I watch/like food video's tours for pizzas and pasta's but it was such a turn off watch you reverse food from your mouth. Very hard to watch. I'm sorry i have to stop watching.
I was just going to say the same thing ❤ I am Canadian with an Italian husband, living in Germany but have also lived in Italy, also moving back to Italy, so that is also my first advice. If pistachio ice cream is green it is atourist place.
And then there would be another important thing to say and another mistake to avoid that unfortunately many foreign tourists make when they come to Italy. Many tourists come to Italy with certain classic Italian dishes in their heads and regardless of the place, regardless of the city they are in, they order certain dishes. Just to give an example. An Italian hardly orders "Spaghetti alla Carbonara" in a restaurant in Sicily or a "Risotto alla Milanese" in Naples. The Italian usually eats the specialty of the city, of the region. Because Italian cuisine being a very regionally based cuisine, I as an Italian want to eat and discover the specialties of the place where I am. I want to eat the typical dish of the area where I am, being sure that I eat that dish really good there. A "Cacio e Pepe" for example, is a delicious and typical Roman dish, but you don't eat the same good dish all over Italy.
Pizza in Rome is mostly a street food. Italian food is hyper regional, though pizza is now everywhere. If you want Neopolitan pizza, best to go to Naples.
To say that pizza in Italy “is now everywhere” seems almost as if in Italy, which is really the country of pizza, we are talking about a “new product” in Italy. :)
@@aris1956 Pizza is basically from Naples. As recently as the 80s, I mostly saw pizza places for tourists in northern Italy. Some locals ate it sometimes, sure, but didn't see it as 'their' food as much as they do now. Focaccia was their pizza, historically.
Ich habe eher das Gefühl,dass es eher weniger streetfood in Italien gibt. Essen in Italien heißt immer: hinsetzen und gemütlich Essen und genießen. Kaffee hingegen wird gerne im Stehen getrunken und genossen
Also, Carbonara is made with pasta, pecorino Romano cheese, eggs, black pepper and guanciale. It’s pig cheek, not bacon, and it’s cured rather than smoked. The sauce is brought together with pasta water. That’s it. No other ingredients. Simple but delicious.
@@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo Good to know because it sounds delicious. It a favorite of my brother and I always wanted to learn to make it well. Thanks.
Absolutely - they say if you cut the pasta you kill a nonna - no local restaurant would dream of giving you a knife with pasta - they found a tourist trap
Also, in my opinion, panna cotta as the second most famous dessert in Italy isn't really a thing, because there are more famous desserts. As an Italian obviously tiramisù is probably the most famous, but gelato fights for first place, then cannoli, babà, torrone, strudel, sfogliatella, granita, maritozzo, millefoglie, panettone and pandoro, cassata, cantucci, pastiera, zuppa inglese, gianduia, amaretti, pan di spagna, salame al cioccolato, baci di dama, struffoli...and there's a lot more. If I had to include the snacks too, like Nutella, Ferrero Rocher etc I'd never end😂
In Italy we have pizza bianca (White pizza) without tomato sauce and pizza rossa (Red pizza ) with the sauce, for Italians they are both considered pizza 😁
You two are my most favorite people on the planet! Learning German (English speaker) was my introduction to you both. Off to Rome in April. I love you two!
That's what happens w/ cruising. When you're in a port, everybody on the ship is there too so everything is really crowded in the areas nearest the ship. I like to take a taxi and ask the driver where the best place to eat that's not near the port. I've never had a bad meal doing that and I often get to eat the authentic food.
When I visited Rome a good ten years ago, the locals told me to not eat Pizza in Rome. They told me to eat Pizza in Trastevere. I followed their advice and wasn't dissapointed. Great video!
That's what I meant. Trastevere is a neighbourhood in Rome. I don't know why the locals called it out specifically as if it was another village or town. But they instisted on calling it "not Rome".
@@comodoregoatknuckle6301 Trastevere was even within Aurellian walls... so part of historical center for quite some while now. :D But I do get what they meant in a way, it's only that influx of tourists is so big that even Trastevere became full of tourist traps. Maybe try Testaccio or something simmilar. But it seems to me that "Roman pizza" is really like a thin, crunchy, brittle crust and bottom. Not my favourite style.
