if i have to wait for my pizza "forever" i am moving to another table !! Comment from : virgilio1956

if you want you can aks to cut your pizzait's not a problem I don't know in Rome, but it's quite common it's not something offensive, the scarpetta is much more "rude" for the etiquette you shouldn't do the scarpetta, but if you do it it's not a problem at all, but it's not classybut it's sooo goood!!! XDD and if you want a wine or a coke with pizza no one makes a problem! I don't know if romans are so severe , but where I live I always order wine or coke with pizza! Comment from : Mina_Ophelia

La "scarpetta" è una usanza che si può fare se si è invitati ad un pranzo o una cena in una casa privata ed in quel caso è un complimento per chi ha cucinato, si può fare anche se si mangia in una trattoria ma non è considerato "educato" farlo in un ristorante di alto livellobrIl "riposo" è una usanza legata alla geografia: a nord si usa molto poco o per niente ma scendendo verso sud il clima è più caldo e nelle regioni del sud l'orario più caldo della giornata viene vissuto con un breve sonno ristoratore che permette di sopportare meglio l'alta temperatura e ricarica le energie, ma non è solo una usanza Italiana: tutte le nazioni calde come Spagna, Messico hanno la "siesta" ed altri come in medio oriente in ogni caso riposano nelle ore caldebrIl caffè in Italia in realtà è di due tipi: quello che si beve al bar o nei locali pubblici di solito fatto da una macchina per il caffè ed il tipo di caffè che molti adorano, fatto in casa con una caffettiera chiamata Moka o un'altra chiamata Napoletana che viene preparato sui fornelli di cucina in casabrPersonalmente preferisco quello del bar ma a Napoli il caffè della Moka o della Napoletana è quasi una religione ed è quasi obbligatorio bere un piccolo bicchiere d'acqua dopo averlo bevutobrUn grande uomo di teatro come Peppino De Filippo ha sempre inserito scene nelle sue commedie di teatro in cui si spiega come si dovrebbe godere il caffèbrNon è assolutamente vero che non si possa bere vino ( bianco ) con la pizza ed il fatto che quasi tutti bevano birra è solo una preferenza ma non un obbligo: per esempio se io vado a mangiare una pizza bevo vino che scelgo a seconda del tipo di pizza ordinatabrComplimenti per i tuoi video Comment from : Marco Tullio Penovi

Посещавай по–често Италия, за да запознаеш с начина на живот и храната Дори и да не знаеш местните особености на правилата, италианците са тактични и добронамерени, защото разбират, че си чужденец Стига да не си прекалено скандален Comment from : Марта Карадимова

Also in Venice we do “scarpetta” after a dish of pasta or meat It’s quite normal In the video you show fioei di zucca fritti instead of calamari fritti (pumpkin fried flowers) Comment from : Andrea Polert

Scarpetta is common not say mandatory 😅 here in Greece too 😮 Comment from : Μαρία Καραβαγγέλη

Oh, Sardegna! Costa Esmeralda! The Beautiful!! Comment from : OtrezanniLomot

Margaritas pizza is most delicious! With salata del mare for appetizer Comment from : OtrezanniLomot

Very nice Anna! Love your videos, specially about food in Rome, which happens to be my hometown, born in Rome but left when I was not even three years old to Madrid, Spain, now I live in the United States Although I'm a grown retired man, watching all this and looking at you in Rome, it bring tears to my eyes Forza Roma, ciao carina, tu sei belissima Comment from : Marcos S

Love your video's, my favorite being Italy🇮🇪🍕 My dearest friends who I met in the states are from Rome In the three years we were together I learned so much, from Italian cooking, language, hand gestures, jokes, songs and basically Italian culture So when I visited them in Rome there was very little culture shock Italians are very generous, warm , loving people If they like you, you are famiglia and they roll out the red carpet when you visit Keep the video's coming❤ Comment from : Mary Lott

Povera Italia, tutto ridotto solo al cibo Comment from : Maria Longeri

I’m Italian, i live in Sicily and yes, we do the “scarpetta” 🎉 but not in every case ☹️ we use to do it only when we are in some types of restaurant… yes we have different type of restaurant… “ristorante” (the classic) or “trattoria” it is like a normal restaurant but most of the time “”less chic”” and usually more cheap… so, when we are in a restaurant a little bit chic (like for an event, or a party, ecc…) we never, NEVER do the “scarpetta thing” (it’s simply a matter of elegance and Bon Ton) BUT, when we are in a “trattoria”, or at home with friends, or in any case in a situation more “casual” and friendly, we do the scarpetta!!! Comment from : Davide DAmico

