It’s not Italian Italian, it’s Italian American. Most of these dishes were created by Italian Americans on the east coast of the US. It became known as Italian food in the US because it was created by Italian immigrants. Chinese American food has a similar origin story.
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

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.
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.
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.
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. 🤦🤦😂
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.
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.
@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
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
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.
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!
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.
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.

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. ❤️
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.
💀 go on a pizza tour of Italy, but be brutally honest and pompous like they are. Guarantee some mad Italians would kick you out because they’re so sure they’re so good and the best always
@@mediterraneanworld US is insular yet the biggest melting pot in the world. N.y. is one of the most diverse and located in the US which happens to be also one of the most multicultural country… 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
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
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 💨 🍜 👩🍳👌
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.
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.
How much food do people need to eat? SOmehow if there is a lot of it that makes up for the quality? You are not Italian if you are from America, you are American of Italian origin - it's not the same thing. Food is different, yes like Mars and Jupiter.
@@mediterraneanworldit’s called getting “more bang for your buck.” And truth be told, Italy itself has some bland dishes. Wasn’t impressed when I visited.
@@avapilsen so anyone can say they are anything!! If you are third generation Italian American you are not Italian! My family is of Italian origins but these people don’t speak the language and have so little knowledge of the country they claim as their identity it’s sad.
I really don't get complaints by Italians when it comes to pasta and pizza. Do they honestly think that when our forefathers were missing home they had access to the same ingredients? Or that the original version was enough food? If it were my country that inspired a new version of a loved dish... I'd be touched that it shared the same name.
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 …
Her attitude was on another level 😂 like girl if you don’t like it then go somewhere else and eat. Like what you eat and make will not be the same or liked by another person. 😂 complaining while still eating 😂😂😂
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💀
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.
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!
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 🙄
taking my Italian relative to (inset generic Italian-American restaurant, food, or place) **Italian relative sees average looking pasta** **immediately becomes upset**
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.
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.
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.
Italians ( I'm Italian ) act so spoiled when they eat abroad meanwhile as soon as they go home : * microwave wurstels *, * frozen pizzas *, * pasta with canned tuna *, * flat ass hard ass chicken breast *
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
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.
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!
She said it sweet I understand because when I went to Rome ate Roscioli it was very salty, so salty I couldn’t finish my food and had to stuff my face with the bread.
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!
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.
I understand that most of the foods here aren’t gona taste the same back to where you come from. Same with Vietnamese food. Like I can never get that authentic tastes like how it is back there but I still enjoy eating them, good or bad.
Hispanics and italians needs to stop being so snobby about american versions of their food. No one thinks taco bell is authentic. No one thinks olive garden is authentic. Get over yourselves 🇵🇷🇺🇲
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"

