Its stories have been told and retold on stage and screen, the city Of Togas and gladiatorings, power and greig, empire and ruin, and of Course La dolce veita, the good life. Im stanley tucci. Im italian on both sides and im traveling across italy to discover how the food in each of this countrys 20 regions is as unique as the people and their past. The famous ancients of rome once ruled the world. [ speaking foreign language ] but im here to discover how its the food of ordinary romans that has conquered our hearts. But im going to warn you. If youre on a Low Carb do it, beware. Youre going to see a lot of pasta in this show. Hey. I mean, like a lot, like a lot. Ive been visiting rome for decades. Its Beauty And History still leave me breathless. Rome is situated in latsia, a region sometimes overloOked in favor of Tuscany And Umbria but lazzo has fed them every year. They have deeply flavorsome food. To start my jumpy im watching up with My Old Friend claudia. Shes lived here virtually her whole life. Her Cardinal Rule is When In Rome eat as the romans do. You Ok . Yeah. You Ok . It was a long timing. It was a long time. Somehow almost 30 years has slipped by since we were friends when we worked on movie together. I think you came like 95. No. Up think 93. The undercover blue. I didnt know i was that old. I know. Me either. Lets dont mention i would. With an hour to kill we decided to get a cup of coffee. Its a real institution thats where we went a long time ago. Yeah. We were there every evening, you know. Back in the 90s we used to hang out in a great cafe in a grimy part of town very much on the wrong side of the river. And i was pleased to hear its still going strong. You remember this . Yes, i do, i do. 93. Notice the same. I think nothing changed in this place. No it hasnt changed. A little espresso would be enough to whet our appetites before going to lunch. Whats that . Whos joining us . [ speaking foreign language ] these are a roman breakfast with a 2,000yearold history. In the middle amgs they were one of the few sweet things the church allowed you to eat during leapt. Doesnt seem very saintly to me. Is it like a Brie Oesh . Its healthy as compared to this. This is [ speaking foreign language ] sort of doughnut with egg cream. Theres always something sweet. [ speaking foreign language ] nice to see you again. Chow. As we starringered off from breakfast i noticed the area as hipper than years ago. You see the, as nice as they are, very small. Right. Then, of course, as it happened, the old things got very trendy and everybody wanted to live here. Yeah. The city may be changing but one thing thats as constant as the happened marx is how much people in rome love their pasta. Four Star Dishes in particularly have become an emblem of the City And Claudia is taking me to a place she says is the pantheon of pasta. Are restaurants full. We dont care. [ speaking foreign language ] pasta in rome. Pasta in rome is like you eat it every day. You dont live without pasta. And everybody has its own recipe and of course its the best ever, you know, and yours is nothing compared to mine and it does become very territorial, doesnt it . Right. Romans revere what they call the four pastas. Nice to see you. Thank you for having me. Simple by iconic dishes of staggering deliciousness. There are creamy things made with Sheeps Cheese and pepper. The ancient grezza which has added pork. Its does inl, which is elevated with Egg Yolks and finally our Lunch Today made with tomatoes and this roman favorite, fatty pork cheek. This is one. [ speaking foreign language ] its a base for a lot of different dishes in rome. We would normally use Pan Chetta but the taste is different. [ speaking foreign language ] [ speaking foreign language ] thank you so much. Those are delicious, delicious. The sauce is no, no. I kept a place in my stomach. Because we didnt eat that my goal. Across this city every single day romans eat pasta that has ancient bonds to their surrounding countryside. Its hard to man but this Iconic Food was once at risk of being banned in italy. Hey, you wanna get out of here . Weve got you. During expedia travel week, save 20 or more on thousands of hotels. Expedia.