There're very few Starbucks in Italy Comment from : GG Live

Une des meilleures gastronomie au monde, il y'a d'autres biensur chère Anna🌈🌍🌈 Comment from : Fred De Paiva

The One on appetizers Is not quite true You can ask the waiter ti bring all at the same time and they Will do It with no problem Comment from : Joemi Tuosto

Enjoy your videos Anna Thank you I was wondering, if willing to share, where Anna is from originally? Comment from : Trebor Elknuk

riposo means siesta Comment from : Mary Cutajar

i am from Malta and we do use bread to mop up the gravy or sauce when the food is eaten Comment from : Mary Cutajar

I'm from Sardinia and we know and do scarpetta since childwood Never thought was a Rome thing :)brTrue, shops are closed at lunch time in Italy (now I live in UK and it really seems incredible to me how I used to go out at 5 pm as the shops were opening again after lunch break and here at 5 everything is shutting down) But for Sardinia and I think also most of the south, if you went there in the summer is just normal, people don't go out of their homes in the heat At 2 pm in my region, in summer could be 40 degrees It's just because you don't want to die xD lol Comment from : Valeria Ornano

Nice job Not a problem with us any more, but being on time in Italy, is not a thing So when you visit, learn to go with the Italian concept of time , and just chillbr😊 Comment from : John Connery

it's a costume in all italy ,and i am from Venice we say : you don't have enjoied your meal fully if you don't do SCARPETTA Comment from : Roger Nordio

Loved it Except trying to smooth out a lira for access to public loo !! Comment from : Sam Call

In Florence, we definitely do the scarpetta!!!! Comment from : Michael John Angel

Hello from CanadabrLove your videos Just started watching brQuestion: what if you can't eat all your food, especially a big dinner meal Do they give you take away (foam) containers? Or maybe this is not a thing in Italy or is considered rude to ask for container?? Comment from : Linda Beaulieu

Ciao, you are very talented and very nice I live in Rome but I suggest you also visit Abruzzo and try its specialties and the quiet life of small villages a warm greeting, Romano Comment from : Romano Sarra

Cheese should not go with any meat, not just fish period Comment from : Harsh Parmar

I'm from Bari and I'm not shocked because I am really Italian I'm glad you enjoy it 🇮🇹🇨🇦🥰👍🏻 Comment from : Nicoletta Vitulli

Put pineapple on pizza is a crime Comment from : AngelusFromHell

No pineapple pizza?? Well there go my travel plans 😅 Comment from : Leslie Littleton

So, with the latte thing, if you want to order a latte (the coffe drink most people imagine under the name latte) does it have like its specific name or something or do Italians simply not know that? JUst curious about that Comment from : Rox

Funny thing, I'm actually used to doing the thing with bread (scarpetta as Italians call it) every time I eat a meal with bread (non Italian here btw) Comment from : Rox

Italians, Greek, and Egyptians share a lot of tradition!! 🇮🇹 🇬🇷 🇪🇬 Comment from : Samsung Phone

Riposo / siesta is SUCH a civilized practice! Much of Mediterranean culture results from CENTURIES / MILLENIA of trial and error Comment from : Douglas Sauvageau

I am Italian and dying watching your videos about Italy 🤣🤣 Comment from : John Gaetani

milano gg Comment from : mattia

This woman and her crazed look is nuts!!!! Comment from : joe buck

First time visit to your channel and I liked it Thanks & ciao! Comment from : mr adventurer

I'm guessing Domino's doesn't have much of a foothold in Italy Comment from : jonescrusher1

The use of spoon for eating spaghetti is typical of south Italy only but is not used the same way as stranger do Comment from : Antonio Iozzi

Basilico, not origano for marinara Comment from : Antonio Iozzi

Really uselss videobunch of bollocks and stereotypesbrEven funnier the comments Comment from : Blue

Scarpetta in Italy is like bidet! Everyone gotta do it! A finished dish; and I finished clean holenothing beat bidet Comment from : Ettore

