      Oh well, I've traveled quite a lot in eastern EU too (I'm Italian) and the golder rule for that (and for any other country) is always to ask locals (especially people > 50yo) where it's good to eat (I even do it here in Italy when I'm in an unfamiliar place), AND ask for the most typical local plates (so that they know how to do them well). I've eaten VERY well in this way whenever I've been, from Zupa Grzybowa, pierogi ruskie and zurek zupa in Poland, to amazing roasted meats and salads in Bulgaria, to ciorba and sarmale in Romania, to Paçe plansash in Albania and so on and so for.

    • @EmilianoQuetzalkoalaQuetzalkoa
      @EmilianoQuetzalkoalaQuetzalkoa Год назад +4

      Good point.
      On that note, most - if not all - good restaurants in Italy tend to apply the same degree of tolerance with cutomers. There are tons of videos online of restaurant staff lecturing patrons about what and how they should eat (usually in a very histrionic way). Those are almost always tourist restaurants, the kind of places most locals avoid like the plague. A good waiter should be discreet as much as possible: ready when called but invisible unless called to a table. To the point that what is considered great in American culture, like a waiter visiting the table every now and then and making sure eveything is okay, here is usually considered as a bit invasive because people here tend to go to a restaurant to have a conversation and prefer to be interrupted as little as possible. In touristic restaurants, it's the polar opposite because for some reason it is thought that tourists love a conversation with their waiter.

  • @davidepannone6021
    @davidepannone6021 Год назад +517

    I'd like to point out this is not a Michelin star rated restaurant. This is a michelin guide restaurant. There is a big difference. Michelin star restaurants are gourmet restaurants (for the most part) Michelin guide restaurants are all kinds of restaurants (in this case a semi fancy trattoria) that appears in the michelin guide book. It has no Michelin stars. I wanted to point this out because people often confuse the two.
    The best Michelin star's restaurants in italy would've been either Villa Crespi by Antonino Cannavacciuolo which is in Orta San Giulio (near a city called Novara, in Piemonte region) or "L'osteria francescana" by Massimo Bottura, which is in the region of emilia romagna (downtown Modena to be precise). They both have three Michelin' stars, which I believe that they're the only Italian restaurants to have the max amount of stars a restaurant can get.
    The only downside of those places is that they probably have an incredibly long waiting list to book a table, and well, for some people the price can be too steep lol.

      @davidepannone6021 Год назад +15

      I don't think it's fair to say that, not in the case of this place. I mean, did you read the bad reviews? One was complaining about not getting a table without booking (that idiot probably went either Friday or Saturday night which is the busiest nights for restaurants expecting to be seated), another was a no text bad review and another again just your classic bot "bad experience, don't recommend" kind of review. Only one could be considered fair (and it was the octopus one, which I strongly doubt that in a sea based city like napoli they gave them canned or old octopus). Not even the worst tourist trap would pull that bullshit off.
      Imo when an owner shows that much passion and actually takes his time to reply to reviews, it's a sign that the place is well cared for. But that's me. I'm Italian so maybe my perception on that subject is different, but I see no harm in an owner defending his business especially again given the ridiculous bad reviews those people left. And it perfectly showed at the end of this video when the owner went to the table. He was in no way a rude snob. Actually quite the opposite.

    my god, the lady was so patient, and the owner was just, the kindest person ever. when someone bought in pineapple into a restaurant in Italy everyone knows they are here to troll you, but he was so calm and so kind to explain to his guest, and even that failed, he was willing to open the pineapple for the guest and even tried it out himself. I have no words. I learnt so much about Italian food culture in this video, and how the staff must be so annoyed, but they are so just so kind. i love that at the end the prank is reviewed, and the owners and the staff get the appreciation they deserved. this is pure heart, patient and hospitality, they have a lot of respect to "foreigners" who might not know about their culture.
