These rules are deeply rooted in our culture and tradition, and knowing them will not only help you avoid some awkward moments, but will also show Italians that you truly respect and understand our cuisine.

When I was in Italy, I couldnโt resist ordering cappuccino everywhere and at any time of the day, it was just too delicious. Mi scusi!
i have been practicing at home not using a spoon. Loved hearing the foods rules.
I can get behind all rules until it comes to food… in fact, I tried mixing my red wines and got chewed out by a nonna… and nope… deal with it.. because food is my thing. I'll decide what and how I eat… you can control everything else lol
Just roll the spaghetti against the plate, you don't need a spoon, I never used one ๐ฎ๐น
1. Never put parmesan on seafood. (Yuck! Wouldn't want to!)
2. No cappuccino after lunch Caffe Macchiato (espresso with a dab of foam) is okay (I never drink cappuccino anyhow, even in the morning!)
3. Never cut/break your spaghetti before cooking (When it was raw, my mother did break it in two because we were poor and she didn't have a big enough pan for whole spaghetti.)
4. Don't use a spoon to wind up your spaghetti. (I didn't grow up in Italy but we never cut the spaghetti in my house and didn't use a spoon to wind it up. We swirled it around our fork! I got very adept at doing it without making a mess.)
Mille Grazie ๐
For the people commenting on breaking spaghetti because of pans being too small…
The idea is to put the ends of the spaghetti in boiling water and gradually, as each part softens, wind it round the bottom of the pan until the whole length is under the boiling water.
Hope that helps. It works with any size of pan.
Question about cappucino – surely an espresso last thing at night would hinder sleep, whereas a cappucino might ease it. Is it not even allowed for that? Or is something else recommended to assist sleeping?
Buongiorno, Valentina. So glad I found your channel. Queste regole le ha insegnate la mia nonna italo-greca, a casa preparava sempre deliziosi spaghetti, linguine, ravioli, pasticcio e gnocchi. Italy has always been one of my favourite countries because of its beautiful architecture, picturesque towns, rich culture and history, lovely food, welcoming people, breathtaking nature and landscapes. Grazie mille per questo video โค ๐ฎ๐น
Forget about about eating spaghetti without a spoon, itโs far more sexy rolling spaghetti on a spoon, hate peoples that makes up stupid snobbish rules, btw I love eating with my hands food taste so much better.
Do you guide for Sicily ?
Here in L.A. our Italian ๐ฎ๐น flag is confused with the Mexican flag using our same colors…๐ ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐น God Bless America and you Valentina โ๐
Sono brasiliano. Sono arrivato dopo la solita ora di pranzo a casa di una famiglia molto generosa e gentile, che mi ha offerto qualcosa da mangiare. Mi hanno servito degli spaghetti, fuori ordine. Mentre mangiavo, la madre e le sue due figlie mi guardavano. Per quanto mi sforzassi, non riuscivo ad avvolgere gli spaghetti intorno alla forchetta, nemmeno con l'aiuto di un cucchiaio. La forchetta mi scivolava di mano e cadeva sul piatto, spesso. Imbarazzato, mi sono scusato profusamente, ho spiegato che in Brasile tagliamo gli spaghetti quando mangiamo, e ho iniziato a tagliarli. Bene, oggi posso farlo.
cosi bella … imparare; mia mamma (italo-americana) sempre rompeva gli spaghetti – non sapevamo! grazie per tutti
Io sempre spezza gli spaghetti prima cucinare. Per me E' piu facile rotolare con una forchetta senza cucchiaio quando sono piรน corti.. Ora non permetterรฒ a nessuno vedere questo.๐
I always break spaghetti before boiling. lol. Never again ๐ฎ
madam please make a full video on tenses
My dad 's parents came from Italy & he used a spoon with his spaghetti.
My grandfather from Napoli rolled spaghetti w help of a spoon lol.๐ฎ๐นโ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ
Question : would Latte macchiato be able to be ordered after 11am or go with cafe macchiato . grazie mjg
So glad you too use a spoon!
I assume it is not polite to let spaghetti drip from your mouth. Is that correct?
I know Italians have seafood pizza as well and for the cheese its a light white one. Being Japanese its kind of weird having just seafood with some cheese so I get it since we donโt necessarily have dairy for a long time until we explored Europe in the 1900s and the latter years. Iโve seen my neighbors when I made an Italian cherry tomato pasta and they cut the pasta with a fork. It drove me nuts since we donโt do that either. Iโd rather eat noodles and pasta when they are long since they have texture and the flavors that is already absorbed by it.
