00:00It's a love story, because it's born from a gesture of love that Alfredo dedicated 110 years ago to his consort who was weakened by childbirth and who engineered and found this dish of pasta to be able to regenerate it,
00:27adding two very nutritious ingredients such as butter and parmesan, but he was not satisfied only with creating a dish, but he enriched it with a gesture, his gesture of love.
00:44So he dedicated this fettuccina to her, making this fettuccina fly with this wise movement, a bit like a waltz, and from there Alfredo's fettuccina was born.
00:56So it's born from a gesture of love, and through this love, there are signatures, dedications, photos, episodes and incredible presences that fill this restaurant, not only with photos, but with energy, beauty and a great breath, a very beautiful breath.
01:14We want to relive them through our books of dedications that we keep and guard very jealously, because in these books we see decades of history of Italian literature, politics, music and sport.
01:29So talking about Marconi, Pirandello, Greta Garbo, Fellini, Ossordia, it's really a pride. The clientele has changed a lot, it's always a very international clientele, it has rejuvenated a lot.
01:47That's why we have a lot of young people who come here and who, alas, rather than immediately dedicate themselves to the fettuccina Alfredo, they prefer to resume it, so they lose a lot of time.
01:58This is a dish that must be eaten immediately, because it cools down instantly. So there is a bit of a search for the VIP, who came.
02:10The young man remains a little fascinated, but there is also the search for history. Coming here means entering a slice of history of Italian cuisine, but also of the world, of Italian glamour.
02:26Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, when they came here in the 1920s, went crazy and donated to Alfredo a set of golden posadas. They told their love story during a wedding trip to all American media, and from there the fettuccina Alfredo mania started.
02:43And in America the myth of the fettuccine Alfredo started thanks to these two myths of American mutual cinema.
