I visited Rome. Don’t eat at the touristy spots. It’s expensive and not so good, most restaurants are tourist traps. Walk a few streets away from it and eat at places where the locals go.
As an Italian, I second this. GENERALLY SPEAKING (not always but often enough) restaurants and food places near important tourist spots are “tourist traps” you’ll pay a lot for a low quality meal. Avoid them and walk a few hundred meters, chances are you’ll find places who need to be good in order to compete and not just to reap the benefits of their strategic positioning
Loved the manager from the sandwich shop. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does, knows everything about the business, and his attitude was infectious. Thanks for the videos Guga!
@@Dr.Kananga Il lampredotto non è "medievale", ma una tradizione. Solo perchè non è un taglio nobile non significa che sia una cosa vecchia, o "barbara". In Emilia mangiamo i ciccioli, ovvero grasso di maiale lasciato asciugare sul fuoco, in altre parti d'Italia si mangia il sanguinaccio o le cervella. Non saranno la fiorentina o il filetto, ma sono comunque piatti tipici. Anche il sushi è pesce crudo, magari appena macellato, eppure lo si mangia tranquillamente
@@Dr.Kananga Ma cosa stai blaterando? Perché dovrebbe essere medievale e improponibile? È buono e la gente lo apprezza ancora, non vedo motivo per cui non dovrebbe essere proposto.
The funny thing is Antico Vinaio is not the best schiacciata sandwitch in Florence, there are few gems both inside and outside of the city that only locals know(you pay less for more quantity, fresher ingredients and no queue). But props to Antico vinaio's owner who made a brand out of a regional delicacy and spread it all over the world, he's a G
@@josuedominguez8631I tried the paradiso with a great lemonade, but found it to be a bit too salty in the end and the sweet pistachio cream in the end. I’d give it a 7/10. Definitely crave it after the vid, but could be better
@@josuedominguez8631 As an adopted Florentine (I've lived there for most of the last 8 years) my go-to is Forno Becagli, in Borgo Ognissanti. It's a 5-minute walk from the main train station. I'm not sure they speak English though. As for the Lampredotto sandwich my favourite is the small food truck in Piazza de' Nerli, but I'm positive the guys who run it only speak florentine. However don't expect a "no-queue" situation, it's pretty rare (especially at lunchtime). Most times it's like a 10 to 20 minutes wait.
Italian sandwiches: proof that less is more. One stellar ingredient beats a tower of toppings. It's not about cramming, it's about savoring. That's the beauty of our cuisine!
Hey Guga, I was born in Florence and I lived there for several years. I had a lot of Lampredotto Panini in my life, and I'm happy to see that you enjoyed it! The green sauce, that looks like Chimichurri, it's called "salsa verde", which literally means... green sauce. It's made by garlic, olive oil, parsley, breadcrumbs, lemon juice and boiled egg.
@@tankdiggs8974I think darvhan may have responded to Guga's comment in the video, where he says he has "no idea what the green sauce is" Apparently there's more than just the Mexican salsa verde, got me confused some time ago when I came across a whole other recipe, but turns out the Italians also have their own version of a salsa verde.
That is not how salsa verde is typically made. If Italians are gonna try to recreate another countries cuisine you should at least try to make it correctly.
This was a great video! Also I have been loving Guga videos for years and seeing him in such a physically healthy state makes me so proud. That doesn’t happen over night and it certainly takes some serious hard work and dedication. Especially as the true food lover he is. ❤
I never made it past Carbonara in Rome, the variation is massive, from incredible to not so good. It’s so important to get away from the tourist traps.
Di solito sì, eccetto però quando ha sconsigliato la schiacciata Italiana non per la qualità degli ingredienti (come ha fatto giustamente con il panino alla porchetta) ma solo per una sua preferenza personale contro la rucola, per poi toglierla dal panino chiamandola “cibo da conigli” quando il proprietario stava a due metri da lui. Non so, a me è sembrata una mancanza di rispetto.