That was the best looking arancini I've ever seen, thinking the pizza needed a light touch of a tomato bechemel for the base, but I love a thin crust, the carbonara looked really rich just the way I like it. I was thinking Italy's number one dessert would be gelato, the tiramisu (pistachio looked tasty). I really don't think of Italy and desserts, I'm there for the savory. Love that you are there, looks like you are having a wonderful time. Thanks Deanna and Phil for taking us along.💕👍
what the hell is deep fried risotto? You mean suppli? theirs was falling apart because they broke it in pieces they were suppose to bite it not make it into little pieces
Watched a video somewhere, think it was by Wolters World, where they said that if you want to get into a nice restaurant somewhere really famous, you need to have reservations long in advance.
Ahhhh you shoulda tried the pasta ‘Cacio e Pepe’ ! Translated meaning cheese & pepper. It’s a Roman standard! We loved rome & it’s food ; there is an awesome pizza place right beside Vatican City (like , facing the courtyard) that is 100%. You must go back and try more things :)
Italians usually have pizza in restaurants in the evening for dinner that is why you didn't find it for lunch, but you can find pizza al taglio, there are pizzerias that make only pizza il large rectangular pans they cut a piece as large as you want it.
I have some friends who would eat only supplì (those crunchy rice balls stuffed with melted mozzarella). They just buy like 8 of them and that's it. Maybe a gelato while strolling
In Rome you should try the pizza called "pinsa romana" which differs from the classic neapolitan one from the shape and the dough. Napoli is the CEO for the Italian pizza, made in a very specific way with a few ingredients, but I bet that you can find a good pizza everywhere in Italy, even in the smallest village. The thing is, I think is impossible to propose a winner for the best cuisine in Italy if you haven't eat in all the regions. So many pasta dishes, so many pizzas, so much diversity, even I as an Italian can't choose only one region or city, everyone has its best from north to south. But that's good because it gives you the excuse to come back many more times :)
Made me smile as around 13'19'' at the pizzeria (JAZZ?), I see you ordered a bottle of Coke and Fanta to make two glasses of Mezzo Mix. Wonder how the Italian waiter reacted to that and not sure how many people out of Germany know what I'm talking about. By the way, good thing you've ordered your Cappuccino before lunch time. Italians traditionally only serve them in the early morning (LOL). Love both of you and your vids
Please, if you see a version of Tiramisu with peanut butter, you should not buy Tiramisu there. ;) Also I think the pizza variant was more a modern and not an original pizza.
Hey guys! Sorry to see you had a disappointing time in Rome. I spent 3 days there in 2018 and thankfully I found an incredible vegan Italian restaurant and had a vegan and smoked tofu carbonara, and then we ended up in a hyper tourist area and just had a pizza one night. It was a great city tho, but I don’t recall it being as busy as this. I hope your next trip to Italy is less stressful! I love the idea of an Italian cruise tho!
Roman pizza is square cut from a sheet of pizza. That looks like a new type of pizza. You grab some and go. Like a gelato. Vatican City is in a weird area. Had some not good food there. Sorry to see it was so crowded.
Tiramisu is definitely my favorite dessert. I like spicier pasta dishes but Carbonara is always great. I just don't like it as much when it's made with cream here in the US (not always, but too often). Shame about Rome being so overcrowded - I'll definitely take note of that for the future. I'm not a big fan of crowds like that either, for all the same reasons you stated. Anyway... thanks! Gotta go to the Italian grocery store after work today! Best I can do for now.