Impressive. But will it last the whole trip . Youll have battery all day. And then more. This is different. Told you. Sitting at the big, warm, carbohydrateloaded heart of Italian Cuisine is pasta. And fittingly for the nations capital, rome is obsessed with the stuff. Ive been promised the best carbonara in the city and ive been told to come to the workingclass backstreets behind Termini Station and to ask for the don. Tell me what you do. Im passionate about popular food and for a long time i made a show where i play Vinyl Music Disc and thats. Like a dj . As a dj, yeah. As a dj. But at the same time. Daniele Di Michele is a chef, Historian And Dj who coOks Italian Food while he spins records. His Stage Name is don pasta. Oh i have seen some of the stuff. Yeah, yeah. Oh its really fantastic. Yeah its crazy, its crazy. I was pretending for the audience that i didnt know, but why lie . Its a jOke. Its really great. Don pasta has promised me the greatest dish of Spaghetti Carbonara ive ever tasted and on the way he tells me why pasta matters so much to him. I realised that Italian Food is popular food roots food. Italian food is the resistance of the normal people or the workingclass people that eat well because the workingclass people create The Roots of Italian Food. Yes. Today we may think of a bowl of pasta as the ultimate Comfort Food but theres a distinctly uncomfortable history of italians fighting oppression through pasta. In the early 1930s, mussolini and his fascists imposed import bans on various foreign goods. This lead to food shortages, malnutrition and a lack of wheat which raised the prospect of italian tables with no pasta. [ speaking foreign language ] in typical style, rather than lifting the import bans mussolini tried to convince italians that eating pasta would make them weak, lazy and even sexually impotent and that a high Protein Diet would make them more productive and warlike. The campaign was clearly not a success. When the fascism arrived a big part of italy is with mussolini. Yeah. But 3040 is against mussolini. In Fact Pasta actually became a powerful symbol of the resistance against his fascist regime. Armed with their guns and sheets of pasta many of the partisans who stood up to mussolini lived in these very streets. And the Great Access Railyards from which troops and supplies are poured into Southern Italy are blasted. Tucci during World War two, this area bore the brunt of allied bombings that aimed to disrupt the nearby rail hub. Tragically, over A Thousand people were killed. This is in essence like a monument. Yeah, you can see the effect of the war. Yeah. People died, the families died and all this area is bombed. This particular square was home to a hugely popular local trattoria before the war. The Owners Wife and all but one of their children died when their building was hit during the bombing. After the war the local Community Raised Funds for the surviving Father And Son to reopen the restaurant again. The boy started work here aged just eight and amazingly hes still here today. The story of Roman Food, aldo pomudollo. Tucci aldo. Beautiful. Aldo now runs the restaurant alongside his daughter rossana. People come from across the city, and apparently further afield to enjoy the comfort of aldos family food. [ speaking foreign language ] so tell me about carbonara. Carbonara is a roman dish but we dont know when it was invented right . One Story Id always heard is that carbonara came about when the american soldiers in rome during the war started missing their bacon and eggs from back home and wanted them added to spaghetti. Aldo, however, has his own theory. [ speaking foreign language ] [ speaking foreign language ] seems some things are destined to remain roman myths. What anyone can agree on is that the food here is incredible. [ speaking foreign language ] you have basically four ingredients pasta, eggs, the guanciale, and cheese. Thats it. But when i try it at home its never this good. My mother does that too. You could just die now. When i taste pasta like this, i understand why it remains so important to this city. Rome may be the seat of Power And Religion but its overwhelmingly a working class town. This is simple food that has been elevated over centuries by people making the best of what little they had available. They are rightly proud that their humble food has come to define italy to the entire world. Will you turn to cold washing in tide. Unsubscribe. Wait, wait, wait this helps the environment.

