She made a face before she even tried it. Seemed like she already decided/assumed she wouldn’t like it. You’d be surprised how much that can affect you actual opinion of it. Edit: guys… I wasnt saying that she needed to like it… I was saying you shouldn’t judge another counties food without giving it a fair shot. Like the Americanized version of another countries food isn’t the same and shouldnt be judged as such. That’s all. If you have the mentality that something is bad before you give it a chance you will always find something wrong with it not to mention it will affect how you perceive whatever it is.
@@gaia7240 you aren’t wrong. And it could have been a smell or maybe looked unappetizing to her. Or it could also mean she didn’t give it a real chance from the start. But we’ll never know
I honestly think it looks unappetizing. I lived in Naples Italy for 5 years and when I moved to the US I was extremely disappointed in how the food looked. Like my first time at Carabbas we had the fried calamari and when I looked at the plate I was like wtf is this, this is not the shape, breading, or size of our calamari. Ours are large O shaped and lightly golden brown and salted. The texture was way off as well. Then we tried their mozzarella and caprese salad and I about cried. In Italy we ate mozzarella de bufala. prosciutto in America is just sad. In Italy you’d walk down the street of restaurants and markets had the whole prosciutto dangling from a string curing. So delicious. And let’s not talk about olives. It’s so annoying that pitted olives are more common then anything. Also pizza I’d kill for an Italian pizza. It took me years to accept that in America it’ll be so difficult to find authentic Italian pizza unless I was in places like NY. Man the fact that American deli bread last so long is insane. It’s also crazy how there are no “fresh” markets here. So I completely understand her look. I have only ate at Olive Garden twice and when I say the food is nothing Italian I mean it. If Americans went to Italy they’d be so shocked by what Italian food really is. Lol the bread at Olive Garden is a joke. Nothing at Olive Garden is Italian but I understand why American families eat there, it’s the closest most think they’ll ever get to fine dining. I’d strongly recommend staying away from chain restaurants and eating at mom and pop places it’s the closest you’d get to authentic in America at an affordable price.
@@loria287 that’s a fair point…. But in my opinion it’s not fair to judge the “American” version of said food by what something authentic cuisine is or should be. So because it’s not how it would be in Italy doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad. Yes it’s different and maybe it’s a lower standard that what your used to but that doesn’t mean it will taste disgusting. For instance if you make a quality cheeseburger at home and then later get the crap they sell at McDonald’s… the McDonald’s still tastes good. Lol

