Love the video guys! I always like to see when other cultures embrace travelers. It lets you know that there’s still kindness and humanity left in the world.
Hello!! I'm the girl who served you as Bonci (the girl with the black t-shirt!) !! I remember you very well .... I remember her fuxia hair ... and her particular shoes !!! you were very nice, in fact it is true, I gave you a supplì! it's nice to find out by chance between youtube videos ... and see me in your shoot! 🙈
Hello! Martina here (girl with the pink hair) Wow amazing you found our video! We love Bonci, the food is so delicious and we miss the taste now that we are back home in Japan. You were all so very busy with many customers, but you were still so kind and nice :) thank you for that! 🍕 I hope you had some more customers visit after our video; we saw some Instagram pictures and tweets from people visiting and also agreeing your pizza is so delicious!
I watched the bloopers this morning, but I finally had time to sit down and watch this longer video after work today. And it was exactly what I needed. Martina, seeing you dance around and have a great time, despite everything, really made my day 1000x times better. My knee surgery last week took a lot out of me and just seeing these wonderful experiences, remembering my own from Italy, it was just wicked. Thank you guys for being awesome!
A BIG HUGE FAT THANK YOU! I was staying in Rome two weeks ago and all I wanted to eat was the whole menu of the Osteria da Fortunata. It was SO good! And I could not stop watching them making Pasta. I almost cried when Antonia, the elder lady, called me 'mi amore'. Thank you for sharing this with us and making some great memories possible for me. 💕
We just booked our night at Barbara's while we are in Rome in June!! You two made it look so fun, and what great memories to bring back home. Thank you for sharing and shining like the superstars you are!!!
All of the food looked so delicious! I'm still hungry even though I was eating lunch while watching this video lol. I'm so glad you both tried local and authentic places to eat!
You guys are the kings when it comes to making food videos. Your facial expressions and the way you describe your feelings make me feel like I've been there. Thank you so so much
I’ve seen so many of your videos and it’s amazing to see your editing, although it was not bad at all to begin with, definitely improved! It doesn’t stray from your usual style but I love how your content has progressed! Love you guys!
Ahh I’m so happy you guys not only went to Italy, but loved it too! The experience you had at the end at Barbara’s is what Italians are all about, and is one of the main reasons I want to live in that country, so I’m so so glad you guys got to experience it! :) If you liked that experience, you should definitely do Greece next! Love your videos!
Just got back from Rome and my wife and I ate at the Osteria Da Fortunata on the back of your recommendation and yes it was so good! Thank you for the tip we probably wouldn't have found this gem with out your help! Like you we just wandered and found loads of hidden gems!
Thank you Simon and Martina for changing my mind about visiting Rome! Social media makes it look like a nightmare to visit due to the sheer amount of tourists and tourist traps, it was nice to see a fresh perspective! love your posts x P.S. Martina's hat at 13:04 is everything!
@@eatyourkimchi I have the same mentality about visiting Japan, we came one year during cherry blossom season, which was so stunning, but also soo crowded. So now my favourite month to visit is end of February :)
Awesome video! Honestly I would watch another 23 minutes of this! I love when y'all post videos because you're one of the only channels my husband and I love to watch together! Seriously I waited until today so we could watch together! Haha I was dying I wanted to watch so much! Love you both!
I’m a frequent watcher but a horrible liker and commenter (sorry 😭) Whenever I see you guys it’s like a reminder to like and comment to support you two and your awesome content. I always fail to say this, but thank you so much for these videos. ☺️☺️ Rest well you two, you deserve it. おかえり〜😊
Everything looks so great! Your editing skills are fantastic. Your show should be on Netflix. And Martina, you have such a cool style! I need jackets and pasta now...
Aaw I want to go to Rome too! I just visited with my Brother Venice for less than a week on september 1st of 2013 because there was a Film festival called La Biennale di Venezia to watch Kaze Tachinu (TheWind Rises) It was Amazing!
