PIZZA!
Pizza Scarpetta
Where are you going without me?
I'm going to Italy
Yes, let's try this pizza, pasta, everything
Let's try it
Excited?
Let's go
What are we gonna order?
We're definitely getting pizza
We're definitely getting pasta
It's the famous
It's the famous what?
The famous New York City tap water
Yeah
Pasta fresca more
Check the menu and tell us what you're gonna order
Okay, we're doing a pizza margherita
We're gonna try pasta fresca
Tagliatelle alla bolognese
Oh, risky
And then, bucatini cacio e pepe
which is pasta secca, normal pasta
And then that's it, right?
Why don't you dig in and try it, amore?
Yes
It's actually really good
It's good?
Yeah
You wanna try?
Yeah, I do
It's actually really good
I give a good point for this pasta
Okay
Not like Italy, this pasta
But we are there
It's good, but it's not 100% like Italy
Exactly
But it's good
It's good
Cacio e pepe?
Yes
What vote do you give?
Seven
Me too
Seven
Okay
Seven
All right, let's try cacio e pepe
I am an expert
You are an expert
So
You eat Rome cacio e pepe like crazy
What are my favorite pastas?
The pasta al dente, which I appreciate
No
I'm not sure
You wanna try, amore?
I try
Pecorino
Strong pecorino
We're at pasta al dente
Correct
Cream, but not like Rome
Yeah
It cannot be Rome
Yeah
So
Six and a half, seven?
I was gonna give it a six
Because I appreciate the cook of the pasta
And I appreciate that they offer cacio e pepe
Because I can't ever find it in the US
So I'm happy
But it's not up to the Rome standard
We compare it to Italy
Yes
Compare it to United States
It's the same
This is a nine
Yeah
And a ten
Exactly
Compare it to your neighborhood Olive Garden
Of course
But we're being super super strong
And comparing to Italy
Exactly
We compare it to Italy
So
If I was in New York
Living here
Definitely I was eating this
Me too
I was really happy
Like a seven and a eight
Me too
But if I compare it to Italy
This is a
Seven and a six and a half
Six and a half, seven
Yeah
It's still really good
The cream is super super deep inside
So you gotta get that
To be able to get cream
It's a solid seven
A solid seven
Yeah
A solid seven
Almost a seven and a half
About the tagliatelle
You know
I need to say
You can feel the difference between
The meat
It's supposed to be 50-50
And here they have it
So they really make authentic stuff here
Yeah
I'm really surprised
Like my score
If I need a programmation for United States
Is like nine
Like I can
I agree
Never eat so good in United States
Like here
And
Best Italian food
If you go to Bologna
It is
Obviously the level is more high
I think the dry pasta
In Bologna
Is better processed than here
Because we're still in New York
In the restaurant
But
Amazing
And now
Pizza
Yesterday we came here
For the first time
With the pizza
And I already know
This is amazing
Yesterday
When they came the pizza
I already see
How looks the pizza
And I was thinking
Yeah
This
Could be
Today
When I look at the pizza
I say
Oh
Could be different
If the cook is changing
And then change
The quality
The experience
The experience don't change at all
Good
This is the best pizza
Ever
That you can find
In United States
But
You can beat some
In Italy
Even with this
When I go in Tuscany
In Sicily
This beat
Tuscany and Sicily
Beat Tuscany and Sicily
We never been to Naples
We have to go to Naples
But this
The cook
I think yesterday
Was from Naples
I hear the accent
You have to eat
This pizza
Absolutely
Amore
Say again
Because
It is amazing
That's it
It really does rival
A lot of the pizzas
I've had in Italy
Yeah
If you're looking for
Authentic Italian pizza
In the United States
You have to come here and try this
Even the plates are authentic
Oh yeah
I miss these pizza plates
Yeah
It's a miracle to me
That they have made the dough
Have the same flavor
As it has in Italy
It's very soft
Amazing
Do you know what
Missing or to be
Over the top
A drizzle in the
Italian olive oil
It's missing the Italian olive oil
I don't know if Naples
They're doing like
With the olive oil
But they're gonna be proud of me
Because I'm eating with my hands
I know
We're eating with our hands
For the first time
I'm eating with
Knife and fork
Not across
But I'm eating like this
We're doing in North Italy
We're doing even in other places
I think the difference is though
This is a margarita
So there's less toppings
If we had a pizza
With a lot of toppings
Maybe it would be
No
The difference is
When you eat with knife and fork
You actually enjoy the pizza
And then
You calm down
The stomach
Okay
When you eat with hands
Usually I do it
When I'm super angry
I finish the pizza
In two seconds
And I'm still angry
With knife and fork
You enjoy it
The flavors
It's more of an experience
It's experience
That you're still eating
Exactly
Then everybody can do
Whatever they want
If you follow me
Knife and fork
What are you doing, Amore?