Basically in Italy you have two "ways" of having pizza, we call it "a base bianca" and "a base rossa" (starting from white or starting from red) If you choose white you have a simple pizza with a topping (no tomato sauce in it) If you choose the red one you have the tomato sauce and the topping
As a German living in Pisa and has lived also in Roma, I agree, it can be a bit tricky to find good places in the Centro storico in Roma. But there are amazing places, also for pizza. And regarding the comments here... yes pizza napoletana is amazing, but the video is about Roma and there are amazing pizza romana places as well. Maybe have a longer visit in Roma one day... it's the most amazing city! :)
Un tedesco che vive in Italia ed un italiano, nel mio caso, che vive qui in Germania. Abbiamo fatto uno scambio di Paesi. 😉 Se posso chiedere, cosa ti ha portato in Italia ? (ovviamente oltre alla bellezza e alla grande cucina del nostro Paese). 😊
Some advice for foreigners , don't just look for pasta and pizza, in Italy we have hundreds differents dishes in every region, even superior to the usual "margherita" or "pasta alla carbonara"!!! Try more varieties of meat, fish, vegetables and much more!!! 👍😉 Ps. In Italy we eat broth with a spoon , not spaghetti!!!!😂😂😂
It's a pity that tourists only visit Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and other major cities. Italy is beautiful for the natural landscapes too. That's what attracts me the most about Italy
OMG, those rice and cheese balls looked amazing! 😊 8:30 mark: Those are old-world buildings. We didn't construct those things in the time-line we're given in the history books. We literally "founded" and "established" the old world's leftovers after the latest reset (look closely and you will see those two words used over and over again, instead of "constructed"). We didn't build these massive structures with horse and buggy over the course of a couple of years, as the narrative goes. Oh, and they didn't "catch fire" as that same narrative tries to tell us... 11:37 mark: For those of us in the USA, "rocket salad" is arugula. It's a spicy green. Very easy to grow in a home garden. 👍 12:25 mark: That crust is exactly what I end up with when I use a flour tortilla as my crust when making a cast-iron pizza. Thin and crispy. 13:00 mark: You can very easily make this kind of pizza at home using flour tortilla shells and fresh ingredients! 15:25 mark: I enjoy your videos and I'm a long-time sub. However, I really don't like those shots where you're reversing food out of your mouths. I normally just accept it as part of your videos since I know you like to be silly like that, but I really do find it a turn-off. I don't need to see food going into your mouth on reverse. Lol. 16:45 mark: Oh yes! Tiramisu is a lovely dessert! Those looked yummy! 😊
I think you were a bit unlucky with your choice of restaurants. If you have to choose one "on the go" in a very tourist area like Rome, you will have a hard time finding one that is not a tourist trap, but an original Italian family restaurant.
One of my favorites is rather simple, it is called Cacio e Pepe. I would also like to suggest that you look into Tuscan as well as Sicilian dishes as they are actually unique to each of those regions of Italy.
First and foremost, great video! In my opinion there's no such thing as 'best food in..." as someone else already pointed out, each region has it's specialties and it's best you stay away from restaurants in touristic areas. I've been around all the north of Italy (Aosta, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Veneto, ...) and the best meals I had where in the most remote places.
Either Rome is just that telegenic or D&P are getting better with the camera. There’s some really nice shots in the video. Food doesn’t look bad either.
And I thought the Trevi fountain was full when I was there as a student in the last millenium in the summer holidays. But this was even more, in January!! Can you imagine how filthy rich those restaurant owners must be?
15:14 Honestly, these images are not very “appetizing”. I would have avoided these passages. Already watching people eating, I'd say it's not really a big thing. If we then also have to see these images......turn over the stomach completely !
My favorite Rome foods are eggplant parmesan and the best pizza of my life - simple salcissia. Good that you didn't go to Rome on Easter - that was stupid.
We have had pizza all over Italy, and that pizza looked awful, to be honest..😂 It's tough when you've got limited time like that..that's why cruises aren't ideal.
I'm from Rome and i can tell you: 1) Don't eat in tourist areas. Look for restaurants highly frequented from locals. 2) Supplizio has very good supplì, but very overpriced. A normal supply costs 1€-1,5€.Espresso coffe should be 0,70€-1€. cappuccino 1€-1,50€ and panna cotta about 2-4€. Tiramisu price was ok. 3) knife is not necessary at all to eat carbonara pasta. It's a standard to give it to you in case you want to eat meat or other dishes, but we don't use it to eat spaghetti. It's actually seen as a food crime to cut spaghetti. 4) the carbonara looks good, but the pizza primavera doesn't. It's too crunchy for a round pizza. If you want the perfect pizza, you should still visit Naples. 5) i'm sorry you had to experience such huge mass of tourist ruining your experience, maybe try coming back in another time of the year :( it looked very cloudy and cold too. 6) If you want some tips on where to eat, ask me or other locals ;)
Ricotta means twice cooked. Panna cotta means cooked cream. Cotta means cooked. There are a few non Catholic churches in Rome. Being that this was your first visit to Rome, you needed to be in the tourist spots.
