FETTUCINI ALFREDO!
As I've mentioned more than a few times before, my favorite restaurant on earth is Ristorante Alfredo alla Scrofa in Rome. So when the ship docked at Civitavecchia, I jumped at the chance to take a bus into the city so I could have my favorite meal...
It was, as expected, beyond delicious.
Other than that, I just wandered around The Eternal City... killing time until my bus returned to port...
Rome is very beautiful and exciting... but it's the Fettucini Alfredo that makes me want to come back.

When did they build a Parthenon in Rome?
😉
Since never! That’s what I get for blogging at 1:00am after eating a massive plate of Fettucini Alfredo! 🙂
I Know, I was just bugging you and being an idiot 🙂
I had the best pasta of my life made for me tableside at a restaurant in Quebec City. I can only imagine how much better from that your pasta was… I need to get my passport updated.
Alfredo’s is truly something unique… the pasta is the best I’ve ever had. It’s almost “flaky” it’s so light and delicious!
YUM.
Indeed. I was full half-way through, but kept eating!
Those photos are gorgeous! I totally want to go to Italy.
I highly recommend it. Whenever anybody asks me where to go on vacation, Italy it #1 on my list!
Rome is so beautiful! I’m a little envious you got to go inside the coliseum. When we were there they were doing restoration work so we couldn’t go in. I need to get back there someday!
Well that sucks! I’ve been to Rome four times now and was able to get in all three times I decided to visit. Since they’re working on it all the time, it’s surprising they would need to close it? It’s a major tourist attraction and must generate a ton of money.
Those photos are stunning.
But even more stunning is your meal. I’ve commented many times on many of your blog posts about my love of Alfredos in NYC. But to be there at the original and have their FETTUCINI ALFREDO makes this person very jealous.
Wishing I could have gone to the Orlando location at Epcot before they closed down in 2007.
I was VERY upset when Alfredo’s pulled out of Epcot. It was a major drawing point to me for the park. I keep hoping that they franchise to New York or L.A. or somewhere… but perhaps it’s best they stay in Rome so I don’t have a heart attack from eating there too often!
Wow. Just wow. And I ain’t talking about the mac ‘n’ cheese…
Heh. If I ever ordered anything BUT the Fettucini Alfredo when visiting Alfredo’s, I’d have to smack myself. If I ordered Mac-N-Cheese, I’d have to shoot myself! 🙂
It’s like an overload of GORGEOUS!
I have heard of FETTUCINI ALFREDO from my friend before, and I have been to Rome 2 time. But I have not been to the FETTUCINI ALFREDO before, until I decide to go to rome again after I read your diary.