I had three slices of pizza at Bonci today and thought of you! Already excited to try out Osteria Fortunata tomorrow. Thank you so much for the recommendations ❤️
Simon and Martina potato and sardines, mushrooms, tomato and mozzarella ☺️ Also Osteria Fortunata was so over the top! Mindblowing! I nearly cried. I don‘t know you but I REALLY TRUST YOU. Your recommendations are on point. I will rely on all of your japan videos for my upcoming trip. I‘d do trustfalls with you (because you‘d let me fall in some delicious pasta or ramen or stuff?!?). Big love from Berlin
Dang it you two! I'll be in Florence next month for a quick visit and planned only to sightsee in Tuscany. Thinking that that should be enough. Now you've tempted me with all those delicious food to visit Rome for a day trip.
Wow I clicked on this video thinking that it's too long so I would watch just some bits but I was so wrong 😆 I ended up watching every second, the time flew by so fast
I went to Rome in April last year and loved the city! Although you deffinietly have found the better food places than we did XD But we found good food. Just not amazing :P
Oh my god, what a gorgeous video. It really serves as a reminder of the beautiful details that life allows us, and seeing you guys enjoy yourselves is super enjoyable. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it!
The real question: Did you do any cooking on your own while you were there? Say...chocolate chip cookies with espresso in the dough? That's one thing I love to do when I travel, seeing what I can make with the local staples & specialties.
simon honey no don't add anything before you try it how it's made for you..7:02 Martina same girl..and holy shite 11 years damn you keep going guys so great y'all have each other and are happy together
Martina I need to ask, do you have any favorite tattoo shops in japan or artists? I am going there and would like to get a tattoo in Tokyo while I am there.
We made a friend in Rome who is friends with Barbara, and he introduced us to her, and she let us into her home. I don’t know how much they charge usually. We just got in through a friend.
Love the video, its length and its vibe, I just love everything about it. I love the fact that you are always so excited about the little things as well, about the simple things, about the things people usually are not excited about. Few days ago I listened to your podcast where you talked about your way of being tourists and it honestly made me relieved. I have so many similarities with you on that case. When I went to New York I tried to explore the little restaurants and to talk with people and just to enjoy the city, to actually explore the real New York, instead of just going to a certain building or site, take a picture and go. Many friends were disappointed when I told them I didn't go see the Liberty statue, but for me to spend that time doing exactly what you guys did is a far more precious moment. Thank you for not giving up even though your harships never stop and thank you for making our lives better with each video! Love you guys, kisses from Bulgaria
My grandparents are Italian, but had to flee the country because of the war. They based themselves in Argentina and made their family there. They were able to go back to visit family a couple of times, but my mum was never able to go. My sister and I want to take her there and dreamt about it for so long, and if everything goes right we will do it next year!! :D This video inspired me so much, and we will for sure be visiting some of the places that you recommended! Thank you so much for this video, you never fail to make my heart warm every time I watch your videos. Big hugs!
Gisela Cappiello I’m based in Milan, but I wan born and lived most of my life in Rome, I’m pretty much obsessed with food and cooking, please if you need any suggestion just ask.
Same here! Started during my second year of college, in 2009, and stayed because they continually help me get out of my own head and inspire me to get out and #buildaladder. I remember the first video they posted in Korea! I feel like we've almost been growing up together, and it's been wonderful so far.
It brought tears to my eyes to see how Martina built such a huge ladder by jumping and running and dancing off her pizza ❤️❤️ Both of you enjoying yourselves even though some days are rough is what makes us all work hard to be as happy as you both! Keep eating and enjoying life and Martina, never regret what sacrifices you made to enjoy that day! Because happy lived moments are always worth it (*im working on that myself*💕) LOVE YOU GUYS ❤️💙💚
Simon and Martina, after I saw this video I knew that this summer my holiday destination should be Rome. Took my friend and had amazing time and of course we ate at Osteria da fortunata, tried lots of different gelaterias and our favorite was the one you recommended (we went there 4 days in the row since in was close to our airbnb). I would like to thank you from the bottom of my hart for sharing your experience and making my trip magical!!! Love you both! Stay strong, Spudgy will always have a special place in my heart.
The number of times I hear of people going to Italy and getting trapped in these touristy garbage places, it's refreshing to see you guys have an authentic experience! Y'all are doing the real work! :)
Yes you're right. I'd say MOST of the tourists in Italy end up eating in those tourists traps which is such a shame as they get a bad idea about italian food. As a rule: IF IT HAS PHOTOS OF THE DISHES, STAY AWAY!! It's a tourist trap. No local needs pictures to order food.