@@_Zuc_ Doing that after having a bite? Then no, that's not disrespectful, its just not his taste. Its like someone had a first try off the durian he just ordered and just straight ahead left the rest out in the air after knowing how gross it tasted just as it smells. PS: No offence to the durian lovers, but durian is one of the things in life I hate with a passion.
@@ThatchNetherfold When I mentioned disrespect I was mostly referring to him calling it “rabbit food”. I still am of the opinion that you should separate your personal taste from an objective (mostly) analysis of what you’re reviewing. Like, you could say something to the effect of “I’m not a big fan of arugula, but the sandwich has an overall fresh flavour so I can see people liking it”. What rubbed me the wrong way was him straight up not _recommending_ the sandwich because he personally doesn’t like an ingredient, not because of the poor quality of the food.
@@_Zuc_ If you want to go down into details, Guga only called that one ingredient "rabbit food", and he does not recommend that sandwich because of the combination, not because of the food (which is sandwich in overall) - he still ate the rest, only taking out that ingredient.
I mean, Schiacciata is tuscan and tuscans LOVE arugula, so it makes sense for them to put in a sandwich. My parents are from tuscany and I always put arugula in my sandwiches to give them some crunch, more lightness, and some of the bitterish flavour you don't get from sliced meats and toppings such as other vegetables and cheeses
Yeah, you dont get bitterish flavor from sliced meats and toppings such as other vegetables and cheeses because it doesn't belong! Down with arugala! On a more serious note, you said "flavour" but call it arugula instead of rocket. What's up with that? I thought everywhere that uses british spellings also call it rocket.
You haven't truly visited Florence until you've had a lampredotto panini. It's the most typical street food of the city. A few kilometers/miles outside of Florence this sandwich can't be found.
Love how these joints let Guga behind the counter. I can't stand Tripas because when I was a kid it was horrible and have never been able to get over it and I'm Brazilian. Super crispy bread is great if the bread is good. All'Antico's bread looks amazing, let alone the meats and toppings. I'm drooling.
You are world class Guga, you seem to have a knack for making consistently interesting videos and the public sees it, knows it and appreciates it very much. Blessing to your talent and hard work!!!
Bro, i don't know how but it feels like you "matured" in such a great way. Is weird to say but you voice is deeper and confidence higher, is so great to see. If it's cause you're hitting the gym, keep doing it cause it's amazing.
The first sandwich is specific to Florence and can be found only in Florence, Italy. It is part of the region's strong culinary tradition, with some foods being available exclusively in the city they originate from.
That's also just great effort in marketing. Sees someone saying on recording that the sandwich they picked was a poor choice, instantly trying to salvage it instead of becoming angry. That's how one earns success.
I'm looking forward to seeing Guga eat food from Brazil, especially from the state of Minas Gerais. We are known for the best Brazilian cuisine and you can find so many different types of food.
You gave me a flashback lol, I went to London on a school trip in 2013 and stopped to buy an art print on the street. One of my school chaperones appeared beside me and told me that he'd moved to stop someone grabbing my wallet, which I'd set down *inches* from my hand on the vendor table. Like, wow! But food wise....this looks heavenly! I hope I can travel someday!
Guga!! I'm from italy!! There is this youtuber here that is very famous called "franchino er criminale"! His whole slogan is to find the local and trustworthy places since lately there have been a lot of touristy scummy places that usually don't have good traditional food but that only aim at making money. If you can get in contact with him or something I'm 100% sure he'd teach you all of the most important things in italian cuisine and it'd also be nice to inform the american people on how to choose and where to go when in italy!! Cheers, very nice video :)
The bread is the key. It's pretty easy to get high quality deli meat in the US but you really need a great bakery connection to get that excellent bread.
come on guga!! as soon as i saw it hanging i knew it was the stomach. he's cooking it just like menudo but putting it in a sandwich Sunday mornings having menudo is the best!!!
