Good morning, everyone, this is Maxi Nestra,
I can finally say it, I'm in Rome,
In Italy, precisely in Piazza del Popolo,
I am extremely enthusiastic.
We have three full days of food here in Rome
I can't wait to share it
Everything with you.
Are we happy?
Of course we are happy!
For dinner we came
at a 90-year-old restaurant
who in Rome.
This is an institution here in Trastevere,
a very historic neighborhood
Let's see what we have ordered.
This is called a Judia artichoke,
It's a judgmental artichoke.
It is fried with
sale
parsley and olive oil.
I haven't eaten this in 10 years.
Probably.
My grandma used to make this.
Bon appétit!
The artichoke has a very unique flavor.
a bit salty,
and this is a dish that
It refers to centers.
Why is there a large righteous community?
in the Roman Ghetto,
which is a prudent neighborhood
that influenced Italy.
And this is one of their dishes.
Thank you very much!
As the main course,
due classiche romane.
Carbonara, mamma mia!
I have never eaten carbonara in many years.
It's one of my favorite dishes
of all time
This is tonnarelli,
It's like a small spaghetti.
with a little onion,
Pecorino Romano, pepper, and eggs.
And then, another very famous dish
of Roman cuisine,
Amatriciana
From Amatrice, a small town near Rome,
The same type of pasta, tonnarello.
Then we have the tomato sauce,
the same little bit of onion,
pepper and Pecorino Romano.
No, no, this is illegal.
Yes, yes, my goodness.
No, no.
Bon appétit.
I am dreaming.
I should be frightened.
Am I dreaming or what?
No, no, it's so good.
Ah, the creaminess, the fat,
It's a bit spicy.
The egg gives the creaminess.
The pasta is perfectly cooked.
Keep the slice, beautiful one.
This is how my childhood was.
Go, go for amatriciana.
Oppala, a whole bag of guanciale.
Oh, the tomato sauce.
Sweet. Then you have the tip
of Pecorino Romano,
Perfectly cooked, all in style.
And the slice.
Guanciale really makes a difference.
And for dessert, of course,
The tiramisu.
Fresh tiramisu, I believe with mascarpone cream.
And this is Gentilini,
The traditional Roman biscuit.
Mamma mia.
So elegant, not too sweet.
It is very soft above.
Then, if you put it with the sponge,
Become firmer.
The best of the best.
What an incredible country.
This is a country that,
No matter how many times you come and visit,
It makes you explode all the time.
It's incredible, truly magical.
You can also take the water
Have fun
in front of the Trevi Fountain.
Take a picture,
a video,
Remove the coin.
I think this is your first time in Rome.
So Rome is huge, very big.
If you don't have enough time,
There are at least three countries
which you must visit.
One of these is the Trevi Fountain,
Piazza Spagna, Spanish Steps, and the Colosseum.
After that, the rest is bonus.
So,
Let's all do a little vocalization.
Finished.
Rome is magical.
Finished.
Thank you.
We have arrived at, probably,
one of the most famous
pizzeria and pastiglia
In Rome. This is very traditional.
His name is Giolitti.
This is a half-sized cake.
In terms of flavor, there were many options.
I followed the boy's recommendation.
We have dark chocolate, pistachio,
The hazelnut and the cream on top.
Then, let's go.
This is the sky. It's not really sweet.
We are walking around Rome.
The weather is wonderful. It's November.
I can still believe it's 20 degrees.
It's fantastic.
It's good to be back in Italy.
I just wanted to show you
this magnificent Altare della Patria,
which is located in Piazza Venezia.
It is located on the path to the Colosseum.
It is one of my favorite monuments.
In Rome.
Then, let's go.
And now I've brought you
In the most iconic spot here in Rome,
the one and only.
The Colosseum, or as we call it,
The Colosseum.
Oh, what a beautiful country.
Now,
I think I am surprised,
We should go for an aperitif.
Let's go.
You can't miss an aperitif
in front of the Colosseum.
For dinner, we came here to
one of the most popular dishes
who in Rome, the baccalà.