It makes me happy to see you guys enjoying yourselves so much!! I know how much walking Rome requires, Martina is truly the cutest soldier taking all that on. Thanks for sharing all your fun
I would say during our two week trip it required five to seven scattered days of hardcore walking for me and the rest were just bed rest and not wondering far from our Airbnb. It was a very challenging trip but absolutely worth it because I didn’t raise the bar super high. I just accepted my limits and enjoyed what I could 😋
As a native Roman I can tell you. You've selected GREAT places and are offering a true, authentic, insider's views on the spectacle of Roman cuisine. To me Roman food is only second to Napolitan and (maybe) Emilian cuisine; of course there are regional specialties everywhere but I think them 3 better represent and synthetize the amazing culinary tradition of Italy. Nice job!
had a great time when I visited Rome this summer even I was alone but yet I did enjoyed. I was planning of going back in the summer of 2020 and I hope I can have the chance meeting you and show other places I didnt see and of course eating the best food in Italy. I havent tried the gelato when I was there. Hahaha
This comment helps me so much! My mother's family is from Rome and I desperately want to go and experience my culture. This guide totally helps. Knowing that a local approved is awesome!
I've been to Italy two years ago, but now I really want to go again! The food is great, the buildings are beautiful, the people are extremely nice and the weather is amazing too. It's the perfect vacation destination. You're video really shows all the REAL good stuff, it shows what really makes you fall in love with a country/city. I love you guys so much. I've been watching your videos since 2013 and you're definitely one of my favourite channels.
From what I heard, if you just press skip ad as soon as the button comes up, the youtuber gets nothing. And they get more money the longer we watch the ad. So if it's a minute long ad and it was gonna pay $1 to the creator, but we skipped at the 30 seccond mark, they might only get $0.25. These are just made up numbers and sadly I can't confirm if any of it is true though.
I can't tell you how much I love that you guys had this experience and thought to make such a wonderful video that showcases that (plus the other videos and the stream). I didn't think I'd get emotional by the end of it, but I'm just so happy for the both of you. I wish the absolute best for you guys and I'm going to cry lol! It was Simon talking about his dream of buying fresh food that undid me. Martina bouncing around Rome was unbelievable to see, as well. Just, thank you for every little thing that you guys do. Thank you for existing.
Thank you for making such a warm and wonderful video! I've been a subscriber since your journeys in Korea. It's really refreshing to watch something that even we, as viewers, can feel the warmth through your videos. 👍🏻
Simon and Martina; I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years now. I've always enjoyed your videos, my passion for asian cuisine has grown stronger over the years thank to you, but I am so happy you finally went on an eating spree in Italy! I was born and raised in Rome, but I'm living in another city now. Your video felt like home, it was heartwarming to see two people who so sincerely loved my hometown. I would have loved to hang around with you guys. And Bonci's pizza is top notch, I am glad you enjoyed it! I hope you will be able to go back someday, so I can suggest you a ton of other great places (or maybe take you there myself ahah)
Wow this makes me want to go to Rome 😍 looks like you guys have the best time in food paradise. It must be refreshing to be surrounded by a different cuisine, even if Japanese is obviously amazing as well 😃
From the podcasts i heard you say how you really tried to do this trip differently and embrace your health limitations by resting and pacing yourselves to build your ladders through this trip. Knowing that, it gave me so much joy watching this video to have an insight into how special and hard earned (and appreciated) each experience was to you guys. Thank you for sharing your real joy in every bite and in every place you visited. The video was really beautifully shot and composed too. Many thanks!
jazzeecat yes, I think that's we all wanna see: Simon and Martina ENJOYING their trip and take us with them... Instead of trying to make a good video for us and PUSH themself too hard.
That was such a beautiful video. I definitely want to go to Barbara's. It truly felt like a good family home. I love that setting. Now to go watch funny bloopers.
So I'm have watched this on 4 different devices so I can get the Ads so I can help you guys a tiny bit for this amazing videos to keep coming!!!( sorry if it doesnt make sense...English is not my first language)
I’m so happy you guys documented this! I’m also happy that you’re enjoying your lives without feeling too much pressure to upload. I am really happy for both of you! And Martina! You are my love! Build a Ladder has inspired me soooo much! I have an undiagnosed connective tissue disorder (because America sucks at this) and currently have a concussion as well; but build a ladder has been helping me keep going, or just take the time to stop and heal. Thank you guys so much. I’m going on 7 years of subscribing, and am currently getting ready to go to Korea as an University Exchange student in the fall. I’ve been rewatching all the FapFaps and Wonderful Adventure Times! So much love for both of you!!!!