My grandmother was born in Matera! Comment from : Chiara C

I was taught scarpetto as a child I'm American of Italian heritage When I came to Florida, I learned that southerners also like scarpetto They call it "sopping" and typically use cornbread brI love scarpetto and believe that it's a sin to leave delicious sauce behind on the plate Buon appetito a tutti! Comment from : Chiara C

I thought it was odd that everyone got their own pizza I did not see people sharemaybe once, but rare Comment from : Jill

Thank you so much I really enjoy you chanel about Italy At least I will know a bit what do's and don'ts in Italy Comment from : suminy wijaya

Hello Anna Mam you a looking Beautiful gorgeous your video and idea nice good eveningGod bless you ❤❤❤ Comment from : James Anthony

My families roots are in Sicily, Palermo to be exact I currently live and was born in New York And my father has been cleaning his plate with bread ever since I can remember I'm 62 years old and have been Scarpetta-ing my whole life also ( did i just make up that word ) :) I'm so happy there was a word for this ( Scarpetta ) Love it Thank You Anna <3 Comment from : Joe Basile

Actually in italy proper etiquette says you must not use a spoon or cut spaghetti (or in general every long pasta), but I guess in the godfather the characters weren't exactly "proper etiquette" Comment from : Athos401

The biggest culture shock is the people are friendly and delightful even to visitors I went looking to buy a home there and fell in love with the country and people Comment from : John DiGiacomo

Mi sembri una italiana che parla inglese Comment from : gaetano di giorgio

e comune in tutta italia fare la scarpetta Comment from : Rosalia Lopez

12:16 this is totally unreal That waiters must have been unpolite and only wanted to mess up with you brIf you ask, they’ll do it brI think the reason why they bring it at the table without any cuts is to maintain as much as possible the right consistent, that’s it brFew days ago, I went to a pizzeria and I couldn’t really use my right hand, so I asked my boyfriend to cut my pizza too, and the waiter saw it and suddenly told me he could make the cut in few seconds brThat was just nice 👍🏻 Comment from : Sim0naSama

scarpetta es normal en Argentina, mojar el pancito, not only at the end, during a meal is accepted too Also riposo is normal, la siesta, la hora de la siesta is normal outside of Buenos Aires city Here bar is like Italy, bar is a coffee o aperitivo place, you can have pastry or appetizers o quick meals, order milk in a bar is weird here too, pasta of course here we eat it only with fork normally, may be in "elite" restaurants give you spoons Pizza here comes cut in slices normally, and you can eat it with the beverage of your preference We've got a predominant mix of Spanish and Italian culture, and others migrants, Cheers from Buenos Aires! Comment from : Candela Arq

7:34 is not riposo is abbiocco, but for worker isn't possible Comment from : A A R R E A S C S C S S C

Well, I am Italian and you are telling a lot of bullshitsbr1 Waiters usually ask if they can bring pasta to somebody while the others are having appetizers By the way I really never saw calamari fritti as appetizersbr2 Pizza romana does not exist There is pizza and pizza napoletana which is actually thicker You should not be allowed to eat pizza any longer if you really eat pizza with pineapple You are a criminalbrBy the way, is Espòsito and not Esposíto Ignorante! And he "invented" pizza Margherita for our Queen Margherita Pizza is known from 2k years at leastbr3 Doing scarpetta is absolutely normal all over Italy due to the high level of plates I can understand if you do not feel the need to do it at homebr4 OkLet's go on with stereotypes like "pasta, pizza and mandolino"br5 Only children and old people are having pisolino or pennichella (and not riposo) The others are usually back to workbr6 Probably you do not have bar because your coffee is horrible and you do not need a special place to enjoy itbr7 Starback does exist in Italy, but nobody felt the need to drink such a "brodaglia"Service charge is due only if the waiter brings you the coffee If you bring it to the table on your own, you do not have to pay nothing at all!br8What the hell do you think you are going to get by ordering a latte if not a latte?!?! You' d better study ItalianThanks God we are not enjoying any vanilla latte in Italywe leave it all to you!!!br9 Once again you' are wrong Old people expecially in South Italy, usually eat spaghetti with spoon AND fork By the way, the Italians that emigrated in USA represented in "those" movies are actually from South Italybr10 Are you a child that you are not able to cut your pizza?!?!brYou can enjoy wine with pizza of course, but the taste is horribleBetter beer or cokebrHonestly speaking, you'd better to actually investigate more about Italy and Italians before talking about us Thanks Comment from : Monica Magherini

