Join Joel Hansen on an unforgettable food and travel adventure through the heart of Rome, Italy as I search for the best carbonara pasta in the city! From mouthwatering Roman cuisine to breathtaking historical landmarks, this video captures it all of rome’s best attractions and the top things to do in rome and the best things to do in Rome like eating in rome italy, what to eat in rome, the best pasta in rome, roman cuisine, hidden gems in rome, the Trevi Fountain and Castel Sant’Angelo.
First, we dive into an authentic Roman trattoria where locals swear by their creamy, peppery, cheesy Spaghetti alla Carbonara—made the traditional way with guanciale, pecorino romano, eggs, and black pepper. Then we step back in time as we explore one of Rome’s most iconic monuments: the Castel Sant’Angelo. Located on the banks of the Tiber River, this ancient fortress offers some of the best views of Rome and connects history, art, and legend.
Whether you’re planning your own Rome travel itinerary, love Italian food, or just want to experience the flavors of Rome from home, this is the ultimate Rome food and travel vlog for you.

Sorry but thats not the way you eat spaghetti coming from a Canadian/Italian. You twirl the pasta around the fork and then shove it into your mouth.
Speck is German you idiot. What you are eating is Italian cured pigs cheek. Also there is never cream in an Italian carbonara. Please check your knowledge and correct your ignorance please. Gracie 😂😂😂🎉
❤
Sir You need skilled professional youtube thumbnail designer? Please let me know.
Not me, IIMMEDIATELY searching for recipes for that Carbonara. Yum!
So proud of you !!!
Let’s go …
It’s panchetta …
Traditional carbonara is made with hollandaise sauce. Fresh pasta is yellow in colour also.
Go where the locals eat.
Guanciale! 😂 Cured pig cheek. So good when cooked correctly.
Loving your tousled hair! 😂😂😂
Rome is my favourite city, glad you enjoyed it! Also the carbonara looked great, ever since I tried authentic carbonara I always make it that way with actual guanciale (instead of the cream based version with bacon) – it is eye opening. I recommend you go to Florence if you get the chance, try the sandwiches at All’Antico Vinaio, they are world famous (when I went I had to go 3 times they were that good!), and then try the bistecca alla fiorentina at a good restaurant (huge tomahawk steak from a specific kind of young cow – their main dish). You will not be disappointed.
