Trying the First Fettuccine Alfredo! Italy's Biggest TOURIST TRAP?

If you love the channel consider supporting me on Patreon at Patreon.com/UAEats! Fettuccine Alfredo is the most famous Italian American pasta dish. It's also the most Americanized and the least authentic by far! Most people who are familiar with authentic Italian pasta know that fettuccine alfredo is perhaps one of the fakest pastas there is, with the mark of an obvious tourist being asking for fettuccine alfredo in an Italian restaurant in Italy. However, fettuccine alfredo indeed does have origins in Italy, in Rome specifically! The original fettuccine alfredo restaurant is Alfredo alla Scrofa Restaurant in Rome, which has been selling the first ever fettuccine Alfredo for more than 100 years! This restaurant absolutely is historical, but is it a tourist trap? Or is it preserving what made the dish so incredible back then? The original fettuccine alfredo recipe after all was not the American fettuccine alfredo recipe. The original recipe was just butter, cheese, and fettuccine. Super simple, not much else. Is it worth the hype or is a tourist trap? We'll find out together! Like and Subscribe if you like my vids!