Milan is a misterious place even for other italians Many people think we are unfriendly business oriented moron, but we are italians to the bones however we don't show it You have to long know a Milanese to catch some of the italian most known beaviors So you'll never watch a milanese makeing scarpetta on purpose, in a formal ambience or in a high class restaurant, but in a friendly background everybody will leave the dishes clean as they were already been washed Comment from : Ricky Gallo

La scarpetta is common to all Italy, even Milano 😊 Comment from : francesco palanza

Scarpetta isbrNormal in Lombardy Comment from : alessandro lancini

Scarpetta is everywhere Comment from : Sebastiano Zunino

You can actually have wine with pizza but it's unusual and it's mainly because they don't really go very well together while pizza and beer are simply PERFECT together :D Comment from : Michele De Pascalis

Ehmthe "scarpetta" is something acceptable only in informal situations, with your friends or family and in "informal" places For instance, you should not do it ever during a business lunch or in a fancy restaurant Comment from : Silvia C

so i live in ferrara (Emilia-Romagna) and there is no starbucksbri usually go to a supermarket like "eurospar" to get a mini frappuccino that is actually from starbucks, i still don't get why we don't have starbucks lol Comment from : Itz_heremiii Flower

In Milan there is Starbucks Comment from : ShinraShiro

we do Scarpetta in Sardegna too Comment from : Dort90xxx

1"latte" in italian means milk, (starbucks should apologize for the misunderstandings that causes, for example "VENTI", wich is the largest measure you can order at starbucks means "20" in italian and "GRANDE" means "large") so in Italy you should ask for a "caffélatte", insteadbr2 the italian bar is often a cocktail bar toobr3 we usually drink beer, water or other drinks like coca cola, with pizza that's beacuse most italians consider pizza like a fast food (although it's made a little better) or something you eat at partys and we don't go to high level restaurants to eat pizza but the most important thing to me is that pizza must be eaten with hands (if you're not eating a very expensive one) Comment from : padre onnipotente

The "scarpetta" it's valid for all region in Italy :D Comment from : crepuscolo80

We don't eat pasta in our italian dinner, only at lunch! ;)brI'm from Napoli, we eat pasta every single day at lunch but never at dinner Usually we eat pizza once a weekbrAnd, of course, God bless scarpetta Comment from : Vincenzo Padovani

About “scarpetta”: at home you can do it, but at the restaurant it is impolite About the spaghetti( only with spaghetti and not with maccheroni) and the spoon, use the spoon is impolite, but someone can eat spaghetti only with spoon, you can ask one at the restaurant, there’s a civil war about this, also in the same family😅 Comment from : Desy Cherrystar

For italians is not a shok to take the milk, why are uou saing so many false things? Comment from : Valerius Magni

We eat pasta everyday but fir lunch not dinner Comment from : Valerius Magni

there was some in milan but starbuck in italy is mostly a fail idea, for any sweet you gi into a pasticceria and any cafè is better in any bar so no point in open any of itbrbrfrankly speaking this of the spoon is a dumb thing, in my family when we eat spaghetti we use the spoon; is faster and easier especially if you are hungry But there is some canon done by idk who which should dicttate to not go figurebrbrwine usually is taken with meat or fish; not with pasta or pizza Usually with pizza you take any non alchool drink or a beer but the beer part is due more germanic influence i think Because you dont take beer with fish or meat usually well i'd take some fructate wine always since i dont like beer at all Comment from : alberto alderighi

Dunking bread Love it Comment from : Rob and Sophie

The spoon is used to eat spaghetti usually by kids that can't eat spaghetti only with the fork Comment from : Davide Menegon

scarpetta is used everywhere, and you have to try pizza al padellino from Torino Comment from : Michele Biolè

One of my first trips to Italy I ordered Penne All'Arrabiata and asked for Parmesan Cheese and they refused to bring it to me My Italian friend said it doesn't go with spicy sauces Comment from : Rick Spears

Pizza I eat 1 time every 3 month, pasta 1 time a week breakfast I do with eggs and speak I'm italian, little particolar Comment from : Alessandro Rossi