Do you know what fellow spoonies really need? A video on how to plan and get through a holiday when chronically ill or in pain, especially overseas. I'd love to see essential things to take with, advice on activities, things like that. I know you guise would be perfect to make such an important video! I'm considering going overseas in the next year after 13 years in my country and would love tips and tricks from people who know.
Wait... Does Barbara have dinners at her home regularly? Oh what an experience that is! I adore local markets too. Excellent trip and view you two... treasured memories. ☺️
I'm gonna watch the video now, but before that: YASSS ANIME LENGHT VIDEO! I've listened to your last podcast and watched your live in Rome so I'm SO excited to watch this now! Love you guys!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIDEO, YOU GUYS. Holy guacamole. I am loving the new techniques you've been building. Also I am SO FREAKIN' HAPPY FOR YOU that you had this trip together
How would I get an opportunity to eat at Barbara's place. It was my favorite part of the video so much that I want to try next month while I am there. Loved the video
Simon's voice over at 7:03 hahahahahaaaaa!! That rice mozzarella ball at 10:30 looks like an 'Arancini' ball. So yum. Barbara's house OMGeeeeee!! Eat good food in great company....get to know the locals etc. Looks like fun. Great idea! Ahhhhh, this video brought me straight back to Italy. Tutti Bellissimo!! Thanks for sharing :)
This video makes me so happy! I'm italian and it is the first time im super familiar with the place you're filming in and with the food you're eating, it feels weird. I'm glad you guys enjoyed your time in Rome. I wish I could have met you but hey I guess I have to come to Japan to do that 😁
Cacio e Pepe is actually made with the particular Pecorino Cacio di Roma cheese in Rome, which is younger, a lot less salty and more creamy than its close relative, Pecorino Romano. This cheese is very hard to find abroad, which is why you definitely need to try Cacio e Pepe in Italy, and preferably in Rome.
I'm heading to Rome next month so very excited to visit these places! Hope I can book Barbara's place as that looked fantastic! Thanks for providing some gems!
honestly how do y'all not have your own travel and food show on television. this was SO GOOD.
Vixxie Vultee I imagine that they've had offers, but Martina's health problems make that impossible.
I've heard them say they prefer having the freedom of working on their own terms as well :D
i agree but also, yt food channels > than tv food shows :’)
Love the video guys! I always like to see when other cultures embrace travelers. It lets you know that there’s still kindness and humanity left in the world.
Hello!! I'm the girl who served you as Bonci (the girl with the black t-shirt!) !! I remember you very well .... I remember her fuxia hair ... and her particular shoes !!! you were very nice, in fact it is true, I gave you a supplì! it's nice to find out by chance between youtube videos ... and see me in your shoot! 🙈
Hello! Martina here (girl with the pink hair) Wow amazing you found our video! We love Bonci, the food is so delicious and we miss the taste now that we are back home in Japan. You were all so very busy with many customers, but you were still so kind and nice :) thank you for that! 🍕 I hope you had some more customers visit after our video; we saw some Instagram pictures and tweets from people visiting and also agreeing your pizza is so delicious!
Hi Im visitting Rome soon and would like to know if Bonci has vegetarian options? :)
@@ImKeyra you can always order margherita :-)
BEAUTIFUL video! The scenery! The views! The food shots! I really appreciate the effort you put into every video
Kaitlyn Peterson uh

A BIG HUGE FAT THANK YOU! I was staying in Rome two weeks ago and all I wanted to eat was the whole menu of the Osteria da Fortunata. It was SO good! And I could not stop watching them making Pasta. I almost cried when Antonia, the elder lady, called me 'mi amore'. Thank you for sharing this with us and making some great memories possible for me. 💕
We just booked our night at Barbara's while we are in Rome in June!! You two made it look so fun, and what great memories to bring back home. Thank you for sharing and shining like the superstars you are!!!
Oh amazing! You're going to love it :D
All of the food looked so delicious! I'm still hungry even though I was eating lunch while watching this video lol. I'm so glad you both tried local and authentic places to eat!

