruzzo, both are a short walk from the Gregorian University (a 100 yards more or less). Love Rome! Love Italy!
@@vincenzosplate Okay Vincenzo, I'll add that l'Archetto had a particular pasta dish they called "Il bomb", which I enjoyed many times. In the Abruzzo, they offered the very best carbonara I ever tasted. Then I usually would follow up with maialino (?) al forno, baked piglet. You could eat it with a spoon. Now I did invite some American friends visiting in Rome to try it, but they could not stand the sight of the piglet (I made a mistake!). Too bad. We Americans want our food in a McDonald's wrapper. But I can recommend both places to you. There are other magnificent places... Would love to revisit. Italians know how to eat well and inexpensively. Thanks for so much, Vincenzo. I'm here in Maine, New England, and do the best I can to make a carbonara as you teach us in the US. Can't be done with the food I have here in the back woods. But, I am grateful for your coaching. My friends and I enjoy the best carbonara in Maine (using unflavored bacon and parmigiana, the best I can do). But it's nothing like Rome, Italy. Cheers.
Hi Vincenzo, it's dangerous to flood the whole keyboard when watching your videos without food 😄 Luckily I've found Guanciale and Pecorino Romano while traveling, plan to hone my Carbonara skills, before my family catches me up on my travel, so I can impress them with a perfect Carbonara 😋 Could you please advise me, if I can use La Molisana spaghetti integrale for Carbonara, or I have to buy I a regular one?
Hey there! So happy to hear you're planning to hone your Carbonara skills! You can definitely use La Molisana spaghetti integrale for Carbonara, it will be delicious! Can't wait for you to try it out and impress your family 🤩
What I like to do is use a really good salami (when I don't have pancetta on hand. Sorry Vincenzo. I PROMISE when I buy a home and a good smoker, I'll lear how to make guanciale!😊) and fry them in a splash of really good whiskey. Cooking on low heat will allow the drying meat to absorb the flavors of the alcohol while the pasta cook. And the trick I learned : add that sweet, sweet meat juice to the eggs to get the cooking process going! Thank you again from Canada, Vincenzo. Should we ever meet, drinks are on me! ❤
Those drinks are mine to have, please. You've got a fantastic carbonara recipe here. Just envisioning the food made me want to taste how incredible it is. I must admit, it must have been a very rich dish. I'm grateful you shared this with me about this. Learning from my audiences is a true honour.
Thank you for the awesome support! 🙌🇬🇧 It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the video from the UK. Stay tuned for more delicious Italian recipes coming your way! 😋🍝
Which Restaurant will you be visiting when you get to Rome?
Ristoro dal Patriota. The first meal I ever had in italy. Was not terribly hungry due to the jet lag. The waiter suggested. Fish. And I just asked for a salad with it this was an entire grilled turbot With a salad that filled an eighteen inch pizza pan.

Luciano Cucina Italiana 😉
You should have tried Luciano- best I had while there recently
you had to go to Luciano , the king of carbonara . It definitely is the best

Never stop improving dishes without changing traditional standards. That's what I enjoy about cooking dishes.
Well said 👏🏻
No dish is perfect
Well carbonara is not an old dish and still evolving within italy. Romans tried alot of different stuff earlier like garlic etc before. Alot of good chefs mix pecorino and grana padano or parmigiano aswell.
…so you don’t like innovation, or having ideas of your own. You must be a blast at parties.
I hate social media but these kind of channels like Vincenzios are the absolute best! This is so EDUCATING, you actually learn the hard way how to make better dishes. Thank you for doing this!
My mouth is watering it looks so good. That little boy is absolutely adorable.

I really love this channel because I love Italian food; I love to cook, and you make the best and most enjoyable videos.
Glad you like them! Do let me know if you have suggestions for me to make a content in the future.