Olive garden sucks. You couldn't pay me to eat it. Id rather have fresh bread from any good bakery local bakery than eat whatever science project food Olive garden sells.
The food part is irrelevant here, this woman couldn't even figure out there was a fork next to her plate. Then she holds the fork only and struggles to get it on the spoon? That is the point of the spoon, you have two perfect hands for fork and spoon if you struggle so much to get the noodle on the spoon like she was. If you're good at it, no need for spoon but has she never eaten at a table where the fork wasn't already stuck in her food for her? No one wants to get flicked with the tail of your noodle when you have to slurp it up because you don't know how to eat.
She honestly prob is ofc used to her traditional food therefore American versions of most things are as great as the og. Heck I would say making it home is gonna be better than olive garden.
All food is made for the taste preference of the country. My friend from Pakistan said that Chinese restaurants there are created for the Pakistan taste. It's like Chinese American food, Italian American, and Mexican American food. You get the more authentic taste when you go to the actual country. Chinese food in China is different. Italian food in Italy etc.
Italians need to accept the fact that when people in other countries interpret your food it's not going to be like the original and it's also the case for Chinese, Korean, Mexican, Turkish, Indian food etc. Different nations have different tastes in food so ofc the same dish will have a different touch. I'm saying this because she literally made a disgusted face before trying it like she was ready to hate on it bc it's different.
Yeah, as an Italian it is frustrating dealing with other judgmental Italians who refuse to accept any other cuisine other than Italian. I live in the US (I’m currently in Italy for family) and whenever I tell friends and family about the different foods and cuisines I’ve tried they act like I told them I ate bodily fluids and vomit when I told them I enjoyed buffalo wings. They act like in Italy we don’t eat other cuisines all the time like Kebab, Sushi, Poke, etc.
Had her mind made up before she even tried it, so annoying. Just like my girlfriend, says they don't like something then admits they've never even tried it. 🤦🤦😂
As someone who is part Italian myself, her reaction is embarrassing and disrespectful. Her reaction was completely biased. It’s so obvious, especially when she started judging it before she even tasted it. She can have an opinion on the meal, and in no way am I saying she can’t prefer Italian food from Italian restaurants, but this is rude af.
Omg Italians, please understand already. It's AMERICAN Italian food. For us it's a crappy comfort food twist on Italian food. We know it's different and we love both American Italian and Italian food equally.
@@mohammedsabeiha969 Idk why they called it crappy lol, imo italian american food (especially in new york) SLAPS and it’s some of my favorite food because its affordable and delicious. Idgaf that it’s not “authentic”, it’s the american adaptation of italian food, and it’s GOOD period.
Idc if she hates olive garden, if someone tryst to encourage you to try new food you try it and decide if you like it, you don't complain about it being shit in the middle of a restaurant
It's not like the manager can hear them, understand Italian or is gonna throw them out. Also, not finishing your meal every so often can do wonders for your waistline. Why eat something you don't enjoy, that just takes the joy out of eating. It's not good to be wasteful of course, but not every plate has to be finished to completion, that's a sure way to gain weight or throw up.
Obviously home made is better but surely no one goes out to a cheap restaurant and orders 20 minute pasta only to look upon it like someone shat on a plate lol.
@@jayden.wright it's impossible that she said it's authentic because it's not. You don't eat pasta with chicken in Italy. Just an example. The user is lying.
agree...went to Italy last May and was looking forward to the food. Although not bad I found it nothing special and in some cases bland and underwhelming.
Gee, seeing as all the Chinese restaurants are run by Chinese people you would need to speak to them! No one in Italy would claim those places to be authentic or good!
I hate picky eaters that always complain because it's not same as they make in their country . It's like expecting mom's cooked meal even after getting married .

Exactly, if you where to take that meal to Italy, serve it to locals, not tell them it's American or olive garden I bet most would love it and think it's a new dish or something
I'm half Swiss, half Italian and tbh I like Olive Garden! I've always ordered Chicken Alfredo and yes, the lasagna is definitely of a better quality than CA but I like decadent food from time to time. 😂 of course it's not a fancy, authentic place but it's quite good for what it is! I love how they let you choose the amount of cheese on your salad. They were always amazed by how much cheese we've wanted on our salad and by our order of four bottles of S.Pellegrino instead of just drinking the free water. 🤣 the US has a lot to offer - just not (m)any healthy foods in restaurants? We've had to go to the supermarket for a soup or some fruit? And I dislike that everyone writes "the best, the greatest, the tastiest..." on their menu without even actually deserving the title. I need FACTS, ingredients, not self-praise, okay? Let me praise you after I've tasted your food, not before. 😂 but other than that, I've liked my restaurant experiences in the US.
When being Italian is your whole personality Edit: Insane how some of people in the comments get butthurt over a joke. Yall need a break from the Internet frfr. And I'm not American since that apparently changes something :D
Yeah, I like it.. not sure where the sweet part comes in.. the sauce is basically heavy cream, butter, and parmesan cheese … and chicken goes good with it too …
@Big Chungus It's like most of us Filipinos have sweet tooth, so yeah lol. btw, thanks for appreciating avocado w/ condensed milk, try to add some crushed ice next time
If you knew the origins of Alfredo then you would understand. Imagine another country making southern bbq by microwaving beef and slather bbq sauce and saying it is authentic. Have respect for food.
Oh I would like to see her visit a pizzeria in sweden... oh my. Sweden is similar to america in that we have a mix of cultures living here. As cultures mix and bring their own dishes it inspires other cultures. Here it is totally fine to mix everything. We have kebabpizza. Its the most popular one.

@@mediterraneanworld US is insular yet the biggest melting pot in the world.

@@XERXESDOE The average American is extremely insular considering the global reach of the nation. The majority of people do not speak another language and education is extremely America-centric.