I heard it’s terrible during summer season, which is why we always prefer traveling in the winter :)
@@eatyourkimchi I have the same mentality about visiting Japan, we came one year during cherry blossom season, which was so stunning, but also soo crowded. So now my favourite month to visit is end of February :)
you two are my idols. living like you is my life's goal
My husband and I went to Rome last year and it was AMAZING (especially the food haha). So glad that you guys had such a great time as well
Lovely to see you making pasta! :-) so many things to do and see in Rome! It is always a discovery
Loving the build a ladder shirt martinas wearing in the last clip 💕

Aaw I want to go to Rome too! I just visited with my Brother Venice for less than a week on september 1st of 2013 because there was a Film festival called La Biennale di Venezia to watch Kaze Tachinu (TheWind Rises) It was Amazing!

Wow I clicked on this video thinking that it's too long so I would watch just some bits but I was so wrong 😆 I ended up watching every second, the time flew by so fast
This makes my mouth water and now I'm hungry. As a broke college student, I want so badly 😭
I lovee this video!!!makes me want to go to rome😍😍😍
Just ate here a few hours ago and mama Mia it was good real deal here
Only you Simon and Martina make a 23:05 film feel like 4 minutes. It’s not long enough haha!
For you guys I never skip ads
I went to Rome in April last year and loved the city! Although you deffinietly have found the better food places than we did XD But we found good food. Just not amazing :P

The real question: Did you do any cooking on your own while you were there? Say...chocolate chip cookies with espresso in the dough? That's one thing I love to do when I travel, seeing what I can make with the local staples & specialties.
Nothing that fancy. The most we did was cut our charcuterie board.
Hey, with the multiple ways the Italians have of using smoke, spice, and age to make meat sing, that's an adventure in itself! 8ㄱ)
Munchies went to Bonci with Frank Pinello, Bonci is quite a character.
I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but does warm climate help with Martina’s condition?
simon honey no don't add anything before you try it how it's made for you..7:02 Martina same girl..and holy shite 11 years damn you keep going guys so great y'all have each other and are happy together
stabulous Koda what time stamp? They didn't add anything at 7:02
Wowww! :o :D Amazing Italian food eaten by my favorite connoisseurs! ;) ;) ;) What an experience! :D
Martina I need to ask, do you have any favorite tattoo shops in japan or artists? I am going there and would like to get a tattoo in Tokyo while I am there.
Martina is a squirrel friend at 1:30
How did you find out about Barbara's? How much did it set you back? We're looking for good, but not crazy expensive!
We made a friend in Rome who is friends with Barbara, and he introduced us to her, and she let us into her home. I don’t know how much they charge usually. We just got in through a friend.
@@eatyourkimchi It sounded like such a wonderful place, full of laughter, good food and friendship!
watching this and all i can think is "oh lord Martina please don't fall and hurt yourself. also damn i need that pizza"
Martina actually did quite well in Italy. The first days after the flight were rough, but otherwise she was a real trooper!
Did Martina edit this video?
Avoiding the tourist traps finding the real food and showing it to everyone yall doing the lawds work.
Carry on.
Media Addict the lawds work hilarious
I love this comment!
Nothing makes me yearn for traveling like your videos. Thank you for making every place look so magical. ❤️

As a rule: IF IT HAS PHOTOS OF THE DISHES, STAY AWAY!! It's a tourist trap.
No local needs pictures to order food.
Exactly go to the class neighborhoods in the little old villages there is the real Italian tradition and experience
Full length feature film.
Love it ❤
WHAT IS THIS QUALITY?! IS THIS HEAVEN?! THOUGHT I'M ON RUclips
this video actually made me so happy...
right ? give these guys a fucking TV show fam
It makes me happy to see you guys enjoying yourselves so much!! I know how much walking Rome requires, Martina is truly the cutest soldier taking all that on. Thanks for sharing all your fun

My dream is to visit Rome someday
I wish i can go there
had a great time when I visited Rome this summer even I was alone but yet I did enjoyed. I was planning of going back in the summer of 2020 and I hope I can have the chance meeting you and show other places I didnt see and of course eating the best food in Italy. I havent tried the gelato when I was there. Hahaha
This comment helps me so much! My mother's family is from Rome and I desperately want to go and experience my culture. This guide totally helps. Knowing that a local approved is awesome!