Vincenzo, is this really you responding? Im in love with your videos! The food looks SO good!! 🥰
Yes this is me responding to you. It's truly an honour to be loved by my supporters. I hope you'll continue to support me and my cooking, and I also hope you're learning from all of this too! Hope you have a fantastic day ahead.
11/10 video right here. I am jealous and hungry and nostalgic and so many other amazing emotions all rolled into one.
Wow thank you so much 🙏🏻 this is much appreciated!
Fantastic! Real Carbonara! Delicious! 🥰
Thank you for this, Vincenzo! You made my day!
Thanks for the love! Hope you enjoyed the recipe and keep cooking with passion 🤗👨🍳
I'm intrigued with the idea of adding the oil from the guanciale to the egg/pecorino mixture. What a way to add extra flavor!
Thanks for the suggestion 😎👍 It's a classic technique for extra flavor! Have you tried it before?
Vincenzo, it will be my pleasure to meet you here in Athens, Greece! I can help you eat like a local and not like a tourist! I love Italian food, i am sure you will love our food also! God bless your family! Great video, always good job, thank you for all the nice moments you share with us!
going to Rom with my school this summer. I‘m very excited and with your new videos comming, i will be able to know where i have to go to eat good. Trank you for sharing original italian recipes. So i can learn and to them at home (:
That's so exciting! Have a great time in Rome, there are so many amazing places to eat there 🇮🇹😋 Hope my videos help you find some delicious spots!
I just back form Rome I had a good carbonara in Alla rampa. I cant live without Rome food.....its creazy
That's great to hear! Rome has amazing food 🍝🇮🇹 Have you tried my carbonara recipe? It's authentic and delicious 😋
Loved the video vincenzo love your content your a amazing TH-camr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest all the carbonaras looked very yummy the cream looked amazing
Many many thanks 🙏🏻 I appreciate!
I had one bad Carbonara in Rome, the rest was amazing. Really made me work on my recipe. I've pretty much nailed it. One of my favorites. Great video Vincenzo!!
Sounds great! Hope you could share your learning with me too.
I miss Rome and Italy. Mind-blowing deliciousness on every corner. See you soon, neighbour!!
OMG, I'm so friggin' hungry now! Great episode Vincenzo, love your content!
What a treat to see this, I make my Carbonara in a bowl like they do, it always comes out nice, I have to try to add the Guanciale oil to the cheese mix, that makes a lot of sense to me, Greta video chef, thanks. 🙏🏽
Hey there! It's great to see you trying out some traditional Italian recipes. The Guanciale oil is a game-changer in Carbonara, isn't it? 😋 Keep experimenting and let me know how it goes!
@@vincenzosplate hi Vincenzo, thanks so much for your videos, definitely want to try the oil into eggs, do you know if they let the oil cool before adding to the egg mix?
Just from watching an Indian chef make a stunning pizza which am sure you might like and the history that he has given is amazing.get those recipes I want to try to make it
Ahhaha which recipe?
The first one where the chicken eats only carrots
What a treat to follow you on this Carbonara adventure!! I'm still working on mine! So nice to see how creamy it can be! Thanks so much for this video !❤
You are absolutely welcome. Continue to practice and you'll be able to achieve perfection soon!
Don't know if you saw this sir but we are all waiting for you 😂

Awesome channel so glad its growing Vincenzo! 🎉
My pasta cooking has improved so much since I started using your techniques. Just adding the pasta water to the sauce and then the pasta itself (and not having the pasta and sauce separately) has made SO much difference. I also use the whitest pasta I can find here (tastes much better than the caramelized ones) and buy real pecorino which our cheese shop imports from Italy. I haven't had any luck with getting guanciale from our butcher shops yet though, I might need to order online. I can't wait to try the real deal.