Americans have food? Any recipe over there has been brought by someone else... Italians, Chinese, Koreans, creoles, mexican and practically the rest of the world
I worked at Olive Garden and the fact she liked the ziti PLUS the lasagna jus wild especially cause the lasagna there come out the freezer in a large pan then put inside the oven then portioned throughout the day
What? I worked in an authentic Italian place run by an elderly couple. We put spoons in all the pastas to be used to aid the fork. She has nothing so she criticized a very common tool used for pasta 🙄
Welcome to America! 🇺🇸 We have a variety of food. You happen to be trying an Italian-American food chain. May noy be authentic to you, but we love that people openly share their culture here. ❤️
Im italian from america and lived both in italy and america. The food is different yes. But i will tell u italy will not offer endless breadsticks and salad for cheap.

"Foodways" is lost to the Italians. The concept of "foodways," encompassing the traditions and customs surrounding food production and consumption, transcends simplistic notions of origin. Immigrant communities, like their counterparts around the world, adapt their culinary practices based on available ingredients. The Korean diaspora in Russia, for instance, substituted carrots for cabbage in kimchi, demonstrating the dish's inherent adaptability without compromising its cultural identity. Similarly, Lebanese immigrants introduced shawarma to Mexico, where it evolved into taco al pastor and tacos árabes. A Lebanese encountering these dishes might recognize their shawarma roots, highlighting the interconnectedness of global cuisines. The case of Irish corned beef exemplifies this dynamic. Traditionally prepared with more expensive cuts, Irish immigrants in America adopted the cheaper brisket due to its accessibility. This adaptation reflects the resourceful nature of immigrant communities navigating new environments. General Tso's chicken, a creation of a Taiwanese chef, further demonstrates that culinary innovation can flourish outside a cuisine's traditional homeland. Its widespread popularity does not diminish its place within the broader context of Chinese cuisine. Attributing "snobbery" to those who advocate for culinary authenticity overlooks the rich tapestry woven by historical foodways. Tomatoes and eggplants, now staples of Italian cuisine, originated elsewhere, highlighting the dynamic nature of culinary exchange. The movement of people throughout history has undeniably shaped global cuisine. Dishes evolve based on available ingredients, enriching the cultural narratives embedded within them. Fettuccine Alfredo, a Roman creation by Alfredo di Lelio, exemplifies this process. The American iteration, featuring cream to compensate for the less-rich dairy products available, stands as a testament to culinary adaptation within a new context. This Italian-American classic, though not embraced in its original form in Italy, underscores the ever-evolving nature of food culture.
It’s fusion, we have plenty of fusion in America. Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Mexican are just a few that are fused with an American take essentially. It’s more so like an inspired palette if you will. Also she looked miserable lol, trying things with an open mind is the key here. Once you make up your mind you won’t like it, trying it won’t matter at that rate.
So it looks like she already had her mind made up before she tried it that she wouldn’t like it. No, it doesn’t taste like authentic Italian food, and she shouldn’t expect it to, as it’s a chain restaurant of American-Italian food (emphasis on American), it’s gonna taste different.
She out here acting like a different location magically makes food better. Like Italy just got that pre seasoned pasta. Comes out the womb hitting just right. The air then graces it and it becomes perfectly al dente 💨 🍜 👩🍳👌
Not even American but I'm getting sick of these stuff lmao like y'all always will find a way to roast the shit outta that country💀💀how do u even think about comparing olive garden to your hometown food like bffr💀
it is not even that - its crappy corporate food that is standardized and packaged - whether it is Olive Garden or Applebees -these huge US chains are a study in profits and not palates! There is so much good food here - why would you go to any one of these crappy places!
I am Italian. It's true, the girl could have been more 'democratic'. But I find it really absurd how many of you Americans judge her to be 'snobbish' (who, being Italian, would have every right and knowledge to judge a supposedly Italian dish) and don't realize that pretending to do what you want with other people's cultures, even 'personalizing' them is profoundly wrong and disrespectful. It almost makes me think you're used to it. I am sure, however, that those who comment saying: "the girl is snobbish" have never tasted a southern Italian dish or a good italian dish in general.
Some people don’t realize or was never taught that there’s people out there that use a spoon and a fork to eat pasta. You twist with your fork and the spoon is to help guide or cut the noodles in however big you want your bite to be.
I have friends that brought me to Olive Garden and I had a similar reaction to the food. Most people dont realize all their food is made prepackaged in a factory so all the "cooks" have to do is warm it up/reconstitute it.
it’s only italians coming to america acting like this, it’s annoying. when my cousins came to america and tried an “americanized” restaurant of our ethnic food they loved it and only complained it wasn’t spicy enough but they just got hot sauce and didn’t cry about like a pretentious weirdo
I pity the people who don't know how to twirl their noodles on the forks. My Italian immigrant friend taight me... It was life changing. So efficient for eating.
taking my Italian relative to (inset generic Italian-American restaurant, food, or place) **Italian relative sees average looking pasta** **immediately becomes upset**
Olive Garden is a corporate restaurant chain - where do you get the idea that Italian Immigrants had anything to do with its bastardized menu and family style meals!
It'd be stranger for authentic Italian food to be the norm in America. Cuisine changes and adapts to different countries and environments, and we should be celebrating that. I'm Korean and I love seeing how Korean cuisine has evolved in America. It's the beauty of America as a melting pot.
Italians find Alfredo weird because here in the states we think it’s an Italian dish from Italy but it’s not. So her reaction to it is actually normal.
I’m Mexican American and in America so many dishes are Americanized, but I give them the benefit of the doubt, if it works for someone, let them eat it and call it what they want. Food should be made comfortable for your home.
I nvr understand why ppl come to America and complain about the food knowing it’s not going to be the same as places out of the country. Our food is is Americanized so ofc it won’t be the same.
Why bring a real Italian to olive garden lol. You know it's amaericanized processed food (they do too) find me a video where a real Italian actually likes it, I'll be impressed.
Italians have a tendency to want Italian food even abroad (idk why) and people have a tendency to want to bring their foreign friends to a restaurant from the friend's culture (idk why). So this was always gonna happen.
Why would you bring anyone to a corporate American restaurant chain - like OG or Applebees etc, food is crap and just as expensive as a local independent place!
My pop would throw his hands up, and yell "Mange it, anyway! It's food, it's hot, cry about it, later," and my ma would def chime in "There are plenty of people less blessed than us what would kill for that pasta, Sweety"

