What are your favorite foods to order at Italian Restaurants?
I'm going to always ask for extra butter. I'm going to eat bread when and wherever I want.
If the restaurant doesn't like my food choices, I can take my business somewhere else, KAPEESH!
Love my garlic bread!
I will break everyone of these rules – on purpose.
As an Italian – born and raised – I appreciate how this video was made, explaining the reasoning behind the "rules" so to make more sense of them. Interesting and creative, in that sense.
Really? Coffee's gonna help you sleep?
The guy trying to speak Italiano at the beginning of the video, is so exaggerated that he even looks funny! I've never seen any Italian moving his hands that way, while he speaks.
Ketchup spaghetti???
Food has no rules, just enjoy it how you want.
no spaghetti and meatballs? Lydia Bastianich would beg to differ.
I’m so sick of people telling people what and how they should eat. I could give a rats ass how somebody from Italy chooses to eat their food when they’re visiting the US. You want to dip pancake in ketchup? Go for it. Want to drink coffee for dinner? Who cares. Want to put butter in your celery, enjoy. Do whatever the hell you want, as long as you’re otherwise sanitary and polite.
Caesar salad was invented by the chef-owner of an Italian restaurant called Cardini’s. Yes, it is located in Tijuana. It was popular during Prohibition. The owner was an Italian immigrant to Mexico, Caesar Cardini.
Rules, no. I'm going to eat the way I want to eat, in the order I want to eat. These "rules" are ridiculous.
Why always European with Food? You have Africa!
I think opening my mouth to speak will scream tourist louder than asking for butter.
Americans need to travel more. But leave their preconceptions at home.
I love ketchup, but on spaghetti, I never even heard or ever saw anyone do that. Sounds nasty.
I think the "bread rules" mentioned here is interesting but there are regional considerations. Where I traveled, I often had fresh bread served with olive oil, cracked pepper, and slices of cheese. Yum!
Glad I'm not Italian. I can't eat like that. I went to visit my friends mother and she spreads out a 6 course dinner and insisted I eat it all. I did and I love her although I shy away when she is there. I'm small and can't eat that much
I'm guessing the main reason for the many "courses" in a traditional Italian diner and dining experience would be that the servings are far smaller than what we'd expect in a US restaurant (Italian or otherwise) where we're so used to "supersizing" virtually everything.
well gee now i'm worried they'll be upset if i ask my spaghetti to be tossed in ranch 🙂
Who cares? Eat what you want.
Fake. Italy doesn't exist. There's only USA.
