Good rainy morning here in New York just back for a few days. I'm prepping for the trip to Singapore

All right
I'm gonna start my day and uh, enjoy the video
Final half a day in milan about to be on our way to tuscany found this really cool little pasta place
And it's full of locals come here for lunch. I'm, really excited about this. It's really cheap
Look at this like an appetizer for seven euros a plate of pasta for about 10 euros appetizers smoked burrata
onions and vinegar
I love burrata, but burrata here in europe is something else. It's so creamy. This thing is ridiculously smoky, too
I'm gonna eat it with some sun-dried tomatoes
Wow this texture is amazing
So pasta I got is the zucchini giggly pasta with uh sausage inside
Phenomenal there's some parsley in here. The zucchini is delicious this pasta is perfectly al dente beautiful texture
Plus it is spicy
Some red peppers in here turning up that heat
It's garlicky got a subtle crunch from the zucchini, I mean it's a simply delicious pasta dish
No wonder this place has a line out the door every single day for lunch other dish
We got tagliatelle with a little sheet milk cheese
That tomato is so juicy and sweet add that to the creaminess of the cheese
Such a well-balanced pasta
Great for dipping the sauce using the bread
They gave you if you ever just want to grab a quick lunch quick snack
This is a good place to do a short walk from normal. Let's go find. This is a fun stay really cool hotel
It's raining now on to
Bologna
About halfway there actually gonna be doing a video in one of these auto grills
I think it's one of the biggest gas stations in europe. I got buckies in italy
Oh my goodness, this whole thing is a cookie what this is a box of donuts
This tea no sugar has stevia, this is delicious
New hotel and check out the view. Hello bologna. That's beautiful
Finally got to bologna this place famous for his ragu. All right, what are four dishes?
I think they were shocked because usually people just get one each first dish suckling pig with parmesan and fresh mushrooms
This looks awesome different types of mushrooms little salad. Look at the thin
Slices of pork so beautifully translucent i'm gonna use this as a little wrap with some greens put some mushrooms in here
a little parmesan cheese
That was a good start this dish. It's melty where it needs to be melty. It's crunchy where it needs to be crunchy
It's fresh. It's earthy. It's rustic
The pork literally put this on your tongue a couple of slight shoes that thing starts dissolving
Such a great earthy flavor from the mushrooms a little vinaigrette on here
I think too salad is crunchy cheese is delicious
This is definitely a wet your appetite can't wait for more kind of dish
This is balazone pasta with truffle and anchovy ham with just a ton of cheese
Oh, this is another one of those times where smellovision was with me so you guys can smell this
Oh crazy, let's try this ham
Wow, it's so cheesy and came by shaved more parmesan on the top of my pasta
The pasta is perfectly chewy inside creamy cheese filling with just a blast of truffle
The ham is chewy. You get a little brightness to it. This whole thing is just
Overwhelmingly cheesy in such a good way. I am 100% dunking everything I have into the sauce
This is a very classic dish in bologna
This is the tagliatelle pasta with bologna
Ragu, of course shaved cheese on top so much meat
so saucy
Yeah, these two pastas
For the last meal I have on earth wouldn't come back as a ghost. No regrets
It's too good pasta again perfectly cooked. I can't believe human beings make this it looks kind of simple
Just a ragu minced meat on pasta, but when you take a bite
It just touches every single taste bud and then just fulfills your burning soul
It's meaty. The sauce is a little sweet a little tangy very thick which coats the pasta perfectly
And it just has this deep earthy umami flavor that just makes your taste buds dance club a festival
Whatever it is. It's a dancing and the two pastas so different one is incredibly creamy rich
So cheesy it could probably take the lead in the twilight movies and the other tangy meaty saucy utter perfection
This might be the best pasta I've ever had in my life
I wanted to get another bowl of this but then I saw on the menu
They also have had a lasagna bolognese. So i'm gonna go try that one, too
lasagna
Has arrived look at that all those layers toasty cheese with meat on top
Each layer look at this. It's like i'm uncovering a little sheet between each layer is just again loads of meat
I'm gonna say is i'm pretty sure garfield will kill me to get this pasta
It's so cheesy and meaty and the great thing about the sauce is not overly tangy
It's got that rich umami like flavor with that great taste just kind of lingers on your tongue
It just makes you keep wanting more of that. The noodles are soft inside the lasagna
Get the ragu pasta and get this final dishes here cotoletta de bolognese
It's a pork cutlet covered in a cheesy buttery sauce. Look how thin and beautiful that cutlet looks
I love
This restaurant so glad I got this. Oh, look at this
There's slices of prosciutto in here as well with that nice thin cut of cutlet
There's prosciutto as well and the batter first of all, I don't know what they did with this batter
It's not crunchy and that's very much okay