A pizza scarpetta
You dip pizza
In the ragu
The crust
Which is so good
You have to order a loo
This is a recipe
You always cook, Amore
And everybody says
Oh, it's so simple
Yes
A revolution
Exactly
In five ingredients
American people
Cannot understand me
When I say
Simplicity is the way
The best
Simplicity is key
Oh, hey, Amore
It's fancy seeing you here
I was looking for the pasta
I don't know the brand
I tried to figure out
You know, if it's dry
Low dry pasta
Something like that
And they're not writing that
Because
No means
High price quality
Actually
It is an ingredient
That should be low
When you do dry pasta
Like really dry pasta
To make really good pasta
But
They don't write here
So
So about pesto
I'm really excited to try
One from Sicily
It is pesto
Al pistachio
Or like the Americans say
Pistachio
And
A pesto
Genovese
Right, Amore?
So we are excited for the
To buy the pesto
Al pistachio
Oh my gosh
Because when we were in Sicily
And we had this
Pesto
Al pistachio
Correct?
Yes
It was incredible
Sicily can not do pizza
But they're doing
Really good
With pistachio
Everything pistachio
Is
Pistachio
The gelato
Cannoli
Pesto
Al pistachio
Is the best
The best
Do I have anything in my teeth?
Yeah
Wow
Look at that
30 feet
Amore, tell me
No, nothing
Panettone
Al pistachio
It is pricey
For a panettone
Oh wow
Nice
Stay here
Oh
For my Italian friends
Parmigiano Reggiano
17
And 60
Dollars
For a small gratu gelato
Memorable
I wonder how much that is
5,000 dollars
Instead to invest gold
I need to invest in
Parmigiano Reggiano
In the United States
It is gold
Oh
17 dollars
This
You know how much you can buy in Italy
With this
How much would you get in Italy
For 17 dollars
How many pieces
I mean
Parmigiano Reggiano
Is pricey
I'm fair
Yeah, I think so
I'm fair
Maybe a little bit more
Depends where you are
The world's best
I thought you had
The world's best tiramisu
My recipe is the best
I almost want to buy it
For see
How is the best
And how much cost
Let's see
Oh wait, it's down here
17 dollars
For the best tiramisu
It doesn't have
It has mascarpone and eggs
So it does look authentic
It looks authentic, yeah
Why it's the best
Authentic
Good ingredient
It's the best
Okay, but
For riding the bus
You need to have my face on
You want to sponsor
So
A canolo
Right?
A canolo
If it fit or not
Okay
Anything
Any flavor for the canoli
Oh
Pistachio
So they fill up
The canoli
So
Should be good
Cause the key is
Never, never, never
Buy a canoli already made
You need it fill up
If you see a canoli made
In the glass container
Just throw it away
It looks like this
Italian
So far they look good
This looks Italian
The baba
They are
Looking different
But
Maybe for simplicity
The moment of truth
Canolo from
Italy
Pistachio
Not bad
No comparison
Sicily at all
You know Sicily
Hard to beat Sicily
But
Man
It's not bad for to be New York
Canolo
Really
I gotta try it
Solid
It's not over
Pistachio
Right?