Italy is my dream destination!!!! Especially Sicily. A lot of UA-camrs seem to be in Italy right now. Probably trying to beat all the tourist in the summer season. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Blessings from Oklahoma.
Roman pizza is awesome, though is very hard to find a not-tourist place downtown. I lived in Rome for two years when I was studying, I must say that i loved roman pizza more than neapolitan. What makes me sad is that you paid 3.5 euros for a cappuccino, I would say that was a tourist trap. Keep going, your videos are very enjoyable!
Just order a pizza Margherita in italy if you want that classic pizza feel, you ordered something that is completely different. Always order Margherita and then try the other stuff
la pizza a Roma è completamente differente rispetto a quella di Napoli. Personalmente preferisco la pizza napoletana, per me insuperabile. Io abito a Bergamo, nord Italia, quindi arbitro neutro 😂😂
3:30 *Morgan Freeman voice: But Katrin wouldn't stop. In fact, Katrin was further from stopping than ever before in her life. Those pitiful sirens wouldn't instill caution, nor care, nor fear in Katrin. Their dreadful cry meant nothing to the dread that was her.
My experience in Italy dictates the big spoon with the fork is normal when you're eating spaghetti. Maybe they didn't think you would want the spoon because you were foreigners?
This is tipycall roman food...the one that tourists search for: carbonara, supplí, pizza etc.. But italian cuisine is huge, is regional and is not only pasta!!😂 For example, you went to the restaurant but you didn´t order a menú or the second dish....why?
Been to Italy multiple times and never saw a “pizza” that looked like that - and don’t get an Italian started on Neapolitan vs Roman - literally 2 completely different styles of pizza… also if your carbonara was parmigiano reggiano and not Pecorino Romano you were eating at a dodgy tourist restaurant - which is backed up by the high prices you paid - if you’re going to judge a place based on one meal you really need to do some work ahead of time and plan better what and where you eat - otherwise you’re wasting your time and looking like clueless tourists…
Absolutely not parmigiano cheese 18:08 in the carbonara,but pecorino romano cheese,parmigiano is produced with cows milk and it's made in northern Italy,we romans use pecorino cheese,made with sheeps milk,if someone use parmigiano in carbonara isn't a REAL carbonara. 👋

First rule of Italy: When looking for good Italian food in Italy, do not eat in tourist areas... Each region of Italy has their own special dishes.
spot on comment!
Walk for a few minutes even in Rome, follow your nose and look/ talk to Italians where they eat.
I was just going to say the same thing ❤ I am Canadian with an Italian husband, living in Germany but have also lived in Italy, also moving back to Italy, so that is also my first advice. If pistachio ice cream is green it is atourist place.

I recommend moving 500 meters away from the tourist area of the center and eating real Roman cuisine 👍

a Roma ci sono più di 15500 pizzerie, e non ne trovi una che ti soddisfi?
@@gregmuon What are you talking about, pizza in Italy is good everywhere if you get to the right place
Also, Carbonara is made with pasta, pecorino Romano cheese, eggs, black pepper and guanciale. It’s pig cheek, not bacon, and it’s cured rather than smoked. The sauce is brought together with pasta water. That’s it. No other ingredients. Simple but delicious.
The mistake Deana and Phil made, pasta doesn't wait, there is no time to take pictures when you get a fresh plate of carbonara.
Oh that sounds delicious. I will have to try your way. Thanks.
@@peggiescraftcafe7117, It’s not the commenter’s way. That’s the proper recipe.
@@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo Good to know because it sounds delicious. It a favorite of my brother and I always wanted to learn to make it well. Thanks.