In Munich, there is a place called Emilia Pizza. Maybe it's Emilian, never knew there was cuisine like this ^^
You guys should have your own channel and been sponsor all over the world . Your video quality and content, is so nice to watch.
The old hypeman at Barbara's is giving me life. He's so proud of Simon and Martina.
This is definitely the best video you’ve ever done. I enjoyed it so much 😊❤️
I've been to Italy two years ago, but now I really want to go again! The food is great, the buildings are beautiful, the people are extremely nice and the weather is amazing too. It's the perfect vacation destination. You're video really shows all the REAL good stuff, it shows what really makes you fall in love with a country/city. I love you guys so much. I've been watching your videos since 2013 and you're definitely one of my favourite channels.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching us for so long. Almost five years now!
DON'T SKIP THE ADS GUYS!!!
don't worry, i have RUclips Red
MidnightFlower13 I would like to know this also. Someone please let us know.
I rewatched just so I watched the ads both times
From what I heard, if you just press skip ad as soon as the button comes up, the youtuber gets nothing. And they get more money the longer we watch the ad. So if it's a minute long ad and it was gonna pay $1 to the creator, but we skipped at the 30 seccond mark, they might only get $0.25. These are just made up numbers and sadly I can't confirm if any of it is true though.
KLICK ON IT!
I can't tell you how much I love that you guys had this experience and thought to make such a wonderful video that showcases that (plus the other videos and the stream). I didn't think I'd get emotional by the end of it, but I'm just so happy for the both of you. I wish the absolute best for you guys and I'm going to cry lol! It was Simon talking about his dream of buying fresh food that undid me. Martina bouncing around Rome was unbelievable to see, as well. Just, thank you for every little thing that you guys do. Thank you for existing.
Thank you for making such a warm and wonderful video! I've been a subscriber since your journeys in Korea. It's really refreshing to watch something that even we, as viewers, can feel the warmth through your videos. 👍🏻
Simon and Martina; I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years now. I've always enjoyed your videos, my passion for asian cuisine has grown stronger over the years thank to you, but I am so happy you finally went on an eating spree in Italy!
I was born and raised in Rome, but I'm living in another city now. Your video felt like home, it was heartwarming to see two people who so sincerely loved my hometown. I would have loved to hang around with you guys. And Bonci's pizza is top notch, I am glad you enjoyed it! I hope you will be able to go back someday, so I can suggest you a ton of other great places (or maybe take you there myself ahah)
My girlfriend may or may not have started crying at how happy the two of you are.
the love they have for each other is so beautiful
Wow this makes me want to go to Rome 😍 looks like you guys have the best time in food paradise. It must be refreshing to be surrounded by a different cuisine, even if Japanese is obviously amazing as well 😃
Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! What's your favourite kind of pasta?
Simon and Martina All pasta is good pasta. As long as I can ((inhale)) it.
I can't believe I'm this early
Any good pasta with cheeeesse
Spaghetti bolognese all the way.
Angel hair is the best o3o
Your videos are always so good quality o:
Can I just say that I just love you guys
This is so lovely, light and wholesome. Only you two can do that.
Eevee M he said duck a million times and said sexually “spank me with that tray” You wouldnt and shouldnt let children watch it so it is not wholesome
Oh it all loooks so good
Please book a meal at Barbara and tell her we say "hi"!
Simon and Martina where is the info to book at Barbara's for tonight?
Don't mind me, just drinking a glass of box wine in bed and drooling. Amazing footage, guys! Move over, Anthony Bourdain!
Martina fooling Simon by saying there was a puppy and taking some pasta KILLED ME. You guys are so much fun to watch XD
From the podcasts i heard you say how you really tried to do this trip differently and embrace your health limitations by resting and pacing yourselves to build your ladders through this trip. Knowing that, it gave me so much joy watching this video to have an insight into how special and hard earned (and appreciated) each experience was to you guys. Thank you for sharing your real joy in every bite and in every place you visited. The video was really beautifully shot and composed too. Many thanks!
jazzeecat yes, I think that's we all wanna see: Simon and Martina ENJOYING their trip and take us with them... Instead of trying to make a good video for us and PUSH themself too hard.