Right
In Sicily there was
It needed a little bit of a dip
In the fresh
Crumbled
Pistachio
It's pretty good
The cream I love it
The cream is good
The shell is missing something
It's missing
Can beat Sicily
Yeah
But it's not bad
It's not bad
Not bad
6
For encouragement
For US
7.5
Ok
7.5 for US
I mean
This is my first canolo
In US
You're gonna change the score later
Ok
Yeah
We're gonna do a canoli test
So
Empty
It's ok
Points deducted
For not getting the cream
All the way in
Oh yeah
Not all the way
I wish to have this
In a heart state
Because
It is my breakfast
Every morning
A couple goccele
I buy it
And a coffee
Oh yeah
Like a bag of goccele
A bag
In here
It's not
Even a tomorrow
It's not an Italy review
Without a scoop of gelato
Of course
We have to know
Ok
Wow
So you go first
We have to know
Let's go try this
Pistacchio here
In a quiet area
A New York
Quiet area
Alright
Wait a second
Ok Ma
Before I put this ice cream
To the
Empire building
We need to try
And see if it's worth it
Oh that's right
I mean
If not
It's gonna be a
Treasure there
For
Go ahead
You're gonna be the first
I'm worried about
The consistency already
It's really
Thick
I don't see happiness
So we're not there
But again
We're a hundred times
Closer than anything else
Let's see
The real judge
Here
In the United States
We are not there
But because
Like
The consistency
The flavor of the pistachio
Is great
Yes
Like
But the consistency
Is so thick
It's thick
It's missing something
This has
Potential to arrive
At ten
Yeah
But
For America
This is a ten
Exactly
For Italian
This is
A six
Because the price
Ok
If we have New York
A six dollars for Apple
I mean
It looks two
But
It's New York
Let's say New York
Ok
But yeah
It's not that bad
We're there
But not quite there
Right?
It's missing something
With the consistency
It's too thick
Too thick
It doesn't have the light
And creaminess
That you have
In Italy
It's like melt in your mouth
In Italy
This is maybe
In Italy
Where they try to trick you
Ah yes
Like
It's like
Nice
But no real good gelato
Yeah
So I want to show you guys
What we mean
So usually
You could just
Dig your spoon in there
And scoop it out easily
But this
You really have to
I'm scared the spoon
Is going to break
Exactly
The siren
Is for this
Illegal
Things
This is
Italian
Coming
Waiting
It shouldn't be this hard
To like spoon out
You know
Yeah
But the flavor
Is not bad
Yes
You're going to eat it
Or what?
I'll try it
You see how
Terrible it is
Like
Look
It's like glue
So we got to
Take it back a little bit
Because we said we were there
But not quite there
I don't know
If we're even quite there
The flavor
The flavor is good
It's not bad
It's not
Fake flavor
Hey
You remember when we
Go eat the pistachio
Yes
If you didn't see
The ice cream
Pistachio video
But this is
I don't want to spend
This money for this
The texture is crazy
And this was
Seven dollars
Hey
We come back
From Italy
Micha
How you think about
New York?
Let me zoom
She loves New York
She loves it
Let me shoot that
You love New York
So
You see the nose
She has a little
Injure
So
She need to recover
This little baby
Now
She want to go sleep
Ok
We finish
Our experience
To Italy
We was trying to say
Oh let's filming
Home
Cosy
Like
Without no sounds
New Yorky
Party
Out there
The neighbors are doing
A big party
Music
So
What do you think about
The food
It was a good week
Overall
I really enjoyed it
I was very
Impressed
Pleasantly surprised
And
I would say
Compared to other
Italian places
That you can find
In the US
This tops
Everything
This tops
Everything we've ever had
Italian food wise
In the US
So far
Yes
So far
Compared to what you get
In Italy
Some of it was close
Some of it was
Potentially
A little bit
Equal or better
Some of it wasn't
Quite there yet
I would get the pizza
Then for me
The cacio e pepe
Was really good too
Yeah
Me pizza
I was go there
Eating pizza
And then
Probably I was going
To the tagliatelle
Now we're going to have
To move to New York City
So that we can
Eat all the food
Here all the time
Cos it's going to be
Cheaper than
Plane tickets to Italy
Yes
We love it
So I hope
You get a thumbs up
Thumbs up for New York
So this could be
A big move
To come live in New York
I mean
I'm more happy right now
For the pizza
We go apartment hunting
Maybe
In the next video
See you to the next
Ciao