This is the pâté.
with a salty elbow.
Very simple, but very traditional.
And we have come to, probably,
one of the most popular restaurants in the city
which is still very ancient,
full of classic Roman judgments
A way of speaking in dialect.
It was very beautiful.
And these are the punkins.
It's the Cicori family.
These are the potatoes.
Dress in a Roman style with anchovies.
And they also told me to put in the vinegar
and olive oil.
And there it is.
And now it's time to take them.
Let them cool down
inside
Oh, yes.
Oh, wow.
Mamma mia.
Very crispy
crispy.
Not gray, so sweet.
Not fish. Oh, wow.
You can't do harm with cod in Rome.
And let's also try the puntarelle.
Oh, let's mix everything together.
Sorry about the anchovy flavor.
This is very unique in Rome.
A bit salty because
of the anchovy, a bit sweet because
The puntarelle are a bit sweet, crunchy,
So refreshing. Oh, truly lovely.
Every dinner in Italy
It must end with a dessert.
And what we have taken is
Crostata at home with ricotta
And vice versa. So let's begin
with the ricotta. The alleyways are
The absurd onions.
Oh, wow.
Feel the sweetness of ricotta
and then the sweet and absurd
point
onions' faces, absurd.
I really missed my food.
I've truly missed this food.
I am like a child.
You're enjoying things as if it were my first time.
Wow, that's fantastic.
Good morning. This is the second day
from La Capitale.
It is 9 o'clock in the morning.
And now I will show you the best
The way to start your day here in Rome.
Let's go.
A strawberry.
A maritozzo.
Two cappuccinos.
For coffee
We have come to another one
iconic coffee
who in Rome.
Pastry rules.
This is a classic Roman.
This is a small tart.
so a cake with small onions
and cream.
And then the maritozzo with cream,
What is this soft cream with cream?
This is a recipe from our kitchen
It went on for centuries,
probably three or four hundred.
In reality, it does not mean
asbegnere.
The legend said that sometimes
The girls called her
A soft cream
with a kilo of cream on top.
Bon appétit.
Mamma mia.
The cream is absolutely soft.
It's like a sweet brioche,
which in reality isn't too sweet.
Mamma mia, it's a bomb.
The last time I ate it
I don't know, ten years ago.
And now this giant cake
completely filled
of ingredients.
The onions.
The cake is extraordinary.
Crisp, elegant, soft.
This is the reason why
Do you want to wake up in the morning?
Ah, what a breakfast.
Oh guys, if you want a real one
maritozzo with cream,
which is a must-try here in Rome
You have to come here.
I'm full, I need to digest.
So let's go for a walk.
We have arrived at Campo de' Fiori.
which is probably my favorite part of the city,
Why is the night so lively,
You can taste a cocktail,
a drink and stay outside
until nightfall. During the day it is very
popular because there is a market,
They sell local products, clothing, and everything else.
And, of course, flowers, because
Campo de' Fiori means flowers.
And it is also full of
tiny yellow ones, where you can get
A good Roman snack.
Let's go.
Let's look at all the spices.
This is very famous
in our kitchen,
the Romanesco artichoke and the puntarelle
what we ate yesterday.
And the porcini.
In particular, right now, I'm in season
And they are very, very good.
Good morning.
Ah, look at the cheese.
Good morning.
Beautiful.
Beautiful Parmigiano. Ah, look at the porchetta.
Porchetta, rosetta, and coppiette.
Typical
Roman cuisine.
Right next to the market there is
a famous local union
called Norcineria Viola,
which has been open since 1890 and faces
What are they for? Salami, cheese,
Everything is local,
Italian, even in our region,
Lazio. The flavor
It's incredible, almost
extraordinary
Let me introduce myself. We have Parmigiano,
Pecorino Romano cheese
A couple of other cheeses. These are called
puntarelle, which is a type of
porcino, therefore the dry pork.
And then we have the ham, the ounce
and four types of salami.
All accompanied by the local beer.
And this is my favorite part.
Pane, prosciutto
e
This spicy cheese.