It's just soaked up all that great amazing and I mean amazing sauce if you ever get a chance to come to italy
This restaurant will blow your mind
every which way
The sauce is rich
It's so cheesy got that great parmesan flavor. This has been a life-altering experience with italian food
I get these experiences every so often
I mean
One of them was definitely when I tried japanese ragu for the first time and then this is going to be one of the most
Memorable ones. This is really cool afterwards. They bring you a cup of cherries. The owner is so nice here
The only thing I didn't see
Definitely need to eat here one more time before we leave
Almost midnight this place is still so hopping can't end a night in italy without some gelato. Oh jasmine smells so good
Got two different flavors of pistachio
That's a really good pistachio really creamy
Really pistachio
The one on the bottom
That's giant pistachio one on top is creamier
There was like four flavors of pistachio
Got two this one on top has more of a pistachio flavor. I wish I could tell you what I got
I have no idea. I was asking for two different types of pistachio flavor
anyway
Finish this come back tomorrow. Try the rest
This is a highly highly rated ice cream shop got a moroccan tea gornita
It's so refreshing also gelato a couple different pistachio flavor
On top is regular pistachio dark chocolate
in the middle
And salted pistachio on the bottom. Italy just has so many different flavors of pistachio. It's always some of the best
This is breakfast
Last night has so much pasta. My stomach's still burning. I mean it was worth it, but it's still burning so breakfast
All right, next part of our day. This could be a hit or miss not really sure
So apparently italy has a theme park right here outside of bologna
it's the biggest food park in the world with over a kilometer of just
Food i'm not really sure what's in here, but let's go check it out
Here's the map, okay, there's a lot of stuff happening here and these bikes I think are free with baskets
Look at this carousel croissants cannolis panettone
So this place has everything it's just like a ginormous italy there's wine there's
Lobster and fish tanks. There's olive oil. There's every
italian food item
Unimaginable
They're just not a lot of people and uh our ticket comes with a bunch of vouchers
And this is one of the places we have vouchers at so we got the 30 package which includes entrance tickets free parking
Or shuttle from bologna and includes one meal from one of three restaurants gonna eat and then go walk around the restaurant
We're at now. It's a seafood restaurant
obviously
There's a boat first dish I think this is truffie pasta with some mussels clams baby octopus
Maybe some uni in here
That's a lot of sand pasta's delicious texture's amazing
seafood
Hmm. Yeah a lot of sand. Otherwise, this dish is buttery. It's briny not too much flavor on the pasta
Not a bad dish but
Just unwanted crunch everywhere. This also came with a ticket
So potato wedges seared tuna with sun-dried tomatoes grapes a piece of salmon
Salmon's got a nice sear on the outside a tad bit dry on the inside
Tuna looks pretty perfectly cooked
I think tuna is way better tender scrumptious nice sear on the outside beautifully delicate on the inside
It's an okay meal i'm gonna finish eating and um, let's go walk around some more
I'm inside right now a big parmesan cheese. I feel like this park really had a lot of potential
I don't know where it went wrong. But right now it's kind of sad. There's nobody here
It looks like a lot of pretty interesting restaurants. I mean you got food hanging from the ceiling. That's always great
We got one voucher left to try one more restaurant
Sad to see all this used to be people just demonstrating how to make the food and italy is an amazing brand a little zoo here
too. Hey alpacas
Wow, look at this giant dairy cow. This is uh
I'm from the midwest grew up in little towns across the midwest. I'll tell you right now this cow tipping thing
It doesn't exist. You cannot tip over that cow is standing. It's not being tipped over by some drunk fat guy
It's just not happening. Oh, wow still pointing a net it's there for these
turkeys
All right meal two stick with a burger and fries burger looks good bun looks good fries look amazing
Crusty toasted bun caramelized onions bacon cheese. This patty looks phenomenal over lettuce and tomatoes
That is perfectly cooked juicy, but on the bottom there's barbecue sauce with the lettuce and tomatoes the ingredients look fresh
This is good first of all beef in italy is delicious such a huge
Beefy flavor from this patty a little sweet from the tomatoes and smoky from the barbecue sauce caramelized onions delicious bacon is crispy
As expected in italy bread is delicious
Pretty much everything you want and also that patty just melts in your mouth pretty much everything you want in a delicious burger
And more people are coming to this place right now and they say it nice. Sometimes they have a little food festival
So hopefully this place picks up. It's a really nice place a food themed amusement park. We need more of those in the world
I personally enjoyed it. I like walking around looking at the different fruit ingredients going to the different shops seafood meals
