Italian food is my absolute favourite, i say that as an Indian myself. Nothing beats a good charred neapolitan pizza
Babu and Ruby are the dream team on this channel when it comes to trying new food… love the combination of the young and enthusiastic and the old but still curious viewpoints!
Also, Pizza Margherita seems to be like the most basic pizza imagineable, but whenever I am out with friends and feel hungry, if I can get my hands on a Magherita, that´s my number one choice… not to light, not to heavy, just perfect…
Gelato is Italian ice cream but it has a different texture, a bit softer than ice cream and a bouncy texture that stretches a little. I love gelato much more than ice cream.
Italian food is simple ingredients with delicious flavours. And when they make pizza, they do that with simple ingredients too. The pizzas you have tried in the past, were American style where food is the opposite of Italian food. Americans make everything bigger and thicker with lots and lots of ingredients. For me, that gives too many flavours all at once, so everything tastes too rich and too heavy. I love Italian food because they can make three or four ingredients into something wonderful! They know which produce tastes best together, like tomatoes and basil, tomato and cheese, asparagus in butter and garlic, or everyone’s favourite (chicken parmigiana) chicken with a crumbed coating, topped with tomato and melted cheese! Yum!
Ruby and Babu are so charming and wholesome together. Great to see them enjoying new things.
my favorite pair ever! i love these guys so much, both so wise and willing of new cultures/experiences (i love sarru and raeen too dont worry). whenever i see ruby and babu i click so fast!

“Fine dining restaurant” and yet the waitstaff sports backwards baseball caps? Nah. 😂 This is a “fast casual” restaurant in a shopping center.
Sometimes sour things can be nice too Babu 😂 that gelato would have been much more refreshing on a hot day.
The Mexican music playing in the background of an Italian restaurant kept me laughing!
8:42 There is a similar saying in America, "Finger licking good". As in something that tastes so good you want to lick your fingers. Its interesting to hear it in another language!
Wonderful video. I love how Ruby is knowledgeable and she and Babu have wonderful discussions about what they're eating. Thank you!
Making them eat pizza with no coke/sprite/. . . ? Major Crime !!
When did waffles become Italian ?
And no Tiramisu for the finale … in an Italian restaurant ?! Another major crime !!
Just kidding …. I enjoyed their reactions.
Ruby and Uncle are the perfect pair for these videos. Give us more! ❤ Also, may the whole production team be blessed for giving our great Babu Bhai these precious moments to enjoy and overcome. I remember when the channel first started and it's amazing to see the growth. I love you all 🙏 blessings to all of you my brothers and sisters.
My favorite taste team!!! If you ever get to the states please bring Ruby and Babu!!!!
0:30 that Mexican music should have been played in a Mexican food video, not in an Italian food video!!!
A real Italian pizza would NOT:
– call itself "Margarita"
– have pineapple on it
So I think it's
againAmerican food posing as Italian food.Now I want bruschettapizzawafflegelato! It's so close to dinnertime.
Good vid but please don't show your greasy or cream covered fingers to the camera it's really gross
