I don't know you OR your channel but you really did a great job showcasing what i wanted to see. I really love that you highlighted all the pastas describing them so well. From sauce to texture. Showing us the plate of food, the crowd (well, its so busy) and frequency of your visits b/c it was just that darn good. Even there being a McDonalds nestled in the area. I might have to rewatch but i would've liked if you highlighted more of the Neapolitan style pizzas vs those thicker beadier ones. You gave one of the best views of what i want to eat when i go there. While day dreaming of a visit i do have one lingering question: "Where do people go?" I mean, there's so many tourists & people eating food they've never had. How convenient is it 'to take care of business?' Are establishments OK droves of ppl just walking in? Is there always a line and are they CLEAN?
People go to Italy and often just get stuck on Pasta and Pizza and forget/don't realise that there are SO MANY amazing meat and seafood dishes as well... My favourite place to eat was across the river from Trastevere, Virgilio a Campo De’ Fiori... Amazing pasta, pizza, meat and seafood dishes (we ate there multiple times over a week, always something different) and great atmosphere... Prices were really good as well, which can sometimes be a shock...
@@danfiorini785 they don't have to be expensive ones either... We found a place in Sorrento that had so many top restaurant awards in their window and thought we'd treat ourselves, but it was amazingly priced and possibly the best food we had in Italy, same as this little porchetta stand in San Gimignano, omg my mouth is watering just remembering it! 😂
@@chelakkthewookiee you’re 100% correct. Don’t need to spend a lot at all to get great food. We were amazed at the prices. We ate from Milan all the way down to the Amalfi coast over a couple of weeks and the food was amazing, and the prices were very reasonable. The food at the truck stops was even great……never thought I would see steaks cooked to order at a truck stop….but they did it.
👏👏👏👏 Yeah!!! I'm from Tuscany and tourists come here and eat pasta and pizza, while Tuscany has thousand dishes even from a city to another. In Tuscanyt we eat a lot of meat as well did in every way.
What an incredible video. I love your happiness and you really help to plan where I wanna eat. Well, if i wanna eat at every place on my list I’d have to be there for two months. Now it’s even more. You would be a great salesman.
New subscriber here. Your passion for food is contagious. Not to mention, you have the same name as one of my favorite politicians....Andrew Yang! I will be in Italy this May. Ciao!
Glad you had a great time. The food there is great. Been to Rome 8 times….there are many many great places to eat. Pizza al taglio (by the slice) is sold by weight, not by the slice. Trastevere is pronounced Tra STEV eray. Accent is on the second syllable. The meat in Rome is wonderful as well. There are a few places I like cook it in wood fired ovens….don’t forget the rabbit next time. Now you have a reason to return!!
@loredana, just seen your comment today, 6th July. My late wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in Florence in 2013: I caught Andrew's episode from there earlier today, I absolutely LOVED Florence❤❤, highly recommend visiting there, much smaller and easy to get about, even on foot. I ADORE the place, hoping to go again soon
Hello from San Francisco. New sub here who also just smashed the like and my comment is - thanks for the new suggestions! We ate at Tonnerello back in December and have been dreaming of those damn artichokes since! We are going back again this Christmas and just added Fortunata and Enzo to our list. Off to watch your Florence vid now. Thanks for the awesome ratings and including addresses. Clutch move I don’t see enough YT’s do. Stay well
This is my fave video so far and I have watched a lot of videos! 🍝🍕 Have just booked our trip and can’t wait to try all of these places! Can I ask what month you were in Rome? Thanks for the great video 😊
@@LiveLoveLaughEveryday ahhh thank you! Both are solid! Da Enzo is amazing. My wife & I personally loved da Fortunata, but a lot of ppl I know prefer da Enzo more. It has a more homey/inviting vibe & unique menu items. Be prepared to wait a good amount tho haha. Hope that helps!
I am drooling! I learned how to make these dishes and it was well worth the time and effort of the class in Florence. The reasons American pasta is such crud is: canned tomatoes / dried cheese with fillers and nasty dried pasta. I'm exited to go back to Italy in spring 2024 for two months. Yummy! (I had to giggle and snort derisively at the way your wife said; "I hate it". Sounded just like a petulant three y/o)! I eat at little Mom and Pop places and avoid most all of the tourists eateries. Thanks for a fun video!
Looool ty 🤙🏻 nope no resy needed. If you go during the bustling times (12pm & 7pm) there’s at least a 20-30 min wait. If you go maybe 15-20 min before those times, you’re seated almost immediately
Great vid, thanks! We're going end of Aug and staying in Trastavere so these recs are very helpful. Funny you mentioned Lupa. I lived in NYC for 15yrs and 20yrs ago (when Batali was involved) Lupa was doing incredible, creative Italian food. Cheers!