Just okay. This is spectacular. Hope this place makes a comeback
Dinner is at this restaurant on the outskirts of bologna called trattoria
Molino buciato, I think this place is so popular among the locals because not only is the price extremely reasonable
You can go in and there's a selection of antipasti
over a few dozen of them all home cooked and
However much you can fit on a plate. It's only six euros per place
So this I loaded this up with some burrata
What looks like tuna and tomatoes some sauteed mushrooms some bacon wrapped lettuce stuffed mushrooms prosciutto and cheese and this
Stuffed pepper. Oh and some sausage. First of all, whenever there's an opportunity to eat burrata in this country. I take it
Oh, I just realized there was smoked burrata in there too
Should have got that this thing with a little more smoky flavor amazing on top of amazing
But you even ask there's burrata in europe or just something else so creamy the cheese flavor is mild the texture absolutely amazing
I also got some of those spicy sauteed mushrooms
Everybody i'm taking up anything this blows my mind every single time
This is one of the best sausages i've ever put in my mouth hard to describe the sauce is a little spicy
But the sausage itself has this crazy medium umami-ness to it
The crumb is crispy the mushroom is juicy and delicious i'm dying to bite into this ever since I put this on my plate
This is so good bacon, of course doing its usual delicious bacon-y stuff the little lettuce in the middle
Juicy slight hint of bitterness crunchy and delightful. I got a couple different prosciutto
Wrapped around cheese
Definitely very funky one
Chase it with a little bruschetta. Oh, wow, that tomato tastes like it just came off the vine food here is so ridiculous
Like this is a six euro plate of delicious antipasti
Wow, I think there's ham inside some cheese the pepper is sweet and smoky this thing is so
Medium melts in your mouth pretty much every bite especially the sausage the stuffed pepper the bacon. It's so good
I can't wait for course number two
This is a very typical bolognese pasta dish called gramina and it has little chunks of sausage inside all the pasta here
Nine euro and this is just half a portion of pasta because you can order things by half portions here
So you can try out more food and it's still a lot of pasta
Only thing I can relate this to is like the most exquisite mac and cheese
The cheese flavor is so sharp
It's so pronounced pasta
It's incredibly chewy very al dente tons of little bits of sausage in here to bring in some extra richness and flavor
I mean the sauce is creamy as cheesy as rich
But it's not ever overly greasy or overly too much
Like I can take maybe two three bites of a mac and cheese and that's pretty much reaching my limit
I mean, this is already cheesy. I threw some more parmesan cheese on here. I can keep eating this dish all night long
There's tomatoes to bring that sweetness and the lightness and refreshing flavor
To this cheesy pasta
Main course has arrived mixed meat platter fried zucchini same thing we had last night had to get it again
So this thing it looks like there's lamb chops. There's chicken. There's pork. There's a beef rib in here
Squeeze of lemon
There's some skewers here as well I am super excited for this
Wow
This is the best bone i've ever gnawed on this is something magical
I think this is from a ribeye and the meat it just comes off
I've finished many steaks up to the bone before and try to get the meat
I never seen anything like this before meat comes off with so
Little effort and all fat and charred crust. I mean look at this everything comes off the bone with so
little effort the meat
The fat the cartilage. I mean, I know some people will be like why are you gnawing on bone?
Why are you saying that's the best thing you try gnawing on this?
I'm telling you it's not one of the best things you ever had and this whole giant plate of meat
14 euro where
Are you gonna find a deal like that the chicken?
Charred tender juicy, I think this is lamb
Lamb skewers with little bits of crusty fat in the middle just chase it all with some fried zucchini
Just looking on the menu. I was thinking fried zucchini. How good could it be?
This is a must try when you come here crispy on the outside
snappy on the inside this
over french fries
Any day of the week
Oh gotta do this one more time
This cutlet has been haunting my dreams since I had it last night parmesan cheese on top of thin slices of prosciutto
On top of thinly battered giant piece of cutlet the size of your head
It's just the best of all the italian food i've ever had in my life this just reigns supreme
It's so good
The best italian dish ever had in my life not even close in this place
I mean everything we got pasta was about nine euros these meat dishes 12 to 14 euros
No wonder this place is packed every night of the week. I heard they got a reservations booked out for three months in advance
We got lucky. We just showed up when they just opened and managed to snag a seat
But this is an amazing restaurant
So nice to be eating outside and send a jasmine in the air there is a food heaven
Tuscany might be it. All right gonna go back to the food and as always i'll place that one two listed below for you
Thank you all so much for watching until we eat again. See you later