Thank you for this video!! Last time my wife and I were in Italy was 1997. Time for us to return and try all those delicious sandwiches (and patronize the businesses away from the tourist areas, which we did as well on 1997). Eat where the locals eat. Mille Grazi!
Italian here. It says a lot if most of the video on Italian sandwiches was filmed at the Antico Vinaio, my favorite street food place of all Italy. I love your work Guga, you taught me how to properly cook meat! Thank you
Being Italian, It's hard to find a decent sandwich here in this country. But, between Prosciutto and Capicola are my favorite ones. Thanks Guga for sharing your trip to my homeland which someday I hope to visit.
Hey Guga! Italian guy here. You are right saying that prosciutto, tomato and mozzarella is like putting Italy in the sandwich. This is a typical summer dish all over Italy, without the sandwich!
Hi Guga, italian tradition is not only about pasta or elite food. The popular tradition (less known abroad) is about poor dishes made starting from fresh but not noble ingredients (some times also left-overs), trasforming them in pure delights. Lampredotto is one, also trippa alla fiorentina, 'nduja, capocchia (testa in cassetta), ribollita, peposo, and so on.. This might sound strange but is how my granma used to cook and it is all about an ancient story of poor people trying to make their best with what they had. Circular economy we would say nowadays, but tasty and flavourful.
What I liked best about this video was seeing how much pride employees took in what they were doing and the food they were serving. That's rare and always makes it better.
He can say what he wants. But calling arugula rabbit food is a bit disrespectful. Why even order a sandwich with things on it, that you don’t like? I don’t think they will suffer from his opinion. Italians know what’s good, although some need to improve in quality.
We italians do not go to antico vinaio, he's good but there are many better places. He was amazing at marketing and at understanding a more international taste. Thanks for your trip here, best from Italy.
Arrives to Rome, literally goes to the first porchetta place he sees in a tourist area and says that generally all porchetta sandwiches are bad? That’s funny 😅
Tripe is absolutely delicious. Just one of those those things that you just have to ignore what it actually is going in or just don't look it up if you're easily grossed out because its so good.
Sometimes the bread is just too crusty. Like tearing the roof of your mouth type. Just because a dough recipe is traditional, does not mean it should not be tinkered with. The porchetta sandwich breads looked like bricks.
Nothing beats a perfect porchetta sandwich. There's a spot in Mimico that does fresh porchetta on the weekends and it is always INCREDIBLE. No toppings needed, just bread and pork.
That last Sandwich, even when the guy was describing the ingredients I already know it’s going to be amazing! It had my favorites, potatoes, cheese, and pork, how can it not be good? 😂
Here in Italy at late nights they got street food stalls that have the "Panino Onto" translated it menas "The Dirty Sandwich", trust me you wont go wrong❤
You definitely got this right! It's all about the ingredients, which in turn are a combination of what our gorgeous soil and ecosystem gift us, and a never-ending passion for tradition. I think the same merit can easily be attributed to countries like Greece, France, and Spain, without making useless comparisons.
Trippa is one of our thousands of regional cuisine dishes, it’s typical from Toscana (tuscany), but even here in the north-east we have some variants of that, “trippa in umido”, “trippa con polenta” etc etc, I’d recommend you guys to try one of my favorite dishes from the Venice area, “baccalà mantecato”, which of course has the “baccalà alla vicentina” and “baccalà in umido” variants and many others, depending where you go (dishes change completely from town to town, even every 3/4 kms), but baccalà mantecato is a miracle I guarantee you.
@@doublereel-realche cazzo vuol dire, allora anche le costolette sono un taglio di carne ma non un piatto in se’, ma quello che ha mangiato lui è un piatto diocaro, il taglio magari è l’ingrediente usato nel piatto no? sai l’inglese o devo tradurti?