If you're good at it, no need for spoon but has she never eaten at a table where the fork wasn't already stuck in her food for her? No one wants to get flicked with the tail of your noodle when you have to slurp it up because you don't know how to eat.
@@gaia7240 but can you figure out by yourself with a fork next to you, that you use the fork to pickup food? Shes dense
…just why? She seems pretty dead set in her ‘opinions’.
I think they did it on purpose like talk as much shit as you can
@@rachelreeb695 she literally said everything was good except the pasta that was too sweet tf 😭😭
@@rachelreeb695 They literally said the ziti and lasagna were good, they just aren’t pure italian. They’re Italian American.
She honestly prob is ofc used to her traditional food therefore American versions of most things are as great as the og. Heck I would say making it home is gonna be better than olive garden.
I mean but why is there chicken isn’t the Alfredo? You don’t put chicken in it and Italian don’t even eat Alfredo
All food is made for the taste preference of the country. My friend from Pakistan said that Chinese restaurants there are created for the Pakistan taste. It's like Chinese American food, Italian American, and Mexican American food. You get the more authentic taste when you go to the actual country. Chinese food in China is different. Italian food in Italy etc.
Italians need to accept the fact that when people in other countries interpret your food it's not going to be like the original and it's also the case for Chinese, Korean, Mexican, Turkish, Indian food etc. Different nations have different tastes in food so ofc the same dish will have a different touch. I'm saying this because she literally made a disgusted face before trying it like she was ready to hate on it bc it's different.
Yeah, as an Italian it is frustrating dealing with other judgmental Italians who refuse to accept any other cuisine other than Italian. I live in the US (I’m currently in Italy for family) and whenever I tell friends and family about the different foods and cuisines I’ve tried they act like I told them I ate bodily fluids and vomit when I told them I enjoyed buffalo wings. They act like in Italy we don’t eat other cuisines all the time like Kebab, Sushi, Poke, etc.
I'm going to other countries, and I'm rating hamburgers. Get ready🧐
I'm screaming!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The thing invented in Germany?
You better vlog it!
@@TheDolphace tell me the last time someone said Germany is known for their hamburgers