@@peggiescraftcafe7117 is the only way
I think they gave you fork and knives with the Spaghetti because most tourists cannot eat the Italian way (fork only).
Absolutely - they say if you cut the pasta you kill a nonna - no local restaurant would dream of giving you a knife with pasta - they found a tourist trap
They could have given you a spoon..🤣🤣🤣
@@martinkasper197 Italians don't use a spoon they twirl the pasta on the side of the dish
Deana sorry to tell you but in carbonara there is no bacon but guanciale aka cured pork cheek.
Went to a place that absolutely blew me out of the water with their guanciale. Baccano.
Cacio e Pepe is my favorite in Rome. Definitely recommend.
Tiramisu' began in Veneto region: Venice, Treviso dispute on origin. There you can find original ones.
Also, in my opinion, panna cotta as the second most famous dessert in Italy isn't really a thing, because there are more famous desserts.
As an Italian obviously tiramisù is probably the most famous, but gelato fights for first place, then cannoli, babà, torrone, strudel, sfogliatella, granita, maritozzo, millefoglie, panettone and pandoro, cassata, cantucci, pastiera, zuppa inglese, gianduia, amaretti, pan di spagna, salame al cioccolato, baci di dama, struffoli...and there's a lot more. If I had to include the snacks too, like Nutella, Ferrero Rocher etc I'd never end😂
Excellent video You Two, I really loved all of it, but I agree that a 'Real' pizza has to have a base sauce or it isn't a pizza...Thanks!
In Italy we have pizza bianca (White pizza) without tomato sauce and pizza rossa (Red pizza ) with the sauce, for Italians they are both considered pizza 😁
13:34 The typical cheese for carbonara is Pecorino Romano (particularly then in Rome !) not Parmigiano Reggiano.
Oh yes, "pecorino" is goat cheese (very salty) instead of "parmigiano" that is made with cow milk
In Rome, eat Pizza al taglia. Don’t eat at places that have signs in English and avoid any restaurant with jazz in the name. 😉
You two are my most favorite people on the planet! Learning German (English speaker) was my introduction to you both. Off to Rome in April. I love you two!
I really want to try those fried rice balls in the last video! The Carbonara one from this one sounds good too.
@@devind132 supplí are awesome. If you come here try also amatriciana supplì, i personally prefer it to carbonara (but it has tomato sauce)
Rome’s Bonci is famous for pizza al taglio. Roscioli is good as well. I prefer pizza Al taglio for its crunch versus pizza Napolitana.
Rome - my absolute favourite town!!! Nice memories - thank you! Next time in Rome try Trastevere Quarter for yummie food 🙂
That's what happens w/ cruising. When you're in a port, everybody on the ship is there too so everything is really crowded in the areas nearest the ship.

Il tirami su non ha mai MAI il pistacchio tra i suoi ingredienti.
Try visiting Aosta. It's got a weird French dialect there. Also it's a cool Italian Alpine city.
Florence is amazing. It has so much history and art. It's a stunning city. You have the northern Italian food and coffee which are the best.
Deep fried Risotto is my new love! 🤣
I agree about risotto, I'm Italian and I love risotto in all its variations more than pasta!!
what the hell is deep fried risotto? You mean suppli? theirs was falling apart because they broke it in pieces they were suppose to bite it not make it into little pieces
I used to make carbonara all the time it's a very simple meal and it's very delicious very easy to make
Watched a video somewhere, think it was by Wolters World, where they said that if you want to get into a nice restaurant somewhere really famous, you need to have reservations long in advance.
Can you tell us about the cruse ship? Cost from to etc yours Pete
Great food that you chose, but not crazy about the reverse view out of your mouth
🤣 me neither
Ahhhh you shoulda tried the pasta ‘Cacio e Pepe’ ! Translated meaning cheese & pepper. It’s a Roman standard!
We loved rome & it’s food ; there is an awesome pizza place right beside Vatican City (like , facing the courtyard) that is 100%. You must go back and try more things :)
Bro 3.50 for a Cappuccino and 2.50 for a Espresso is way tooooo much in italy.
You paid over the top prices for all the stuff. A Cafè normale or espresso is just €1 or 1.50 to start with.
