YUCK!!! An Italian Tries the Olive Garden Menu | AMERICANS REACT 

Us Italians are used to eat really fresh foods...nothing processed ...but I can understand American that never tasted real Italian cuisine ...love from Italy 🇮🇹♥

Nothing like Alfredo exists in Italy. What you call Alfredo (who btw is a single Restaurant in Rome) is something we make at home or in the hospitals for sick people. We never use milk cream and it's just some butter melted by hot pasta with a bit of parmigiano cheese on top.

"Italian food isn’t the result of a single culinary style. It is a delectable mosaic of many regional cooking traditions that stem from each province’s geography and climate, agriculture, history, and culture. Each region provides a different flair-the truffles in Piedmont as authentically Italian as the gelato in Rome, inside the Lazio region. While Italian food, with its myriad regional flavors, does not have a national character, the Italian way of eating does: a reverence for local ingredients, sensitively and simply prepared, and enjoyed alongside family and friends, slowly, and with gusto" Greetings from Milan, Italy

If i see: Chicken + Shrimps + CARBONARA i'm calling an exorcist for that ABOMINATION 🤢

I am tuscan born and bred and i've never seen something like that "tuscan soup" in all my life... 😂😂😂

I love the italian cuisine, it consists of few, fresh and high quality ingredients that are prepared with love, so that you can still recognize the taste of each ingredient! What was presented was a bunch of cheap ingredients (canned or frozen) stirred together by someone who obviously can't cook! I wouldn't be surprised if the whole dish was frozen and then completely thrown in the microwave! Also, the number of ingredients that don't go/taste together at all is not Italian at all! Americans cook according to the motto: more is better! Italians on the other hand say: less is more!!! That's why REAL Italian cuisine is popular all over the world!

Wow! Even as a German I can see that this all isn't authentic Italian. Since we had lots of Italians migrating to Germany after WWII, and lots of them did put up Ice Cafés or Restaurants, and moreover Italy isn't THAT far away........ well...... I confess I never heard about half of this Olive Garden stuff. Fried Lasagne? No Italian would ever have the idea to deepfry a good Lasagne! It really was a pain to watch that, but the worst of all in my opinion was this Chicken-Shrimp-Carbonara thingy! I really whished that we could "beam" stuff with Star Trek technology, so I could ask some Italian restaurant owner from here to beam those Olive Garden Chefs the real stuff for comparing!

No Italians were injured in the making of this, however American pride was

Fettuccine Alfredo do not exist in Italy. We don't have that dish. Now some restaurant do because of American tourists, but not restaurants where Italians go.

Even as a Swede in the US,Olive Garden makes me cringe.Whenever the destination is OG,I'll have a salad and a bunch of fruity drinks 😎.Here's a tip,don't touch the bread sticks,they got more oil on em than an old Mercedes diesel engine.It's so weird.

That was very difficult to watch. Poor guy. 😅 And HOW can you mess up Tiramisu??? HOW? 😱

Ah, fettuccine alfredo is an italian american dish, even if was born in italy someway, never heard or eaten it here 😂

This was a nightmare experience for him and it will be for other italians too.

You can cook well in America, there are excellent products but, to make an excellent dish you need the Italian culture to make an Italian dish. It is not enough to assemble the ingredients but it takes time to add the ingredients. whoever wants can come and see, taste the Italian dishes.

the crazy thing is that italian cooking is very easy to do and they use simple ingredients to make fantastic stuff. Its not technical like french or something. Just make it yourself at home and you get better results even in the first try.

He looks like Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory 😂😂😂

There is no dish like fettuccine Alfredo in Italy! It was invented in the USA

the problem is, what you call cheese has nothing to do with cheese :D

To answer you... Sauce Alfredo DOESN'T EXIST in Italy. In some cities, they do it for tourists! The receipt is only pasta, butter and parmigiano reggiano. Love from Italy ❤

I caught a video of this couple much earlier. He really enjoyed a "southern BBQ", it's not your typical YT Italian going off on anything not authentic Italian.

fettuccine mixed in the cheese is the "trendy" and the simple pasta with butter and parmigiano reggiano is common! is called "burro e parmigiano" and has some lover like me but it is considered a meal for the sick, with some reason...

As Italian I would never tolerate this torture.

Alfredo pasta doesn't exist, it sucks. It's a dish that was created by an Italian immigrant to America.

I wonder how Italian cuisine can be liked if they really make people believe that this stuff is Italian, our cuisine is very simple, but very tasty, you instead believe you can make better dishes by combining together unproposable ingredients... if you come to Italy go and look for non-tourist restaurants, and you will never set foot in pseudo Italian restaurants again! Our gastronomic culture is so rooted that we know what we are doing! 😊😅

You should react to Pasta Grammar, he is American, she is italian from Calabria and they cook authentic italian food recipes 😊!