Hey there! It's so great to hear that my techniques are helping you improve your pasta cooking skills! Your commitment to finding the best ingredients is key, and it's awesome that you're excited to try guanciale. Can't wait to hear how it turns out! 😊👨🍳
@@vincenzosplate I found real guanciale and used it to cook Carbonara exactly like your "approved by Romans" recipe with the whole eggs. And I must say, wow. Wow wow wow. I didn't think guanciale would make that much of a difference but it does. It has a subtle but very distinct flavour. Everyone loved it! It's quite hard not to burn it though. I found that even on a low heat the fatty part hadn't molten completely before the lean parts started to burn. Luckily I had bought enough guanciale for 2 dishes so I could start again with narrower strips and that worked a lot better. So in the end it all worked out and we had the best carbonara we ever had! Topped it off with your Tiramisu recipe with eggs and real savoiardi biscuits (and some added ricotta for a bit more substance) and we couldn't be happier ♥️♥️
Even young Sebastian speaks with a Roman accent, so cute and delightful.
Ahahha thank you my friend!
What I loved the most aside from the beautiful pasta that I wanted to eat all the way, was the beautiful architecture of that historical city in the background. That city exudes human history in the most elegant and beautiful way.
Couldn't agree more!
I love these kinds of videos from you, also you are great at doing those man
That is very kind of you! This was also a learning experience for me, as well as for you. I'd like to upgrade my Carbonara recipe and find ways to make it even better. I intend to share with you a new and improved Carbonara recipe soon!
Great video, Vincenzo! Thanks
You are absolutely welcome, I hope you learned something from this video!
Thank you for sharing for being so kind wish you the best, this video was amazing for us carbonara lovers 😊 greetings from Greece
Our pleasure!
Grazie Vincenzo! Your videos make me love and appreciate life more! Keep trying to perfect your endeavours is a great philosophy always…
Glad you like it. I always make sure to make my content as informative as possible.
I must confess and thank you because at-least 2 of your dishes have become staples in this household: the bolognese and the Carbonara are 👍🏻
Wife and I visited the north of Italy a couple of years ago and we played a game: Finding the best carbonnara and the best pizza in italy. After visiting 4 majors cities and a couple of day trips in smaller cities, we arrived at that conclusion: Best carbonnara we had was in Milan in a small restaurant near the Darsena. Best pizza was in Rome in a small pizzeria named Loffredo, very far from the city center, but close to our bed and breakfast. The owner was simply lovely and would grab a glass of wine with us simply to have a chat in the little english he knew.
The pizza gets better as you go south. Carbonara is truly a Roman thing. My favorite city in the north for food is definitely Bologna.
What an amazing experience, thank you for sharing these information with me, I'll definitely note all of this. 🥰🤣
I wish I could go to Rome to try these dishes. Unfortunately my kidneys won’t let me go anywhere 😢 I’m stuck on dialysis 3 days a week. Thankfully Vincenzo is here to bring the real recipes to us lovers of real, traditional Italian cuisine. If I can’t go to Rome I’ll bring Rome to my kitchen. Thanks Vincenzo.
Thank you for your kind words. 🙏❤️ I'm glad I can bring the taste of Rome to your kitchen. Wishing you strength and delicious meals on your culinary journey. Stay inspired! 💪🍝
Vincenzo eating Carbonara for every meal in Rome is what I want to see, bellisimo!
Hahaha thank you Anna 😂 that’s definitely my dream life
This reminded me to restock on pecorino today. Really wish I had access to the high quality stuff, but even simple stuff from the store does the job for me. For now.
Hey there! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and that it reminded you to restock on pecorino. Even the simple stuff from the store can still make a delicious dish. 😉👨🍳
I can't wait to see your new Carbonara videos. I made your Mk. 1 and Mk. 2 versions and they were fantastic (2nd one better than the 1st). You didn't visit Luciano Monosilio?
Awesome!
I have to go back to Rome and just eat....I can't believe I missed these places.
Maybe next time 😍
@@vincenzosplate Let me know if you ever need someone to carry your bags. Great video.
This is the reason I will visit Rome again.
Such a wonderful place to visit too!
Amazing dishes!!!
The best!