You should watch the videos of The Pasinis if you want to know the good places to eat in Italy.
The food looked delicious, especially the desserts (even if for breakfast).
Italians usually have pizza in restaurants in the evening for dinner that is why you didn't find it for lunch, but you can find pizza al taglio, there are pizzerias that make only pizza il large rectangular pans they cut a piece as large as you want it.
Cappuccino and panna cotta prices are quite high, because youhave been served at the table. At the desk dame are cheaper
I have some friends who would eat only supplì (those crunchy rice balls stuffed with melted mozzarella). They just buy like 8 of them and that's it. Maybe a gelato while strolling
Napoli is known to have the best pizza in Italy.
So no good pizza in Rome? Literally, IN ROME??? 😂
Nope, Napoli is known to have the best Napolitan pizza. Roman pizza is a totally different recipt and procedure. It is a matter of personal taste!
In Rome you should try the pizza called "pinsa romana" which differs from the classic neapolitan one from the shape and the dough. Napoli is the CEO for the Italian pizza, made in a very specific way with a few ingredients, but I bet that you can find a good pizza everywhere in Italy, even in the smallest village.

It´s a roman pizza...flat and crunchy "scrocchiarella"
Carbonara should have Pecorino Romano vice Parmesano Reggiano
Hey guys! Sorry to see you had a disappointing time in Rome. I spent 3 days there in 2018 and thankfully I found an incredible vegan Italian restaurant and had a vegan and smoked tofu carbonara, and then we ended up in a hyper tourist area and just had a pizza one night. It was a great city tho, but I don’t recall it being as busy as this.
I hope your next trip to Italy is less stressful! I love the idea of an Italian cruise tho!
Roman pizza is square cut from a sheet of pizza. That looks like a new type of pizza. You grab some and go. Like a gelato. Vatican City is in a weird area. Had some not good food there. Sorry to see it was so crowded.
There's a thin, round style of Roman pizza too. Couldn't quite tell if what they ate was it or not.
The pannacotta has to have a nice wiggle to it this one seems a bit "stiff"for a pannacotta....love the video btw!
Tiramisu is definitely my favorite dessert. I like spicier pasta dishes but Carbonara is always great. I just don't like it as much when it's made with cream here in the US (not always, but too often). Shame about Rome being so overcrowded - I'll definitely take note of that for the future.

Rome is a big city/capital and not exactly an insider tip🤷♂️😉
Basically in Italy you have two "ways" of having pizza, we call it "a base bianca" and "a base rossa" (starting from white or starting from red)
If you choose white you have a simple pizza with a topping (no tomato sauce in it)
If you choose the red one you have the tomato sauce and the topping
Sounds really good. I have a strange friend who doesn't like pasta at all 🤔 Tiramisu is my favorite desert.
Fewer tourists in Florence? Oh dear.😂To make your carbonara creamier, add parmesan to some hot pasta water and mix in.
Are you also going to other countries on your cruise? If so, to which ones?
All the many pizzas I ate in rom looked way different than the one you had in Jazz Bar. They were way bigger and had tomato sauce and cheese on them
Great videos I am a new subscriber well done ❤
❤ Great video as always
Hi
Pizza without chee. Was it good dough though? Good choice on the background music by the way.
As a German living in Pisa and has lived also in Roma, I agree, it can be a bit tricky to find good places in the Centro storico in Roma. But there are amazing places, also for pizza. And regarding the comments here... yes pizza napoletana is amazing, but the video is about Roma and there are amazing pizza romana places as well. Maybe have a longer visit in Roma one day... it's the most amazing city! :)
Un tedesco che vive in Italia ed un italiano, nel mio caso, che vive qui in Germania. Abbiamo fatto uno scambio di Paesi. 😉 Se posso chiedere, cosa ti ha portato in Italia ? (ovviamente oltre alla bellezza e alla grande cucina del nostro Paese). 😊
Some advice for foreigners , don't just look for pasta and pizza, in Italy we have hundreds differents dishes in every region, even superior to the usual "margherita" or "pasta alla carbonara"!!! Try more varieties of meat, fish, vegetables and much more!!! 👍😉
Ps. In Italy we eat broth with a spoon , not spaghetti!!!!😂😂😂
what??!! no canoli, my favorite Italian desert. mmmm😋
Leute, wie könnt ihr in Panna Cotta Joghurt herausschmecken?!