Had her mind made up before she even tried it, so annoying. Just like my girlfriend, says they don't like something then admits they've never even tried it. 🤦🤦😂
I know people who do that all the time !! it’s so upsetting and childish!
Bestie the food didn't look right to begin with. Didn't look at all like actual Italian food
She's trying food claiming to be Italian, but it's NOTHING like Italian food. I would be upset about it too.
it looks depressing lol
She can smell yk. 🤡
As someone who is part Italian myself, her reaction is embarrassing and disrespectful. Her reaction was completely biased. It’s so obvious, especially when she started judging it before she even tasted it. She can have an opinion on the meal, and in no way am I saying she can’t prefer Italian food from Italian restaurants, but this is rude af.
Yeah, she decided she didn’t like it before she tried it
You are part Italian? Neat. When did you emigrate from there?
Pasta with chicken = 🤢🤮
Even her mom was tired of her shit 😆
Omg Italians, please understand already. It's AMERICAN Italian food. For us it's a crappy comfort food twist on Italian food. We know it's different and we love both American Italian and Italian food equally.
A crappy comfort food💀 feel bad for y’all that you need to go to a dirty American restaurant for comfort. My mother would never let me
She said she liked the other things altough they're not authentic, are you projecting?
@@mohammedsabeiha969 Idk why they called it crappy lol, imo italian american food (especially in new york) SLAPS and it’s some of my favorite food because its affordable and delicious. Idgaf that it’s not “authentic”, it’s the american adaptation of italian food, and it’s GOOD period.

If someone had a camera in your face and wanted your reaction you would give them an honest critique.
@@loria287 still rude to waste food
It's not like the manager can hear them, understand Italian or is gonna throw them out. Also, not finishing your meal every so often can do wonders for your waistline. Why eat something you don't enjoy, that just takes the joy out of eating. It's not good to be wasteful of course, but not every plate has to be finished to completion, that's a sure way to gain weight or throw up.
I think the Olive Garden will be fine.
@Audrey Doyle if you're trying to lose weight don't eat pasta 💀💀
I hate people that just can't enjoy the night .
She looks super fun to be around lol
My friend visited from Italy and she enjoyed Olive Garden. She said even tho it wasn’t authentic she still liked it. In n Out was her favorite.
Yeah. My Mexican family love Taco Bell, but they definitely don’t consider it authentic Mexican cuisine.
She lied to you
Obviously home made is better but surely no one goes out to a cheap restaurant and orders 20 minute pasta only to look upon it like someone shat on a plate lol.
@@loria287 Oh we get it. Because you have copied and pasted the comment several times. Stop trolling.
@@jayden.wright it's impossible that she said it's authentic because it's not. You don't eat pasta with chicken in Italy. Just an example. The user is lying.
As a person who has been to Italy and ate the worst pasta dish there, she has some nerve. Their food isn't always good.
oh poor thing, however did you survive - you people - do you have stock in Olive Garden? You know it is sh+t!
agree...went to Italy last May and was looking forward to the food. Although not bad I found it nothing special and in some cases bland and underwhelming.
What? She went to Olive Garden, a restaurant that Americans consider "fancy". Wow you had a bad food experience in Italy? No wayyyy! Are you stupid?
@@m3d00sa gotta steer away from tourist traps
O cmm
Yet she finished the entire plate.
Looks like she should cook her own meal whenever she comes visiting. Bring her own food too.
She probably does, and this may have been the first time they got her to try Olive Garden
If I go to Italy to eat Chinese food and it’s not authentic I’m throwing hands
Gee, seeing as all the Chinese restaurants are run by Chinese people you would need to speak to them! No one in Italy would claim those places to be authentic or good!
Chinese restaurants in Italy are owned by Chinese people not Italians

