I am in Italy 🇮🇹, and there is a French 🇫🇷 woman next to me who is complaining because the Italians don’t make limoncello the same way the French do 🤣.

In Rome, my American boss tried to order tortellini pasta with carbonara sauce... I told him not to. He tried. He was told "no".

An English colleague ordered cheese w her pasta alle vongole at La Cambusa in Bologna. She noticed the waiter’s face, said, I’m sorry; he said, if you want. Later the whole staff marched out carrying her pasta, behind it, a 🚫 sign + behind that, freshly grated parmigiano.

I was in Italy with a group, some ordered pasta for dinner, they ended up returning it and had a huge argument because the pasta "wasn't cooked"