It's a pity that tourists only visit Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and other major cities. Italy is beautiful for the natural landscapes too. That's what attracts me the most about Italy
OMG, those rice and cheese balls looked amazing! 😊
8:30 mark: Those are old-world buildings. We didn't construct those things in the time-line we're given in the history books. We literally "founded" and "established" the old world's leftovers after the latest reset (look closely and you will see those two words used over and over again, instead of "constructed"). We didn't build these massive structures with horse and buggy over the course of a couple of years, as the narrative goes. Oh, and they didn't "catch fire" as that same narrative tries to tell us...
11:37 mark: For those of us in the USA, "rocket salad" is arugula. It's a spicy green. Very easy to grow in a home garden. 👍
12:25 mark: That crust is exactly what I end up with when I use a flour tortilla as my crust when making a cast-iron pizza. Thin and crispy.
13:00 mark: You can very easily make this kind of pizza at home using flour tortilla shells and fresh ingredients!
15:25 mark: I enjoy your videos and I'm a long-time sub. However, I really don't like those shots where you're reversing food out of your mouths. I normally just accept it as part of your videos since I know you like to be silly like that, but I really do find it a turn-off. I don't need to see food going into your mouth on reverse. Lol.
16:45 mark: Oh yes! Tiramisu is a lovely dessert! Those looked yummy! 😊
most favorite? that's a hard one. vitello tonnato and any good pizza/pasta dish
You had me at Kokomo🎵🎶🎵🎶🔈..... My hot tip:
Rent a scooter🛵☁️☁️☁️☁️ you ride 2 km outside the tourist center you can find some great food.
I think you were a bit unlucky with your choice of restaurants. If you have to choose one "on the go" in a very tourist area like Rome, you will have a hard time finding one that is not a tourist trap, but an original Italian family restaurant.
One of my favorites is rather simple, it is called Cacio e Pepe. I would also like to suggest that you look into Tuscan as well as Sicilian dishes as they are actually unique to each of those regions of Italy.
Dude, you cannot skip the Coliseum! It is by far the most important site!
The reverse cheese pull from the mouth had me dead 💀
Nice,Streets rememberme on vacation in lovly Bari
The supplì: you don't have to break them before eating... it's a mess. Just bite them.
What is the name off your cruise companny?
Damn now i am hungry. Quik question, will you make a video about the ship?
First and foremost, great video! In my opinion there's no such thing as 'best food in..." as someone else already pointed out, each region has it's specialties and it's best you stay away from restaurants in touristic areas. I've been around all the north of Italy (Aosta, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Veneto, ...) and the best meals I had where in the most remote places.
Can't wait to see Greece and Turkey videos.
Yeah, you are spezilovers too 🙂
Either Rome is just that telegenic or D&P are getting better with the camera. There’s some really nice shots in the video. Food doesn’t look bad either.
a small pizza place near the Coliseum
And I thought the Trevi fountain was full when I was there as a student in the last millenium in the summer holidays. But this was even more, in January!!
Can you imagine how filthy rich those restaurant owners must be?
11:30 I think they recommended that to you so they can save on the cheese and tomato sauce
15:14 Honestly, these images are not very “appetizing”. I would have avoided these passages. Already watching people eating, I'd say it's not really a big thing. If we then also have to see these images......turn over the stomach completely !
My favorite Rome foods are eggplant parmesan and the best pizza of my life - simple salcissia. Good that you didn't go to Rome on Easter - that was stupid.
not just food I would say
We have had pizza all over Italy, and that pizza looked awful, to be honest..😂
It's tough when you've got limited time like that..that's why cruises aren't ideal.
Where is the pochetta
Congratulations, I’ve lived in Rome for 65 years and I still don’t know where the best food is.
6:26 if you want to shut up your girlfriend, just stick some food in
I'm from Rome and i can tell you:
1) Don't eat in tourist areas. Look for restaurants highly frequented from locals.