Do a social experiment on you italian cousin. give her an olive garden pasta without telling her its from olive garden. see how she reacts.
Exactly, if you where to take that meal to Italy, serve it to locals, not tell them it's American or olive garden I bet most would love it and think it's a new dish or something
I'm half Swiss, half Italian and tbh I like Olive Garden! I've always ordered Chicken Alfredo and yes, the lasagna is definitely of a better quality than CA but I like decadent food from time to time. 😂 of course it's not a fancy, authentic place but it's quite good for what it is! I love how they let you choose the amount of cheese on your salad. They were always amazed by how much cheese we've wanted on our salad and by our order of four bottles of S.Pellegrino instead of just drinking the free water. 🤣 the US has a lot to offer - just not (m)any healthy foods in restaurants? We've had to go to the supermarket for a soup or some fruit? And I dislike that everyone writes "the best, the greatest, the tastiest..." on their menu without even actually deserving the title. I need FACTS, ingredients, not self-praise, okay? Let me praise you after I've tasted your food, not before. 😂 but other than that, I've liked my restaurant experiences in the US.
It wasn’t meant to be authentic tho…. Why not take her to a place that’s more along the lines of American cuisine…. Burgers, bbq, soul food, etc
Exactly! I had fettuccine Alfredo with breaded chicken last week from my local pizzeria! DEE-licious!!😋👍🏽
Pretty sure they market themselves as authentic italian, don’t they?
@@Fitzroyfallz never heard them say that but maybe?

Americans criticize everything abroad all the time. It is called culture shock especially for a people that live in such an insular society.
@@mediterraneanworld US is insular yet the biggest melting pot in the world.

Maybe travel a bit? states in US are larger than most European countries and full of different people and cultures
Not to mention the us is very involved in the world. They’ve sent a insane amount of aid overseas, about what 50 billion to Ukraine? Another over 12 billion to other humanitarian aid. (4x the second most country btw)
@@XERXESDOE The average American is extremely insular considering the global reach of the nation. The majority of people do not speak another language and education is extremely America-centric. Houston is more diverse than NY today - what is your point - this diversity does not mean cultural competency - the US has had the most immigrants over time, but 30% of the population of Australia are immigrants (USA 15%). Australia is also extremely insular despite this and has many of the same US characteristics - SIngapore which has over 40% immigrants is better example of a truly multicultural/ethnic society in terms of 21st century realities.
Americans have food? Any recipe over there has been brought by someone else... Italians, Chinese, Koreans, creoles, mexican and practically the rest of the world

"Foodways" is lost to the Italians. The concept of "foodways," encompassing the traditions and customs surrounding food production and consumption, transcends simplistic notions of origin. Immigrant communities, like their counterparts around the world, adapt their culinary practices based on available ingredients. The Korean diaspora in Russia, for instance, substituted carrots for cabbage in kimchi, demonstrating the dish's inherent adaptability without compromising its cultural identity. Similarly, Lebanese immigrants introduced shawarma to Mexico, where it evolved into taco al pastor and tacos árabes. A Lebanese encountering these dishes might recognize their shawarma roots, highlighting the interconnectedness of global cuisines.
The case of Irish corned beef exemplifies this dynamic. Traditionally prepared with more expensive cuts, Irish immigrants in America adopted the cheaper brisket due to its accessibility. This adaptation reflects the resourceful nature of immigrant communities navigating new environments. General Tso's chicken, a creation of a Taiwanese chef, further demonstrates that culinary innovation can flourish outside a cuisine's traditional homeland. Its widespread popularity does not diminish its place within the broader context of Chinese cuisine.
Attributing "snobbery" to those who advocate for culinary authenticity overlooks the rich tapestry woven by historical foodways. Tomatoes and eggplants, now staples of Italian cuisine, originated elsewhere, highlighting the dynamic nature of culinary exchange. The movement of people throughout history has undeniably shaped global cuisine. Dishes evolve based on available ingredients, enriching the cultural narratives embedded within them. Fettuccine Alfredo, a Roman creation by Alfredo di Lelio, exemplifies this process. The American iteration, featuring cream to compensate for the less-rich dairy products available, stands as a testament to culinary adaptation within a new context. This Italian-American classic, though not embraced in its original form in Italy, underscores the ever-evolving nature of food culture.
It’s fusion, we have plenty of fusion in America. Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Mexican are just a few that are fused with an American take essentially. It’s more so like an inspired palette if you will. Also she looked miserable lol, trying things with an open mind is the key here. Once you make up your mind you won’t like it, trying it won’t matter at that rate.
Meanwhile that plate is cleared lol
watch the video lmao its the lasagna
Whether or not it’s not Italian cream sauce pasta is delicious especially if you make it homemade.
Nothing gets under an Italian’s skin more than bringing up the existence of Italian-Americans 😂
So it looks like she already had her mind made up before she tried it that she wouldn’t like it. No, it doesn’t taste like authentic Italian food, and she shouldn’t expect it to, as it’s a chain restaurant of American-Italian food (emphasis on American), it’s gonna taste different.
Yeah but you can still see what you are eating and if it's crap you don't just taste it beaause