You can find spaghetti also with ragù sauce in Italy ❤

To Spencer here is something fun you could do to Daniel ..take him and you to the ikea restaurant and rate the food since he gates it lol

Almost all of this things are not for humans In Italy if you try to serve something like this police arrest you😂😂😂😂 for real

Oh, here we have one of the most delicious dishes. Let's deep-fry it and sprinkle some chemical cheese on top afterwards! People will love it and die early...

The original Lasagna only with besciamella, never ricotta.❤

Carbonara ..... Guanciale (if you don't have bacon but is not the same) eggs black pepper and Roman pecorino cheese

Zuppa Toscana= TUSCANY'S SOUP

Alfredo sauce is American it´s not Italian. Besides that the for Alfredo used American cheese is not anything which Italians would even consider as "cheese"

The problem are not only the ingredients (which are different if we talk about quality), it's mainly the person palate (I don't know how to say it in English: the sense of taste maybe?). I try to explain better (sorry for English): a person from a country has a palate for that food (eat that from childhood) and if that food is usually of good/very good quality, it's inevitable that if it tastes a dish by a restaurant chains (which sells cheap food useful to fill the stomach) it can't feel any quality. I'm talking just about quality because it's useless to talk about authenticity, I think that by now even Americans understood that what they eat in the US is not Italian cuisine (which by the way doesn't exist, the Italian is a regional cuisine) but an Italian-American cuisine, ie, that who the immigrants, almost all from the South of Italy, brought with them and adapted to the tastes of their new country (as is normal and right, cuisine evolves according to the culture and tradition of the country you are in). That said, in these days luckily, even in the US, there are Italian restaurants and pizzerias where (even an Italian) eats well (again, it's almost always Italian-American cuisine, but there is nothing wrong with that).

I apologize on behalf of all Italians. It is right that Americans can eat according to their tastes. But you must understand that for us Italians, recipes are prayers that are celebrated in the kitchen and it is a blasphemy to get the ingredients wrong > Those at Olive Gardens should just change the name of their recipes.

Looking at fried ravioli I think immediately at one dish that we have in Sardinia wich is Seadas that basically is something like that even if the pasta is prepared with lard(?) when regular's ravioli pasta isn't.

TBH I think that the lasagna with ricotta exist as a neapolitan dish, but most of all in Italy we eat lasagna alla bolognese, which has besciamel and not ricotta in it. That's the reason whgy he is so surprised. Maybe a poerson form Napoli wouldn't find it so strange. Given anyway the low quality of this particular dish.

Pasta and beans (fagioli)

In Italia olive garden chiuderebbe nell arco di 24 h😂e poi cosa sono queste tagliatelle Alfredo??in Italia non esistono, e stato creato da un italo americano per venire incontro ai gusti degli americani, solo loro possono mangia quello schifo 😅

@lucapolidori8817 I have only heard of "Alfredo" in US movies or TV shows. Seriously, even meatballs ?¨? In how many Italian restaurants in europe can you order meatballs ? I can not say I have been all over Italy, but I have never seen a real restaurant where you can order meatballs.... must have been unlucky. And "carbonara" is only olive oil, panceta, eggs and pecorino... but like my friend from northern Italy told me, this is the recipe from is village/region, it can vary very quicly from place to place but never put "crème fraîche" or bacon etc in it

Alfredo sauce you think is italian but Alfredo sauce doesnt even exist in italy...its american creation

Not true: lasagna has ricotta too, like in the south we do it with besciamella or ricotta too but it taste amazing if done well 😂. The best one is in Bologna anyway (without ricotta).

meatballs are not even italien

Alessio, this guy from Italy, it's from north of italy... for us from south of Italy (i'm from Naples), people in the north don't have or do good cuisine. Years before it was a huge difference between north and sputh of italy food, now north of italy is full of people from the south so now you can find good food there too 😂 Just joking guys❤ But let me tell you, at the end of the day, every italian place has his italian best food. You can find things incredibly good like in Emilia romagna that here in the south we are not even close. So, really, every place has their best and in its own, italy has incredible food and i feel so lucky ❤ Especially cause we eat a lot of fresh food and not so processed and full of chemicals forbidden in europe that you can find in the US.

Whadda mistaka to make ah

Italian-American cuisine is a poor copy of the worst that Southern Italian cuisine has to offer.

Americans may be good at many things, but cooking, or trying to cook real Italian food, is not one of them, we appreciate you trying, but no thanks, if I took a 7 day vacation in the US, I would come home malnourished and dehydrated. I wouldn't even trust restaurants that call themselves "Italian".

tHE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT aMERICAN CHEESE IS NOT CHEESE.