2) Supplizio has very good supplì, but very overpriced. A normal supply costs 1€-1,5€.Espresso coffe should be 0,70€-1€. cappuccino 1€-1,50€ and panna cotta about 2-4€. Tiramisu price was ok.
3) knife is not necessary at all to eat carbonara pasta. It's a standard to give it to you in case you want to eat meat or other dishes, but we don't use it to eat spaghetti. It's actually seen as a food crime to cut spaghetti.
4) the carbonara looks good, but the pizza primavera doesn't. It's too crunchy for a round pizza. If you want the perfect pizza, you should still visit Naples.
5) i'm sorry you had to experience such huge mass of tourist ruining your experience, maybe try coming back in another time of the year :( it looked very cloudy and cold too.
6) If you want some tips on where to eat, ask me or other locals ;)
It is called quancale it is not bacon
Guanciale
Ricotta means twice cooked. Panna cotta means cooked cream. Cotta means cooked. There are a few non Catholic churches in Rome. Being that this was your first visit to Rome, you needed to be in the tourist spots.
Italy is my dream destination!!!! Especially Sicily. A lot of UA-camrs seem to be in Italy right now. Probably trying to beat all the tourist in the summer season. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Blessings from Oklahoma.
Roman pizza is awesome, though is very hard to find a not-tourist place downtown. I lived in Rome for two years when I was studying, I must say that i loved roman pizza more than neapolitan. What makes me sad is that you paid 3.5 euros for a cappuccino, I would say that was a tourist trap. Keep going, your videos are very enjoyable!
Y'all just so cute together!!
100% STOP using reverse footage of eating!! It Is Revolting to see!!
Just order a pizza Margherita in italy if you want that classic pizza feel, you ordered something that is completely different. Always order Margherita and then try the other stuff
la pizza a Roma è completamente differente rispetto a quella di Napoli. Personalmente preferisco la pizza napoletana, per me insuperabile. Io abito a Bergamo, nord Italia, quindi arbitro neutro 😂😂
A Como la pizza é stile napoletano...quella romana la trovi solo a Roma.
12:00 if pizza makes that crunchy sound, it's not a true pizza.
Super Filme! Feiere Euch!!
I don't really like tiramisu but I love cannolis
My favorite dishes are, "fegato alla veneziana" and "bagna cauda", google 🤣😋😋😋
3:30 *Morgan Freeman voice: But Katrin wouldn't stop. In fact, Katrin was further from stopping than ever before in her life. Those pitiful sirens wouldn't instill caution, nor care, nor fear in Katrin. Their dreadful cry meant nothing to the dread that was her.
My experience in Italy dictates the big spoon with the fork is normal when you're eating spaghetti. Maybe they didn't think you would want the spoon because you were foreigners?
We don´t eat spaghetti with the spoon...that´s the reason why they didn´t offer
This is tipycall roman food...the one that tourists search for: carbonara, supplí, pizza etc..
But italian cuisine is huge, is regional and is not only pasta!!😂 For example, you went to the restaurant but you didn´t order a menú or the second dish....why?
Been to Italy multiple times and never saw a “pizza” that looked like that - and don’t get an Italian started on Neapolitan vs Roman - literally 2 completely different styles of pizza… also if your carbonara was parmigiano reggiano and not Pecorino Romano you were eating at a dodgy tourist restaurant - which is backed up by the high prices you paid - if you’re going to judge a place based on one meal you really need to do some work ahead of time and plan better what and where you eat - otherwise you’re wasting your time and looking like clueless tourists…
Ich versuche English lernen . Mit euch macht viel Spaß ich weiß das ist nicht in eurer sin aber ist mir Seher hilfreich ❤❤❤❤❤ danke euch 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Believe it or not I've heard a lot of people say that the pizza in New York City is actually better than the pizza in Italy🤔
Absolutely not parmigiano cheese 18:08 in the carbonara,but pecorino romano cheese,parmigiano is produced with cows milk and it's made in northern Italy,we romans use pecorino cheese,made with sheeps milk,if someone use parmigiano in carbonara isn't a REAL carbonara. 👋