I think something may have got lost in translation. It is carotenoids that make the yolk dark orange. Carotenoids are found in marigold flowers which are commonly fed to chickens in Europe, because of the various health benefits they provide to chickens. They are a source of pyrethrins, which protect the animal from pests.
But carotenoids are also found in carrots, so I could be mistaken!
Hey, thank you for sharing this information with us! It's always great to learn something new. 🤓🍅🐔🥕
Another common trick in Europe (or at least Greece) is to add red peppers to the chicken feed for pretty much the same reason
Roma!! The most beautiful city!! It's time I had authentic Roan Carbonara!!
Thanks for your comment! You're absolutely right, Rome is a beautiful city 🇮🇹 And if you want to try authentic Roman Carbonara, then you've come to the right place 😎 Let me know how it turns out!
Amazing video, a usual. Especially loving the fact that the "cream is very creamy"
Thanks for the feedback! Always striving for the creamiest cream 😂 Hope you continue to enjoy my videos! 🙏🏻
@@vincenzosplate always, amico, always. I've learnt so much from them that my daughters say "we don't need to go to Italy to have good pasta now, we have you." So, grazie mille Vicenzo.
Awesome episode. That Ginger kid was so cool too. i think you need to watch out, because he may surpass you one day!
I'm sure he will! ahha
The pasta looked so delicious one after the other and the view, how can you top that. Can't wait to see what is next Vincenzo.
Thanks for the support, always great to hear from you! 🙌 Keep watching, there's a lot more to come 😉🍝
@@vincenzosplate
Awesome, notifications are on so I'll be sure to keep watching 🤗
I am so excited for this series.🎉
Wow thank you Alessandro 🙏🏻
Fantastic video Vincenzo
Many many thanks 🙏🏻😍
What a cute little kid he was!! 🥰🥰
Haha, indeed! That cute little kid grew up to love and cook delicious Italian food! 😄🇮🇹 Thank you for watching and enjoying! 🍝👨🍳
I have reservations at Luciano's on Monday. He's the King!
Oh, Luciano's is pretty good!
Luciano is the King of Carbonara.
Oh yes, I went in December and I can safely say it was the best Carbonara I’ve ever tasted in my life, albeit not the most traditional recipe, but adapted slightly for the modern palate
eating carbonara in Rome with Francesco de Gregori playing in the back is so childhood
Thanks for the comment! Francesco de Gregori and carbonara are always a great combo 😉🍝
My mother always made her carbonara in a mixing bowl as well. It wasn't until i saw videos on TH-cam that i ever saw the pasta put into the pan!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always interesting to learn about different cooking techniques. 😊🍝
Mama mia! Offer me a trip to Rome with a free visit of at least one museum or ruin EVERY day and I'll politely decline. Offer me a trip to Rome with a free pasta dish or pizza etc every day to be enjoyed people watching from some restaurant or with take out and I'll be there. Added benefit, I'll probably get too fat and heavy to fly back home 😀
I love the carbonara I made after your recipe, using crazy expensive guanciale which is hard to find here (N California), but I'm gonna start playing with it a bit. And I might just buy a large sack of carrots to give to my neighbor with chickens....
I've learned so much from your channel, love what you give us!
Hey there! 😄 Thanks for your message! Your comment made me laugh so much 😂 but I’m glad you enjoyed the carbonara recipe and that you’ve learned a lot from my channel! Can't wait to hear what other recipes you try out! 🍝🍕🍴
I love the soup plates, particularly @ Felice. The pastas speak for themselves...
Finally got to make this but had to use pancetta; still it was delicious . Thanks for sharing
Pancetta is a great alternative if you don't have Guanciale readily available. It will still taste fantastic!