Gracias, San Francisco. Thank you. [ speaks native language ] lets keep Making A Differene together. Ive headed five miles out of the City Centre using the newly extended metro line. Romans have a reputation for resisting change and the arrival of the subway in 2014 has shaken up old poor neighbourhoods of the city, nowhere more so than centocelle. Im meeting massimiliano whos the editor of italys most prestigious Food Journal to find out whats going on. Gentrification is moving in on this Neighbourhood And Food is on the front line. Massimiliano the neighbourhood was born during mmhmm. Centocelle is a roman Name Cento Carceri is 100 jails in english. 100 jails . Jails, yeah, exactly. There may never have actually been One Hundred jails here but what this area does have is three new Subway Stations all within close proximity. Massimiliano these things change up the game, Ok . A lot of people came here to try to invest a bit. Yeah. Is this where were going . Yeah, its here. Lets go in and see what hes got. Centocelle has long had a rough reputation. Thats changing fast though and one place thats seen by some as Ground Zero for the transformation of the neighbourhood is a deli. [ speaking foreign language ] vincenzo opened this place well before the metro arrived. He wanted to rehabilitate the surrounding lazio regions mediocre reputation for food and bring the best of the countryside back for his neighbours to enjoy at fair prices. [ speaking foreign language ] can i taste some . Pecarino cheese is made from Sheeps Milk and rome is famous for it. Historically the animals were raised all around lazio as a cheaper alternative to cattle and crops. Vincenzo goes a step further than most sellers and searches in some unlikely places for cheese that also helps his community. Smeeks [ speaking foreign language ] what does that mean . Massimiliano in a jail. In a jail. In a jail. Jail. Jail. In a jail. Oh Ok. Only in italy would an ancient Cheese Recipe be saved by prisoners. [ speaking foreign language ] . Really . [ speaking foreign language ] right, yeah. Thats delicious. Hmm. As well as Sheeps Milk cheese, pork finds its way into almost every dish ive had in rome. Historically, pigs were raised all around the city because they need less space than other animals. To Me Vincenzo Is Doing [ speaking foreign language ] to Me Vincenzo Is Doing something amazing. Now people come here from around the city to this once overloOked suburb but over the past few years another 50 to 60 Food Places have opened up nearby. Romans are renowned for their stubborn resistance to change i guess its whats kept this City Standing for centuries but massimiliano wants to show me another cafe in the area, one of many that have opened in recent years. I wasnt fully prepared for what we found. [ speaking foreign language ] its hard to imagine, but a few months ago this place was a thriving Okshop'>Cafe And BoOkshop called La Peccora Elettrica the electric sheep. On the night of April 25th 2019 Alessandras Cafe was firebombed. She set about rebuilding her business but shockingly, the night before she was due to reopen the attackers struck again. [ speaking foreign language ] three local businesses have now been attacked like this in centocelle including a Pizza Place and this jazz bar. The police still havent found whos responsible. Because alessandra hosted Community Events at the cafe, including antifascist talks, suspicion has fallen on the far right. But others here blame local criminals protecting their old turf or even antigentrification campaigners. But is this happening in other parts of rome too . [ speaking foreign language ] when change happens, romans resist but whoever did this has made it dangerous to sell food. It seems brutal to attack restaurants and cafes in this city that is united in its love of eating together. Darrells family uses Gain Flings now so their laundry smells more amazing than ever.