The "green stuff" in Italian is called "bagnetto verde" that translates into something like "green bath", and is made of mostly parsley, oil and some anchovies
@@iafozzac a me sembrava bagnetto verde, quello Piemontese non ha uova né pane al suo interno, l'unica cosa che ho dimenticato e in effetti da molto giusto è l'aglio. If you are not Italian, I'll let you know that this sauce isn't made with eggs and stale bread in Italy, the country of the video
@@nicoloodomaro1225 non so dove sei stato in Piemonte ma io ci sono nato, cresciuto e ci vivo da trent'anni. Il bagnetto verde piemontese ha anche uova sode, pane e aceto
"Schiacciata" is the term for focaccia in Florence. The same thing is called "Pizza Bianca" in Rome and "Focaccia" in many other regions of Italy. Why? Because it varies slightly depending on the region. The version from Florence is specifically called "Schiacciata," but in other provinces, it's referred to as "Focaccia." Next time you visit Italy, make a video and talk about it! Our country is beautiful because of the diversity of our cuisine, food, vegetables, grapes, and many other things. This is Italy's real strength-variety. Thank you!
Ciao Guga, loved the video. As a Italian guy from the north (Milano) I really want to suggest you to try Panino con la meuza from Sicily. To me is one of the best sandwich ever. I apologize to my fellow Italians from Sicily if I have spell it wrong. Cheers everybody
Porchetta's real place is in Ariccia, a town near Rome. There, you are given porchetta alongside a big tagliere of many different side dishes, and you can enjoy them individually. Highly recommended!
Hi guga, next time you come in Italy, come near Rome, in the Castelli Romani, the place where real porchetta has born, where there are “Porchettari”, little shops on the streets where you choose all the fresh ingredients you’d like in your panino!
Guga looks SLICK these days I'm a big guy and I love watching your videos, ngl I'm kinda motivated to hit the gym a couple times now that I see guga in such a good shape
Omg. Guga, you are literally like the very first person I've come across that ALSO hates arugula! 😅 I like some lettuce in some of my sandwiches, for some crunch and freshness... but arugula is none of that. The taste is gross and overpowering and texture mostly just soft but sort of chewy, at least compared to iceberg lettuce or little gem, which are both nice and crisp.
Hey Guga! Thanks for another great video! Found your channel a few weeks ago and have spent hours binging! soo good! Love it.. Bit of a health nut so fun to watch others make and eat food I avoid.. An idea you might wanna try and do better than I ever could, is Psylium husk.. (and maybe some almond flour\meal) intead of flour for batters for things like fried chicken\motzerall sticks ect.. Fibre instead of carbs.. Browns and gets crispy really well and definitly better than Spiralina on steaks :P I have those 2 sperately.... Gonna get sous vide soon :) Thanks again, have a good day and see ya in Australia :)
Guga why don’t we do a food tour in Mykonos Greece? Anything from gourmet to cheap local cuisine will blow you away.. and I have more surprises for you!

Being Italian, It's hard to find a decent sandwich here in this country. But, between Prosciutto and Capicola are my favorite ones. Thanks Guga for sharing your trip to my homeland which someday I hope to visit.
It's spelled capocollo, also known as coppa in the north
You never been there means you're not italian
hard to find a decent "sandwich" in Italia? Ma vai in mona
Hey Guga! Italian guy here. You are right saying that prosciutto, tomato and mozzarella is like putting Italy in the sandwich. This is a typical summer dish all over Italy, without the sandwich!
Dry age meats in yellow mustard
Hi Guga, italian tradition is not only about pasta or elite food. The popular tradition (less known abroad) is about poor dishes made starting from fresh but not noble ingredients (some times also left-overs), trasforming them in pure delights.
Lampredotto is one, also trippa alla fiorentina, 'nduja, capocchia (testa in cassetta), ribollita, peposo, and so on..
This might sound strange but is how my granma used to cook and it is all about an ancient story of poor people trying to make their best with what they had. Circular economy we would say nowadays, but tasty and flavourful.
Guga PLEASE GO to Pakistan, it's a meat eaters heaven!