VINCENZO!!! Brava, and grazie! My hubby plays piano/organ so well, I like the music to your video, and for dinner, he stuffed his pie hole with Amertriciana style (forgive my spelling) pasta with paperadelle, it was too spicy for me but still a wonderful dish....I prefer creamy pasta HAHA! I love when he gets tomato sauce all over his face! We bought a so sad "parmasean",so weak, I hope to try peccorino sometime! The most painfull appetizer I had to prepare was the tagliere for 2....it took so long, even with my proficiency with a meat slicer!!! I hope you mind your cholesterol after so many dishes! We need you around for more bellisimo videos 😅
Thanks for sharing your experience and enthusiasm! It's great to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the Amatriciana pasta. As for the Parmesan, I suggest trying Pecorino Romano cheese next time. 😉 Keep watching and cooking along with my videos!
Your little boy, Sebastian, is the star of the show!
And, I love carbonara.....
My son loved Carbonara 😍 he stole my plate 😂
@@vincenzosplate 1 year in the past, the algorithm show me your channel, and after that, I making the best pasta ever.
I always love Italian food and my home country Greece, but not I making true delicious Italian food, and I like it!
And one of my favorite is Gnocchi.
And of course I'm always buying good quality pasta, even from Greece, no more yellow industrial pasta for me.
Oh! And my most beloved pasta is carbonara, with pantseta and when I'm finding guanciale....
Your little boy will be like you when it's grow up, food enthusiasts....
But where's the peas Vincenzo, where's the peas!?
No peas in carbonara please ahah
Sebastian is so cute eating carbonara! 🥰
🥰🥰
I feel my diet failing just watching this.
Just consume them in moderation, it's not that bad.
A question: Are there people going to McDonald's if there are so many good restaurants in Roma? Only the tourists who were kicked out off those restaurants after having asked for Ketchup?
Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your wonderful documentary video with us.
Hey there! We all have our preferences, but for those who want to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, my channel is the right place. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. 🇮🇹🍝
Vincenzo! PLEASE put together a food tour of Italy!! I will BE there! I must go. The food looks amazing, as does the city!
Hey there! Thanks for your comment! You know what, that's actually a great idea, a food tour of Italy would be amazing 🇮🇹🍝🍷 Let's plan it!
@@vincenzosplate
I'm in!
@@vincenzosplate YES!!! That would be incredible. I'm am so there.
Carbonara!!! Best thing for breakfast😍
Carbonara for breakfast? Give me a portion of that please.
@@vincenzosplate will do!!!😋
My mouth is watering! Looks so delicous!!! My dream is to go to Rome and try their AMAZING Carbonara and cacio e pepe etc. Love this video Vincenzo!! I bet its like non other here in Massachusetts.
Its truly a one of a kind experience, it is worth every penny. Glad you like this video, I hope someday you get to visit Rome too!
I absolutely love Carbonara ... Luckily, I can get all of the ingredients including Guanciale locally here in Germany ... Now I'm going to try all of the different varients !!!
Can't wait for you to try all the different Carbonara variants! 😍 Let me know which one is your favorite 😉
My Lord, that first place with the orange cream looks amazing
Hey there! I'm glad you liked the look of that dish. It's definitely one of my personal favorites 😉👌🏻
@@vincenzosplate Yeah, when I visit Rome, that’ll be the first place I go! I make it at home but the chickens around here definitely aren’t eating carrots 😂
Cmon, I needed this video half a year ago when i was in Rome but when i am back there i am gonna those restaurant. I guess they have great amatriciana as well right :)
Aahhaha sorry, but this will be useful if you're gonna go back to Rome!
Vincenzo needs to do an American tour of carbonara or pasta in general.
Carbonara with cream? Hard pass.
@@vincenzosplate Obviously!! But I think he wants you to seek out genuinly good places in the States. I
I would love to travel to Italy before 2023 ends!! Ohhh, boy, I love your cuisine!! And I really enjoyed cooking your recipes to the restaurant I worked last summer and I will enjoy it this year as well!! Thanks for sharing, Vincenzo!!
Please do! I'm glad you found this video, keep yourself motivated and visit Italy before 2023 ends, I'd like to hear about how your experience went.