Tucked in a curve of the River Tiber is testaccio, once known as the belly of rome, home to the old slaughterhouses that supplied 19th and 20th Century romans with meat. So tell me about this place. This is the ex mattatoio, the retired slaughterhouse. Right. And for about A Hundred years, until the 1970s its where most large roman animals were slaughtered basically from lambs all the way up through steer. This four square Mile Site will be redeveloped into a cultural area. But for now, signs of its former life are everywhere. Katie you can still see the tracks that the carcasses move on. Oh yeah, for the carcasses, yeah. Katie parla is a renowned Food Writer who swapped New Jersey katie you got the Veal Pavilion here. In butchery the animal is quartered and those cuts went straight to the upper and middleclass Kitchens Everything thats left over, the blood, brains and intestines, was called the Quinto Quarto The Fifth Quarter and those were left to the poor. Some workers were even paid in offal instead of money, so they had little choice but to make the best of it. One restaurant keeping these historic flavours alive and taking them into the 21st century is santo palato. If you know how to coOk offal, you can turn the poorest guts into the richest of dishes. Katie were hungry right . Katie were hungry right . Starving. Follow me. I havent eaten in like an hour. And katie wants me to meet sara a young chef with a growing reputation for doing amazing things with innards. [ speaking foreign language ] katie shes gonna make a right. And its topped with chicken innards. So everything we focus on here in your restaurant is offal. Yes. Yes, good. One egg per person. Ok. Yep. [ speaking foreign language ]. Throughout the day. Oh yeah. Have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Yeah. I like it in a sandwich. Tucci yes in a sandwich. Thats what i used to take when i was a kid to school. She chef sara gave up Medical School to pursue her dream of opening a restaurant. Tucci so the stomach, the heart and the liver. Sara yes. In rome you find Frittata And Tucci but separately. Katie yeah, and she has combined them. Tucci yeah. [ speaking foreign language ] katie its ready. Tucci oh wow. Katie smell it. Wow, rich. Tucci Oh Yeah thats nice. Dont forget about this bread. Oh wow, yeah, nice and hot too. Katie so good. Yeah. This is really special. And i think its a really good demonstration of what sara does really well which is taking roman classic flavours and combining them. Yeah. Yeah. In a way thats new but not like revolutionary or extra contemporary they just make sense in the cuisine today. Sara gets her scalpel into some Beef Heart and we take a seat in the dining room. Whats that . [ speaking foreign language ] really, this is a really unusual texture too isnt it . Alright so if we break down what the offal are we have heart, liver, lungs, stomach. Brain. Brain, sweetbreads. Intestines. Snout. Snout . Cartilaginous things on the face . Oh yeah. The whole head really, if you think about it. The whole head. Yeah. If pasta is the first pillar of Roman Food the astonishing use of offal is definitely the second. Somehow poor romans turn these unpromising cuts into sheer culinary poetry. Yeah. Alright. Tucci dude, i love oxtail. Katie im so into it. Katie so tasty. Thats really good. And this is definitely a more carnivorous city than it is a fish eating city. Without question, yeah. Even though were 15 miles from the sea. I know. That was really really far in. Pre1970s standards before Ice And Refrigeration became more common. Tucci yeah. Yeah. Katie lots of nice Stomach Geometry going on. Ive never heard it described as Stomach Geometry. It makes it sound much, much more palatable. That is really good. Its boiled multiple times often with vinegar, that tenderises it and cleans it, and then its coOked in Tomato Sauce with pecorino and mint. Yeah. In rome this is really the only way you find tripe, in fact the dish is called trippa alla romana. Ah yeah. And go to another place, florence included, and the tripe is prepared differently. Stewed stomach may not sound appealing, i know, but believe me, these are really tasty flavours. The roman poor didnt have much to work with but against the odds they wound up making some of the very best food in the city. What can i say . Thanks a lot. Thank you so much katie. Tonight, ill be eating a Veggie Cheeseburger on ciabatta, no tomatoes. [hard a] tonight. Ill be eating four Cheese Tortellini with extra tomatoes. [full emphasis on the soft a] so its come to this .