What I liked best about this video was seeing how much pride employees took in what they were doing and the food they were serving. That's rare and always makes it better.
Day 2 of asking guga to dry age steaks in seasoned salt
He's already done this
@@samsonthemanson when?????
It's my day 62 in row commenting in every videos to try bedouins MSG Jameed.
But disappointing every time.
@@samsonthemanson no but when did he do this
@@samsonthemansonEh i'll just ask about rendang paste dry age experiment instead
I love your pronunciation of sandwish. Apt, because I am wishing to travel to Italy to try all those amazing places 😍
Sorry Guga but just because you don't like something doesn't mean you can tell people not to buy it. Some people actually like spicy and arugula.
yep
Arugula is delicious lol bro is spoiled out of his mind RUclips style
He can say what he wants. But calling arugula rabbit food is a bit disrespectful. Why even order a sandwich with things on it, that you don’t like? I don’t think they will suffer from his opinion. Italians know what’s good, although some need to improve in quality.
its funny he says that while using the exact opposite logic when talking about the tripe
Yeah, that sandwich looked incredible, this was a very bad take
I mean, that porchetta was screaming "stay away from me" in many different languages lol
We italians do not go to antico vinaio, he's good but there are many better places. He was amazing at marketing and at understanding a more international taste. Thanks for your trip here, best from Italy.
Yo guga I love your videos man, always make my day better seein you upload
Italians are weird, said the Brazil-US-American! Good one! Haven't laughed this hard this year until now. WTF IS A MILE? 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣
Brits use them too
Arrives to Rome, literally goes to the first porchetta place he sees in a tourist area and says that generally all porchetta sandwiches are bad? That’s funny 😅
Tripe is absolutely delicious. Just one of those those things that you just have to ignore what it actually is going in or just don't look it up if you're easily grossed out because its so good.
Sometimes the bread is just too crusty. Like tearing the roof of your mouth type. Just because a dough recipe is traditional, does not mean it should not be tinkered with. The porchetta sandwich breads looked like bricks.
We like it, expecially in the center and south, northen bread is softer.
that is how a good bread looks like, they look like bricks, but taste amazing
One of my favourite sandwich ever, the first one with lampredotto
You absolutely made me drooling over a nice sandwich!
Nothing beats a perfect porchetta sandwich. There's a spot in Mimico that does fresh porchetta on the weekends and it is always INCREDIBLE. No toppings needed, just bread and pork.
You learned how to say porketta and not porch-Etta like you said in the souse vide episode Proud of you gigs
Guga lost some weight. Looking good
Oliver Giannini internazionale ♥
That last Sandwich, even when the guy was describing the ingredients I already know it’s going to be amazing! It had my favorites, potatoes, cheese, and pork, how can it not be good? 😂
Totally agree with Lampredotto review.. one of my favorites
Here in Italy at late nights they got street food stalls that have the "Panino Onto" translated it menas "The Dirty Sandwich", trust me you wont go wrong❤
You definitely got this right! It's all about the ingredients, which in turn are a combination of what our gorgeous soil and ecosystem gift us, and a never-ending passion for tradition. I think the same merit can easily be attributed to countries like Greece, France, and Spain, without making useless comparisons.
Love that Guga picks up an Italian accent when talking with the manager. Lol
Trippa is one of our thousands of regional cuisine dishes, it’s typical from Toscana (tuscany), but even here in the north-east we have some variants of that, “trippa in umido”, “trippa con polenta” etc etc, I’d recommend you guys to try one of my favorite dishes from the Venice area, “baccalà mantecato”, which of course has the “baccalà alla vicentina” and “baccalà in umido” variants and many others, depending where you go (dishes change completely from town to town, even every 3/4 kms), but baccalà mantecato is a miracle I guarantee you.
Beh, trippa è un taglio di carne non un piatto in se'.