@@YangYummm thx man, I've been once before, wife too but it was over 15yrs ago and pre-kids. Excited to go back w them. Bonci seemed a bit over-hyped, no? Of all the restos in Trastevere which was your fave again?
@@philc1884 haha yeah but I’m pretty happy I got to try it at least once. My fave spot overall (if you like pasta) was Osteria Da Fortunata (10 min walk from Trastevere). In Trastevere, it was Trattoria Da Enzo. Both must-try’s, in my book.
I had a Korean friend who taught me to eat noodles like that. It makes sense , you let air in and it does taste better , we are doing it all wrong . Lol
Hi! In Rome, you wanna stay either in trastevere (bustling with restaurants and nightlife) or in centro storico (where a lot of other tourist attractions & restaurants are). We stayed in Trastevere & it was great. Don’t go near the train station. That area is a bit sketchy. Milan - we stayed in an Airbnb near via mercato (close to the Rivareno gelato.. which was excellent btw). This was very close to everything… only a 10-13 min walk to the duomo. Generally, my wife & I used a lime scooter all over Italy & it was great.
You're right. Nobody really likes prosciutto on pizza cause many cook it with the pizza, burning and ruining it. Prosciutto should be added after the pizza is cooked.
Prosciutto Crudo (raw ham) doesn't go in the oven, but, as you rightly say, is always placed after the pizza has come out of the oven, otherwise a good Prosciutto crudo, especially the ones we have in Italy, gets ruined. While Prosciutto Cotto (cooked ham), on the other hand, is another thing.
11:01 With the classic Roman pasta dishes (Carbonara, Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe and Alla Gricia) eaten directly in a good restaurant or osteria in Rome (but actually we could also say throughout the city), no one in the world can compete, no one !
@YangYummm your food videos are awsome , growing up in NY, my best friend was Korean, his family took me everywhere to eat with them on weekends to koream restaurants, soup eating was a loud wonder experience! My wife and I will be in Rome on June 21 this year. We wrote down many of your recommendations! You have a way of making me very hungry on ur videos! Keep it up my friend!
@@caesarn7 dang, thanks for the kind words man! that’s mad funny hahahah. Loud wonder experience 😂 & no prob. hopefully you enjoy those spots as much as we did. Obviously there are maaaany many more spots to hit up.. but you could only visit so many places in your limited time there, you know what I mean? But I’m genuinely excited for you and your wife. I’m sure you’ll love it. Make sure you check out the Orange Garden for sunset!
Andrew yang bro. You're setting our kind back a century the way you eat. This isn't Chinatown/Koreatown/Japantown... pick any other southeast Asian country where it's ok to noodle slurp to a degree. But eating like that is kinda disgusting. I'm Chinese Canadian and know better. And stop with the bad table manners like pointing with your fork... come on! Is this your first time out? But on the good side.. i like you. You have good energy and it comes from a good heart. Which you can see in how much you enjoy your food. Great editing, good content. Keep it up. But slurping (in the west). And no pointing with cutlery (in any country). Peace!
You ate many of the right things, but you only went to tourist restaurants. Even Bonci, you could have gone to the panificio, not waited, and had a more local experience.
@@YangYummm you're wellcome... if you are interessed search lingua salmistrata. This dish is tipical of the North East of Italy. Like many italian recipes this was a tipical meal of very poor people became a tasty food along the centuries... and even esclusive nowadays.
I understand that for an American even the food at the Policlinico Umberto I° could be delicious (hospital), but those places have become traps for tourists, who are fooled by Instagram reels and by the various food bloggers who charge for advertising on the restaurants, a real local does not go to eat in the center of Rome, but chooses above all based on how many tourists crowd outside the place, I'm sorry for you but you missed many hidden gems
Actually, he did mention that he was Korean and I believe in Asia when you slurp your noodles it’s perfectly normal and an indication that you’re really enjoying your noodles. That is something I heard a long time ago.
@Andrew C Yang, I really like your videos, and Mrs Yang 💕💕, but PLEASE eat your spaghetti and similar long thin pasta like an ITALIAN [twirling the strands around your fork] and NOT like an oriental, it's freaking annoying beyond words.
So.. What’s YOUR fave spot in Rome? 🍝
La Casa del Caffè Tazza d'Oro so far best coffee in rome
All favorite video, Just arrived and came back in to Italy, Veneto/Lombardia nice to you,bye from Toscana.!🌐👍👍🌸💖......Pasta alla Matriciana.💖