@@vincenzosplate I wish so and I'd like that too!!
If i visited Rome i would go to eat pasta at Roscioli and Felice for sure!! Thank you...
Never stop! Love food, love life!
Keep that passion alive, continue to learn and become the best version of yourself. What recipes of mine have you tried recreating?
Most of them, I'm a chef, food lover and someone who respects and values traditions, thanks for the content!
Your “Road manager” Sebastian was adorable!!! He really enjoyed your plate of carbonara 😁👌🏻
Thanks for watching and noticing Sebastian, he's a great addition to our team 🤗 Glad you enjoyed the carbonara recipe!
Let me know, Vincenzo, when you're going to organize a culinary tour to Rome/Italy. My favorite carbonara restaurants in Rome: l'archetto and L'Abruzzo, both are a short walk from the Gregorian University (a 100 yards more or less). Love Rome! Love Italy!
Thanks for sharing your favorite carbonara restaurants in Rome! I'll definitely check them out when I'm there next 🇮🇹🍝
@@vincenzosplate Okay Vincenzo, I'll add that l'Archetto had a particular pasta dish they called "Il bomb", which I enjoyed many times. In the Abruzzo, they offered the very best carbonara I ever tasted. Then I usually would follow up with maialino (?) al forno, baked piglet. You could eat it with a spoon. Now I did invite some American friends visiting in Rome to try it, but they could not stand the sight of the piglet (I made a mistake!). Too bad. We Americans want our food in a McDonald's wrapper. But I can recommend both places to you. There are other magnificent places... Would love to revisit. Italians know how to eat well and inexpensively. Thanks for so much, Vincenzo. I'm here in Maine, New England, and do the best I can to make a carbonara as you teach us in the US. Can't be done with the food I have here in the back woods. But, I am grateful for your coaching. My friends and I enjoy the best carbonara in Maine (using unflavored bacon and parmigiana, the best I can do). But it's nothing like Rome, Italy. Cheers.
Loved the slight differences and the desire to serve a good product. Now, I have to stay in Rome an extra day!🎉
Thanks for your comment, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the recipe! 🤗 Have a great time in Rome, it's such a beautiful city!
Hi Vincenzo, it's dangerous to flood the whole keyboard when watching your videos without food 😄
Luckily I've found Guanciale and Pecorino Romano while traveling, plan to hone my Carbonara skills, before my family catches me up on my travel, so I can impress them with a perfect Carbonara 😋
Could you please advise me, if I can use La Molisana spaghetti integrale for Carbonara, or I have to buy I a regular one?
Hey there! So happy to hear you're planning to hone your Carbonara skills! You can definitely use La Molisana spaghetti integrale for Carbonara, it will be delicious! Can't wait for you to try it out and impress your family 🤩
Those all looked magnificent one, out of curiousity is there a trick they use for the takeaway carbonara so it doesn't stiffen up too swiftly?
No tricks! They just make a great eggs and cheese cream so the pasta doesn’t stick
What I like to do is use a really good salami (when I don't have pancetta on hand. Sorry Vincenzo. I PROMISE when I buy a home and a good smoker, I'll lear how to make guanciale!😊) and fry them in a splash of really good whiskey. Cooking on low heat will allow the drying meat to absorb the flavors of the alcohol while the pasta cook. And the trick I learned : add that sweet, sweet meat juice to the eggs to get the cooking process going! Thank you again from Canada, Vincenzo. Should we ever meet, drinks are on me! ❤
Those drinks are mine to have, please. You've got a fantastic carbonara recipe here. Just envisioning the food made me want to taste how incredible it is. I must admit, it must have been a very rich dish. I'm grateful you shared this with me about this. Learning from my audiences is a true honour.
superb Video !! V THANKS FROM UK awesome
Thank you for the awesome support! 🙌🇬🇧 It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the video from the UK. Stay tuned for more delicious Italian recipes coming your way! 😋🍝