How much have I eaten of this? Enjoy your meal.
Mamma mia.
We're out of ham,
This is how ham is,
that goes into the mouth. The spicy cheese,
Fresh bread. Let's try the puntarelle.
They should be a bit spicy.
Let's see.
Oh, yes, they're a bit spicy.
Dusted lightly with a brush,
I believe. You can see the cherry tree above.
Oh, really, really beautiful. I lost this.
Let's get the salami too. Oh, this is classic.
Watch out, with the pepper.
This is how my childhood was.
Ok, let's go for the last one.
A couple of cheeses. My favorite
It's pecorino, but I don't think so
You fit this cheese perfectly.
Look, this is a bit spicy
And soft. The Pecorino Romano
And Parmesan is a cheese.
Pepe,
Pepe, why the soft cheese
It's so good. I was watching
I think there must have been
Enough. This is
A cold sausage. I'm a bit
a nostalgic person
We wanted to
cold cheeses and eggs.
My mom used to do it.
I really wanted to take one. It reminds me
Mamma mia,
It's so good.
Wow, this is a bomb.
It's really soft and fatty.
You might think it's dry,
but it isn't.
It's not salty, just a little pepper.
It depends on how they do it.
It's really, really good.
Hello and thank you very much.
Likewise. Bye.
Come on, come on.
What do you recommend as a sandwich?
Yes.
It's fine.
All day long like this?
Another classic dish.
It's up to you whether it's a dish.
Or dinner. A sandwich with porchetta.
Sandwich
with porchetta, which is
a cold sausage
Fredda,
with panel, rosemary,
garlic and also a little pepper.
I think it's Umbrian style.
which is a region near the north,
not very far
from Rome.
I took a sandwich.
a Romanesco sandwich
with ingredients, olive oil, and onion.
Bon appétit.
Mamma mia.
This is
super mega
This is space.
It takes you to space.
First of all, the bread,
fresh and crunchy.
You can taste fresh, extra virgin olive oil.
Hey, the porchetta,
which is soft,
soft,
and for dinner
We arrived at a very local restaurant.
near Tivurtina Station
which is a bit far from the city center.
I came here with my father before
I am very learned.
from the food, the service, and the atmosphere.
And look at what we have.
This is my favorite entrée, bruschetta.
This is a selection of various types of bruschetta.
We have the classic with olive oil and salt,
pomodoro
prosciutto
This is the oil paste,
tomato and mozzarella.
I think this is something spicy.
Perhaps indulge,
It is the spicy sauce from Calabria.
Let's begin. For certainty, the first one
It must be this one.
Bon appétit!
Salad, sweet, sweet tomato and sweet,
crispy crust,
olive oil on top, so fresh.
Now it's time for this oil paste.
A little grated, almost.
A bit spicy.
Olive oil on top.
Usually in Italy, when you order the selection
on bruschetta,
You always have olive paste.
Let's move on. I don't know what this is.
I think it's procrastinating.
I like anchovies, especially on pizza.
What do you mean, telling you that?
That's what we say in Rome.
Oh yes, it's indulgent.
Oh, spicy.
A little tomato.
It's full of cherries and tomatoes.
When you put this on the pizza,
It will be in focus.
I did it.
Why do we have two pastas?
These are linguine allo scoglio.
With seafood, grated tomato,
garlic, white wine,
Beans. I got scared
while I am describing it.
I also made gnocchi.
In reality, small gnocchi,
potato gnocchi, of course
with Gorgonzola cheese,
what is blue cheese,
spicy, I say
that one with the bruschetta,
that spicy one.
Let's try the fish first,
which is lighter, less aggressive
in the taste.
Let's take the squid as well.
Bon appétit.
Oh, wow.
Watch the muscle.
Oh, so creamy.
Pasta al dente, it has a nice feeling
grated tomato and garlic.
Fresh food, straight from the sea.
Oh, my God.
This is exceptional.
Now it's time to try the gnocchi.
Oh.
Mmm.
OK.
A bit spicy because it's dengue.