I am Italian. It's true, the girl could have been more 'democratic'. But I find it really absurd how many of you Americans judge her to be 'snobbish' (who, being Italian, would have every right and knowledge to judge a supposedly Italian dish) and don't realize that pretending to do what you want with other people's cultures, even 'personalizing' them is profoundly wrong and disrespectful. It almost makes me think you're used to it. I am sure, however, that those who comment saying: "the girl is snobbish" have never tasted a southern Italian dish or a good italian dish in general.
Some people don’t realize or was never taught that there’s people out there that use a spoon and a fork to eat pasta. You twist with your fork and the spoon is to help guide or cut the noodles in however big you want your bite to be.
Thats like going to italy and getting aggravated bc they dont have authentic American style food . 🙄
At least it's edible
Seems to me she has to act like she don’t like it cause it’s not authentic Italian food lmao she lowkey wants to eat the whole thing
I have friends that brought me to Olive Garden and I had a similar reaction to the food. Most people dont realize all their food is made prepackaged in a factory so all the "cooks" have to do is warm it up/reconstitute it.
It’s Italian inspired. We are well aware it’s not authentic
You'd be surprised by the amount of clueless tourists Italy gets every year.
it’s only italians coming to america acting like this, it’s annoying. when my cousins came to america and tried an “americanized” restaurant of our ethnic food they loved it and only complained it wasn’t spicy enough but they just got hot sauce and didn’t cry about like a pretentious weirdo
Why do people act like Italian’s opinions matter? Lady, no one cares what your perception of your home country is.
She seems like she'd be a real blast at parties.
I pity the people who don't know how to twirl their noodles on the forks. My Italian immigrant friend taight me... It was life changing. So efficient for eating.
@Totally normal Guy I was eight

I would have sent that dish back. If Olive Garden made Alfredo with butter and Pecorino cheese and pasta water, then she would have lapped it up.
The talking with the hands made it so much better 😂❤
Imagine an American going to someone else's country and acting like euro trash about their local cuisine and filming it. They'd never live it down.
Don't have to imagine it they do it all the time! What the hell was Emily in Paris about?
The spoon to spin your noodles on with your fork
She knows it but she's confused because it's not a thing in Italy. She was a bit rude and sarcastic about that, lol.
Yo your cousin is really cute
Just like how Joe from MasterChef says that there's no such thing as garlic bread in Italy
People use the spoon to help spin with the fork.... For some reason.... And she already knew she wasn't gonna like it... Just a waste.
Only children in Italy use the spoon to help twirl
Italian immigrants who made Italian American dishes : 😔
Olive Garden is a corporate restaurant chain - where do you get the idea that Italian Immigrants had anything to do with its bastardized menu and family style meals!
It'd be stranger for authentic Italian food to be the norm in America. Cuisine changes and adapts to different countries and environments, and we should be celebrating that. I'm Korean and I love seeing how Korean cuisine has evolved in America. It's the beauty of America as a melting pot.
At least your aunt is being polite. Lord.
Italians find Alfredo weird because here in the states we think it’s an Italian dish from Italy but it’s not. So her reaction to it is actually normal.
Can confirm.

I’m Mexican American and in America so many dishes are Americanized, but I give them the benefit of the doubt, if it works for someone, let them eat it and call it what they want. Food should be made comfortable for your home.

Would it hurt to just say it's different and appreciate it without comparing it to their own food?
Girl woke up and chose violence
Why bring a real Italian to olive garden lol. You know it's amaericanized processed food (they do too) find me a video where a real Italian actually likes it, I'll be impressed.
Italians have a tendency to want Italian food even abroad (idk why) and people have a tendency to want to bring their foreign friends to a restaurant from the friend's culture (idk why).
So this was always gonna happen.
Why would you bring anyone to a corporate American restaurant chain - like OG or Applebees etc, food is crap and just as expensive as a local independent place!
Everything is “processed” unless you went in your backyard and picked it right off a tree and immediately ate it. Stop being so god damn pretentious