That didn't feel like a 23 minute video! I was like wait, it's over already? ON TO THE BONUS CHANNEL AND BLOOPERS! 😁
Mellissa Ann yep!
You guys manage to make me want to go to every place you travel to! Everything looks so delicious! Amazing video as always
I’m going to Rome in September and I’ll DEFINITELY try to book with Barbara and try all of these places!
Awesome!
Try Also La Lupa near Termini station it s very famous by us Romans here
That was such a beautiful video. I definitely want to go to Barbara's. It truly felt like a good family home. I love that setting. Now to go watch funny bloopers.
Your videos are amazing and so inspiring.
So I'm have watched this on 4 different devices so I can get the Ads so I can help you guys a tiny bit for this amazing videos to keep coming!!!( sorry if it doesnt make sense...English is not my first language)
Amazing, fantastic, brilliant, over the top. Too too fabulous! Thank you 🤗🍸🤗🍸🤗
I’m so happy you guys documented this! I’m also happy that you’re enjoying your lives without feeling too much pressure to upload. I am really happy for both of you! And Martina! You are my love! Build a Ladder has inspired me soooo much! I have an undiagnosed connective tissue disorder (because America sucks at this) and currently have a concussion as well; but build a ladder has been helping me keep going, or just take the time to stop and heal. Thank you guys so much. I’m going on 7 years of subscribing, and am currently getting ready to go to Korea as an University Exchange student in the fall. I’ve been rewatching all the FapFaps and Wonderful Adventure Times! So much love for both of you!!!!
Do you know what fellow spoonies really need? A video on how to plan and get through a holiday when chronically ill or in pain, especially overseas. I'd love to see essential things to take with, advice on activities, things like that. I know you guise would be perfect to make such an important video! I'm considering going overseas in the next year after 13 years in my country and would love tips and tricks from people who know.
Wait... Does Barbara have dinners at her home regularly? Oh what an experience that is! I adore local markets too. Excellent trip and view you two... treasured memories. ☺️
I'm gonna watch the video now, but before that: YASSS ANIME LENGHT VIDEO! I've listened to your last podcast and watched your live in Rome so I'm SO excited to watch this now! Love you guys!
Zahra Nya OMG you're right! It Is anime-length ^_^ the longer the better! I could watch Simon and Martina forever
Me too! I love everything about them! I hope I can meet them some day 😊😊
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIDEO, YOU GUYS. Holy guacamole. I am loving the new techniques you've been building. Also I am SO FREAKIN' HAPPY FOR YOU that you had this trip together
What to eat in Rome:
everything.
twice!
How would I get an opportunity to eat at Barbara's place. It was my favorite part of the video so much that I want to try next month while I am there. Loved the video
Simon's voice over at 7:03 hahahahahaaaaa!! That rice mozzarella ball at 10:30 looks like an 'Arancini' ball. So yum. Barbara's house OMGeeeeee!! Eat good food in great company....get to know the locals etc. Looks like fun. Great idea! Ahhhhh, this video brought me straight back to Italy. Tutti Bellissimo!! Thanks for sharing :)
I just love the way you guys just capture the whole beauty of Rome not just the food but also the scenery. I really enjoy your videos 😊
This video makes me so happy! I'm italian and it is the first time im super familiar with the place you're filming in and with the food you're eating, it feels weird. I'm glad you guys enjoyed your time in Rome. I wish I could have met you but hey I guess I have to come to Japan to do that 😁
I wonder how different it feels!
I’m so happy the video is finally out!! Been waiting for it since I heard you guys were in Rome. Loved the video, amazing as always!!
Next month I'll finally have extra funds to sponsor!
I hope your guy's have had a great holiday!!!! I've definitely missed your videos 😊
Yeah!! I missed you both, thank you for the longer video!!
Thank you for your patience. This was a huge video to edit!
Cacio e Pepe is actually made with the particular Pecorino Cacio di Roma cheese in Rome, which is younger, a lot less salty and more creamy than its close relative, Pecorino Romano. This cheese is very hard to find abroad, which is why you definitely need to try Cacio e Pepe in Italy, and preferably in Rome.
I'm heading to Rome next month so very excited to visit these places! Hope I can book Barbara's place as that looked fantastic! Thanks for providing some gems!
Never skip the ads~ love u guys~!