Look, this is denduja,
It's rather spicy, very creamy
thanks to the gorgonzola cream
which is soft.
The cheese isn't too strong,
I was expecting a stronger flavor.
When in Rome, you must absolutely
to have the gnocchi
I haven't returned in nearly nine years
and, hey, walking through the city,
It's like tasting and appreciating.
The city and food
How I should have done it
before living in Italy.
Why, sometimes, to appreciate
certain things
to understand
Certainly things, you must not
Just a moment longer.
I hope you understand what I'm saying.
I am in love with this city.
Good morning.
Then,
four pieces, one with ham
And the mozzarella?
Thank you very much.
Third day here in Rome.
We cannot leave the city
without the famous
pizza by the slice
Mamma mia!
Bonci Pizzeria, very close
at the Vatican, documentaries
And so on.
Probably the most expensive pizza
whatever he may have eaten, but I'm sure
That's good. Look,
This is a spicy salami.
with cheese cream and tomato base.
This one is with ham and mozzarella,
I believe, sugars
tomato base.
This one is with pancetta,
potatoes and sausage
This one is with pancetta,
which is a carefully raised chicken, eggs, and potatoes.
Another thing I forgot
It's the classic
Romanoff soufflé,
What is bread?
tomato-based
the mozzarella.
Oh, the tomato base is a bit sweet,
crispy,
Good mozzarella, soft bread,
just a bit al dente.
Then, it's time
For the pizza. I have to start with this.
It has been recommended
from one of the guys there.
Pancetta, sausage, rosemary
Crispy. Bon appétit!
Perfect base!
Crispy!
The tomato is so creamy, sweet.
You have acidity and taste
of the sausage. I've never tried it
such a combination before.
Now,
this, with pancetta
Eggs. Look at the bacon,
the fat, the basil
above, eggs.
It's all about the bacon.
Pepe, grated,
salted, the egg, that gives
The creaminess. Just a touch.
in finely chopped potatoes.
And now it's time for one of my favorites,
The one with ham.
This is a classic Italian.
You can't do harm with ham.
Above the daisy.
I'm dancing, I'm dreaming.
My mozzarella, finely sliced,
Prosciutto. Prosciutto is my favorite.
Pure meat of all times.
A bit of painting from the rocks.
The cream.
Super crispy.
This is the winner, I already know it.
And now the last one, spicy salami,
tomato base, prosciutto
a potato in the middle,
if I'm not mistaken, and
cheese and egg cream
Bon appétit.
I like egg cheese.
The cream is a bit
Heavy. It's like egg cream,
but a bit flavorful.
After trying them all, they're fantastic.
What makes the difference?
The ingredients, but I think the cream is
The most important thing. My favorite
It must be the one with the ham. It's a place
Very popular. We went there 30 minutes ago.
Before opening, there were people online.
The place is really
crunchy for both tourists and locals. It's a bit
Expensive, but I think you should try one.
In Rome. It's a suggestion.
Let's finish our video
in another country,
in the Vatican.
We are in the beautiful Piazza San Pietro,
in front of the Basilica.
They're doing a bit of renovation.
They are actually preparing for the
service tomorrow morning, assisted by
The people themselves. The people are in line
To enter the Basilica, just to visit it.
It is a closure of 1 kilometer.
It's beautiful.
We greatly appreciated our time together.
And I just wanted to ask Shirley
What was his
favorite kitchen here in Rome
On this journey. Did you enjoy your first time?
Who's in Rome? It's my first time.
And I appreciated it so much.
Rome is a beautiful city.
What was your favorite cuisine?
Ah, okay.
It's hard to choose, but I'd say
the soap paste.
And also the pizza
what we have done
Today has been truly, truly
Really good.
The pizza this morning was incredible.
Ok Max, tell me what your
favorite kitchen
It's hard to choose.
Why did I have
Good cooking over the last 3 days.
But I must
go for the Amatriciana
the first day we had,
which was illegal,
and the pizza we had today
It was on another level.
In any case, we must finish our video.
I hope you enjoyed it, because we have
a stroll through the city