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'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
🤣🤣
Even her mom was tired of her shit 😆
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.
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.
@@Vivian-ho1xu American who never tried food outside USA moment ☕
@@Vivian-ho1xu it’s slaps because the price tag 💀
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. 🤡
i really hope she paid for her own meal. you will NEVER catch me paying for someones food if they're so damn judgy about it.
She seems like the kind of person that would tell the waiter she’s not paying for it because she hated it even though her plate is empty
She looks super fun to be around lol
…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
The clean plate says it all though.
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?
There's people that can't even afford to go to restaurants appreciate it even tho you dislike it .
If she thinks the fettuccine was sweet. I'd love her to try Filipino pasta. 😹
Sorry but your guys spaghetti is unholy
@@anandabliss9997 lmao
@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
My God, this explains why my pinoy friend adds sugar to her indomie noodles! lol
Yes, but in the Philipines they would not say it was Italian!
We get it you're Italian ...
What I don't get is ordering chicken fettuccine just to complain it's not authentico because it has chicken. Yeah, you ordered it, so you knew.
Being rude and pretentious is “getting it”. Okay.
@@deniseperalta-smith3948you clearly misinterpreted what the OP was saying.
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
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.
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
😂😂
No no. You sit down and shut your mouth.
@@beachaddict7653no no we Americans you know we sharing our piece buddy
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
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
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.
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?
I mean from the rich Italians I’ve interacted with they probably don’t like anything American.
Because her cousin is Italian and she wanted to see how she will react to the food. Not only visually but taste wise. Duh. 🙄
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 .
I mean, you'd at least expect it to not taste like a sugar addict's dream, which is the majority of North American food
@@audreydoyle5268 ur doing way too much it’s not that sweet calm down😭
@@lIAxriIl42 if it has sugar in it for the purpose to reaching bliss point to encourage individuals who are unknowingly addicted to sugar, then my point still stands. It's a horrific thing that US restaurants and companies have to rely on an ingredient that has shown a correlation to cancer formation in order to make the citizens able to choke down more food. It's also disgusting on both ends, from ceo to customer.
Same! And I'm Italian
@@audreydoyle5268 ur weird lmao none of this food is “sweet” I don’t get why so many ppl hate sugar it’s natural we’re obviously not talking about overly sweet foods
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. ❤️
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.
I'd love to see these reels the other way around. Like American food in other countries and see if they get it right or now
Actually yes, you can get fries and burger anywhere on the planet.
@@sophielorber4571 well that's not the entirety of American cuisine so.....
@@pioneerprepper2048 Pasta and Pizza isn't all of Italians cuisine either, and that's all they are talking about here :)
@@sophielorber4571 right I know that. Ooook we'll have a day
@@sophielorber4571 right and you can get pasta anywhere… so… that’s not the point this person was making..
Imagine an American coming to your country and critiquing your attempts at American food. She’s too snobby 😂
💀 go on a pizza tour of Italy, but be brutally honest and pompous like they are. Guarantee some mad Italians would kick you out because they’re so sure they’re so good and the best always
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.
N.y. is one of the most diverse and located in the US which happens to be also one of the most multicultural country…
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
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
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
That plate was clean at the end😂
its the lasagna
Lol
I noticed that too.
Because it’s rude to leave the plate full 😅
So did you not explain to her about the spoon. You just let her think we eat long noodles with a spoon?
Honestly it was about to piss me off a little 🤦🏽♀️
Who even put a spoon in her plate is what I’m wondering cuz they usually put utensils on the side. This is bogus.
@@rosemaryheart4706 She could barely find the fork on the side.
@@Msboochie2 true 😂
She didn’t even try to look for the fork!!! Go back home!
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 💨 🍜 👩🍳👌
ok...send me 2 italy to review hotdogs, burgers, and chicken wings!!!! lol
Yes they have no food culture in America!
@@aimeebarrett5834bro shut up and go to the south plus make ya way back north and get sum good Chicago food before ya say this stupid shit 😭
She seems fun to be around…
why are you going to date her? its a silly video
@@mediterraneanworld I can't tell if you don't get sarcasm or you're being sarcastic too.
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.
Whether or not it’s not Italian cream sauce pasta is delicious especially if you make it homemade.
they seem like a nightmare to be around
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.
How much food do people need to eat? SOmehow if there is a lot of it that makes up for the quality? You are not Italian if you are from America, you are American of Italian origin - it's not the same thing. Food is different, yes like Mars and Jupiter.
Exactly 👏👏👏😊
@@mediterraneanworldit’s called getting “more bang for your buck.” And truth be told, Italy itself has some bland dishes. Wasn’t impressed when I visited.
@@mediterraneanworldwho are you to decide if he's Italian or not? Lmao
@@avapilsen so anyone can say they are anything!! If you are third generation Italian American you are not Italian! My family is of Italian origins but these people don’t speak the language and have so little knowledge of the country they claim as their identity it’s sad.
Oh boy she's a joy to be around! A really pleasant visitor. Gotta love family!! 😂
I really don't get complaints by Italians when it comes to pasta and pizza. Do they honestly think that when our forefathers were missing home they had access to the same ingredients? Or that the original version was enough food? If it were my country that inspired a new version of a loved dish... I'd be touched that it shared the same name.
Meanwhile that plate is cleared lol
watch the video lmao its the lasagna
Olive Garden: exists
her: and I took that personally 😐
I hate people that just can't enjoy the night .
I’m 100% sure that that dish tastes great, it’s literally chicken, cheese, and pasta.
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 …
@@nicopico5537 I mean, fast food chains in the us do our sugar in their products to promote a good pallet but yeah, it’s not that big of s deal
That’s the whole reason it taste bad 😂😂😂😂
Her attitude was on another level 😂 like girl if you don’t like it then go somewhere else and eat. Like what you eat and make will not be the same or liked by another person. 😂 complaining while still eating 😂😂😂
They probably brought her there to see her reaction to US cuisine.
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💀
Exactly, a lot of these countries wouldn't have a lot of the shit they have if it wasn't for America and they'd all be speaking German now too.
she seems like a blast at parties😭😭😭
Yet she finished the entire plate.
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
@@gaia7240 girl why u replying to everything go touch some grass💀💀💀
To be fair it is Americanized, so it’s not gonna be exactly like Italian pasta. They just put their own twist too it 😊
Hmm, yes, sugar
I hate America my country
@@audreydoyle5268 tf. Pretty weird comment.
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!
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 🙄
She seems like she'd be a real blast at parties.
taking my Italian relative to (inset generic Italian-American restaurant, food, or place)
**Italian relative sees average looking pasta**
**immediately becomes upset**
Thats like going to italy and getting aggravated bc they dont have authentic American style food . 🙄
At least it's edible
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 talking with the hands made it so much better 😂❤
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.
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 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.
Nothing gets under an Italian’s skin more than bringing up the existence of Italian-Americans 😂
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.
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.
She cleaned that plate tho 😂😂😂
Italians ( I'm Italian ) act so spoiled when they eat abroad meanwhile as soon as they go home : * microwave wurstels *, * frozen pizzas *, * pasta with canned tuna *, * flat ass hard ass chicken breast *
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
Well we aren’t In Italy.. lol who cares if she doesn’t like it.
Why are you so triggered? DO you own stock in Olive Garden?
@@mediterraneanworld lol I’m not :)
@@mediterraneanworld and no lol 😆
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.
Just like how Joe from MasterChef says that there's no such thing as garlic bread in Italy
It's true that it's a bit more sugary in the US but it's still delicious.
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
Yo your cousin is really cute
i like how she tryna critique it with a clean plate in front of her 💀
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!
Girl woke up and chose violence
She said it sweet I understand because when I went to Rome ate Roscioli it was very salty, so salty I couldn’t finish my food and had to stuff my face with the bread.
Her face when she first saw the plate!
😂😂😂
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
Would it hurt to just say it's different and appreciate it without comparing it to their own food?
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.
I understand that most of the foods here aren’t gona taste the same back to where you come from. Same with Vietnamese food. Like I can never get that authentic tastes like how it is back there but I still enjoy eating them, good or bad.
Now you know how Mexicans feel..
But even I wouldn’t be so ungrateful XD I’d stop making faces and eat my food
Hispanics and italians needs to stop being so snobby about american versions of their food. No one thinks taco bell is authentic. No one thinks olive garden is authentic. Get over yourselves 🇵🇷🇺🇲