@@doublereel-realche cazzo vuol dire, allora anche le costolette sono un taglio di carne ma non un piatto in se’, ma quello che ha mangiato lui è un piatto diocaro, il taglio magari è l’ingrediente usato nel piatto no? sai l’inglese o devo tradurti? Ho letteralmente scritto che esistono diversi piatti, trippa in umido, baccalà alla vicentina eccetera, diocane avete massimo la laurea in patatine e venite a rompere i coglioni, che poi non è un taglio, è proprio un organo, lo stomaco, capitan ovvio.
Bravo Guga, much respect from Florence
The "green stuff" in Italian is called "bagnetto verde" that translates into something like "green bath", and is made of mostly parsley, oil and some anchovies
Also boiled egfs and stale bread that has soaked up some vinegar
@@iafozzac a me sembrava bagnetto verde, quello Piemontese non ha uova né pane al suo interno, l'unica cosa che ho dimenticato e in effetti da molto giusto è l'aglio.
If you are not Italian, I'll let you know that this sauce isn't made with eggs and stale bread in Italy, the country of the video
@@nicoloodomaro1225 non so dove sei stato in Piemonte ma io ci sono nato, cresciuto e ci vivo da trent'anni. Il bagnetto verde piemontese ha anche uova sode, pane e aceto
thank you for also showing the scams happening in Rome, you gotta be careful and distinguish good from bad. especially as a tourist
The last sandwich looks divine 😍
"Schiacciata" is the term for focaccia in Florence. The same thing is called "Pizza Bianca" in Rome and "Focaccia" in many other regions of Italy. Why? Because it varies slightly depending on the region. The version from Florence is specifically called "Schiacciata," but in other provinces, it's referred to as "Focaccia." Next time you visit Italy, make a video and talk about it! Our country is beautiful because of the diversity of our cuisine, food, vegetables, grapes, and many other things. This is Italy's real strength-variety. Thank you!
Ciao Guga, loved the video. As a Italian guy from the north (Milano) I really want to suggest you to try Panino con la meuza from Sicily. To me is one of the best sandwich ever. I apologize to my fellow Italians from Sicily if I have spell it wrong. Cheers everybody
Porchetta's real place is in Ariccia, a town near Rome. There, you are given porchetta alongside a big tagliere of many different side dishes, and you can enjoy them individually. Highly recommended!
I find it amazing that even native Italians recognise Guga. Goes to show how big a name Guga has become.
Hi guga, next time you come in Italy, come near Rome, in the Castelli Romani, the place where real porchetta has born, where there are “Porchettari”, little shops on the streets where you choose all the fresh ingredients you’d like in your panino!
Guga looks SLICK these days I'm a big guy and I love watching your videos, ngl I'm kinda motivated to hit the gym a couple times now that I see guga in such a good shape
Omg. Guga, you are literally like the very first person I've come across that ALSO hates arugula! 😅 I like some lettuce in some of my sandwiches, for some crunch and freshness... but arugula is none of that. The taste is gross and overpowering and texture mostly just soft but sort of chewy, at least compared to iceberg lettuce or little gem, which are both nice and crisp.
Hey Guga! Thanks for another great video! Found your channel a few weeks ago and have spent hours binging! soo good! Love it.. Bit of a health nut so fun to watch others make and eat food I avoid.. An idea you might wanna try and do better than I ever could, is Psylium husk.. (and maybe some almond flour\meal) intead of flour for batters for things like fried chicken\motzerall sticks ect.. Fibre instead of carbs.. Browns and gets crispy really well and definitly better than Spiralina on steaks :P I have those 2 sperately.... Gonna get sous vide soon :) Thanks again, have a good day and see ya in Australia :)
Guga why don’t we do a food tour in Mykonos Greece? Anything from gourmet to cheap local cuisine will blow you away.. and I have more surprises for you!
4:27 great quote, I heartily agree
Turkey has an amazing sandwich of tripe called Kokorech... It's like a showerma but with fried tripe...lovely.