No, its not christmas, its artichOke season. Right now, markets across the city are humming with the sound of people hacking away at romes favourite vegetable. So show me the artichOkes. Alla romana. Or Alla Giudia once once trimmed, they can be deep fried to make one of my alltime favourite Roman Foods. Carciofi Alla Giudia jewish fried artichOkes. You know my grandmother and my mother would make these. Ask anyone here and theyll tell you that this weird loOking vegetable is a definitive Roman Food. Thank you so much. Thank you. Byebye. Ciao, ciao, ciao. But what i love is that under those rough outer leaves it contains an entire history a story of how societys outcasts can change the habits of an entire city. These picturesque ruins once contained the misery of romes jewish ghetto. From the 1500s onwards, the citys entire Jewish Community was locked in this walled area, only allowed to leave to do menial jobs in the daytime before being locked in at night. [ speaking foreign language ] Italia Tagliacozzo is in her 80s and has lived here her whole life. [ speaking foreign language ] when the nazis seized rome in October 1943 the ghetto was a Sitting Target and its 1,204 residents were sent to the gas chambers. Italia was one of just a handful who escaped when her uncle hid her outside the city. For the few who survived, food became a vital link back to their past. The Jews Of Rome had lived in poverty for centuries and were forced to rely on the cheapest of ingredients. [ speaking foreign language ] using typical roman inventiveness the jews transformed unloved ingredients like anchovies, eggplants and artichOkes into dishes that the entire city would eventually take to its heart. Alongside pasta and offal, the influence of Oking'>Jewish CoOking is the third pillar of roman cuisine today. Italia set up a restaurant serving the best Jewish Food in the ghetto. [ speaking foreign language ] in this kitchen, italia and her Crack Team raise the humble artichOke into food for the ages. [ speaking foreign language ] Ok, so this is that that was done yesterday coOked in the oil and then refrigerated. Alright so hes spreading out the leaves. So coOked, precoOked. LoOk at how beautiful that is. Thats the best one ive had. That is delicious. Its so addictive. Its like eating candy. You just cant stop, its so crispy. That people love. Yeah. This dish tells a story. It has survived the darkest of times and links us to a past that was almost wiped out. To me its a type of historical monument in italian coOking. Now beloved by everyone and proudly embraced by the entire city. That keeps up with you. With flexpath, you can earn your Masters Degree in 14 months for 14,000. Thats the kind of smart i like.

Its my last night in rome. During my time here ive learned that, above all else, food in italy is about who you are and where youre from. But where does that leave you if youre an outsider . Ive come to bistro 64 a restaurant that has won a Michelin Star for serving up some of the best Italian Food in the city. The surprising thing is that the chef is an outoftowner. And no hes not from naples. Or even milan. Hes from japan. Stanley. Kotaro. Nice to meet you. Pleasure. Nice to meet you too. Kotaro noda was lured here 20 years ago by his obsession with the flavours of Italian Cuisine. Nodas food has won praise for its Creativity But Tonight hes making the simplest roman classic. Its one of the famous four pastas cacio E Pepe literally cheese and pepper. there are just three main ingredients but it takes great skill to make this roman favourite perfect. Of course, another italian kitchen secret. Could take a while. I know you may be thinking this is ludicrously simple food but believe me, its extraordinary and dont just take my word for it. Wheres karen . Karen . Come here. Right. Ok. Ok. Ok. This is karen who works with us one of the producers. Shes from rome. So you tell us what you think, karen. Ok. Ok. No pressure. No. No pressure, no pressure. Hes not nervous at all. Noda im not nervous. Tucci he doesnt care about our opinion. Noda Va Bene . Its divine. Yes, its so good. Its perfectly creamy. Its not too intense, its not overloaded with flavour. Yeah. Its the perfect amount of pepper. Yeah. And it really respects, you know, how it would be coOked in a family. Theres always a secret. Theres always a secret, thats true. Theres always a secret. When it comes to food, romans know what they like and like what they know. Beyond his masterful take on the classics Nodas Menu is full of incredible innovations from sweetbreads with heart to purple Potato Cream with plum gelato. I was curious how the city had taken to his creations. The downside of rome being so steeped in history is that sometimes great things are resisted because theyre new and not what people are used to. Missing food this good is a real shame. Im sorry. But heres the thing the one thing Romans Cant resist is a good meal and im hopeful that soon Nodas Food will be another culinary landmark in this eternal city. Tucci i have driven in italy quite a bit. But i did say to one guy when i was doing a movie, i said, its very interesting, people dont really stop at Stop Lights that much. And he goes, no, no, no. The Stop Light is just a suggestion. Theres nowhere on earth quite like tuscany. The land is idyllic, the art is divine and the food is out of this world. Tucci oh my god. It just melts in your mouth. [laughs] im stanley tucci, im fascinated by my italian heritage. So, im travelling across italy to discover how the food, in each of this countries twenty
