alright guys it is time for another food
video this time coming to you from matera Italy and yes check out the views
we are showing them off again because we just can’t seem to get tired don’t get
tired but anyways we’re in the region of Basilicata and we found a restaurant
that specializes in matheran cuisine and one thing I’ve learned here in Italy is
that you never say you’re having Italian food to an Italian because the food
really varies across the country so it’s more about the region you know trying
regional dishes so that’s what we’re gonna be doing one of the most highly
recommended restaurants in the city is just like around the corner from our
Airbnb Suites down another walk yeah seriously yeah and it just opened a few
minutes ago so we’re hoping to be the first customers there 12:30 let’s go eat so we are all settled inside the
restaurant this place is called lecithin a sassy and guess what we’re in Italy
like most of the buildings in this palace that’s pretty cool
we’ve ordered our drinks already we got some sparkling water and we also want to
order red wine and they didn’t have any at least not the house right over it and
I’ve never seen anyone’s face dropped so quickly like the mammoth a but they said
there’s no red of the house wine he was just like so we yeah the other one it
cost like double so he decided to go for the roof a instead yeah I’m gonna mix it
up a bit right yeah Sam doesn’t like white so this is kind of like an
all-around I would say I don’t like it I just have a strong preference or red
yeah Rosanna is sure try that I like it yeah yeah it’s very light and
very refreshing I don’t think it’s your kind of wine but I’m going to enjoy this
with my Neal for sure and yeah we ordered pastas as our mains and they
asked us if we wanted like antipasti and all these other things which is not
known still up same thing to do yeah I think our stomachs aren’t quite adjusted
to the Italian ways there we have like four courses so we’re just gonna do
pasta and dessert and wine you’ve already gone red so I think that’s
plenty to work with yeah I’d say all right so rosy not ready
that it has a very fruity smell yes it’s super lights it’s the ladies wine would
say you know it’s it’s it’s refreshing you know give me that yeah but it’s I
would never choose this over over a drag rent you never ever
anyways let’s try the local bread looks really cool yeah Wow spongy this parts
really spongy you can tell this part it’s gonna be really crispy it’s just
like either a crusty crusty that’s it crust oh can you hear that crunch mm-hmm
I read that quite the contrast between the crust and the sponginess of the
bread this would be amazing to like dip in olive oil or something would pop it
up but I think what we’ll do is probably use it for our pasta sauce really good
stuff all right guys the food is here and oh my oh my this looks so good does
so I ordered the pasta that’s called orecchiette which i believe me
ears or little ears because of the shape if you have a look at the noodle here it
kind of has that form mix it around for us a bit you know me
to mix it but I think it’s already all mixed in but yeah this pasta comes with
kind of doing chili mushrooms and pork sausage so let’s try to get a little bit
of everything in one bite deep it looks rowdy
absolutely marvelous I have to say still piping off my gosh this is so one second so you can
describe your thoughts and feelings it is wonderful the pork sausage is so
flavorful I really like that it’s not like hot spicy but there’s like spices
mixed in with the meat so it’s just really lovely it goes so well with the
tomato sauce and I also really like the mushrooms
also I think something that’s kind of neat about this restaurant is that
they’ve kept the portions very reasonable it’s like gargantuan size
past us it’s just very you know very reasonable we noticed that too and the
portions came because we’re so used to you know like them North American pasta
bowls um but it makes sense I mean if people are eating like four horses yeah
you can’t really have a heaping plate of pasta otherwise you won’t have you know
space for your meat or your seafood or whatever it’s it’s good for us to soar
we’re not gonna be leaving in a food yeah we have some things to do for
dessert we always complain about being yo today we’ll have lots of room this is
just alright okay so I’m sharing mine with ya super exciting so I’m getting a
little bit of everything the my shoe and the pork sausage pasta all in one bite
all in one go Wow
yeah it’s just like I always I think I’ve said this before but like at the
pasta Italy is just so next level mm-hmm it’s like you can’t even compare it to
anything you have in North America yeah it tastes like hardcore too that yeah
just like cardboard in comparison we still reach the richness of the sauce
and the freshness of the ingredients quality is just it’s outstanding it just
yes it’s a wonderful start to the meal for sure yeah and I can’t wait to show
your pasta because you went for something super decadent I did I did
okay so it should be secure master oh my gosh it’s an exciting moment so this is
very jelly with the cheese fondue oh yeah and also comes with big chunks of
mushrooms and also pistachio all ground up yeah and we ordered this the waitress
with like oh yeah yeah yeah this looks really cheesy it’s got a really nice
creamy cheesy sauce let’s try that yeah what do you think yeah if you have to
choose between your cheese fondue and mine do you have a favorite I think I
like the cheese fondue yeah it’s it’s not as is overpowering as I thought it
would be though yeah but what I really like about it is the crunchiness of the
pistachio and then the juiciness of the mushrooms and just it’s creamy it’s just
well it makes for a wonderful place so I’m trying Sam’s dish now and both of
her past has had mushrooms but yours had porcini which are different from the
ones I got right so let’s see what this is all about I’m trying to get it all
the posh yes I know they did not skimp on this pistachio let me tell you mom
good it’s just coated in that like thick creamy cheese like yeah it’s not very
often that I eat fondue yeah I still see it more with dessert no yeah I do
that’s true a lot of times when I’ve had a cheese fondue it’s been like a swiss
one and it’s also come with chocolates there were you kind of like dip
strawberries in the chocolate but this is the completely different off on a
tangent here you don’t even need me like these mushrooms just have a wonderful
texture yeah I agree Yama Yama Yama really that well well
dessert is here Sam claims he had ordered this one for himself hi ricotta cheesecake with pears yes
and if you have a closer look at the cake you can kind of see the layers of
cream and pear and cream and pear like oh my that looks amazing and it has a
dusting of icing sugar so amazing so let’s dig right in let’s have a bite of
this Wow what say you actually wow you say
well do you describe Wow are you but I wonder think to begin the the ricotta
cheese and like mixed it with whipped cream yeah for the middle layer because
it’s just so fluffy okay I’m so light yeah this is just a
really good place tea huh and I really like the pink layers as
well yeah just really very light very good good meal my turn
well you’re letting me try yours yeah parent Lee apparently I am apparently
apparently who it is later than I thought I thought it was more dense yeah
it’s a very light cheese cake what do you think ricotta cheese cake oh the
fruit the food is what makes it for me yeah
we already nice that is some kind of food okay
and now yours oh it’s like a chocolate cake it looks more like a chocolate lava
cake yeah I’m supposed to have caramelized walnuts so we’re not seeing
you’re not seeing any in there about less maybe they’re out of season or
maybe they forgot I’m not touching the walnuts but that is one heck of a good
lava cake like eh rich chocolate flavor you want to round
around so he conceded it don’t you get each other got them
not that kind of like awful over sugary chocolate like this is more of the
powerful like the richness of it with the chocolate tastes not with sugar and
so this is just it’s very decadent it’s very yeah we’re gonna be known for the
dessert oh yeah now your did you try this one okay hold on here I
go chocolate a lot of cake it is look at that oh yeah
that’s why you stay it’s almost like a brownie yeah fresh art of the yarn for
the oven with but with the chocolate so melty chocolate yeah this is really good
they don’t I kind of like that they’re very different desserts likely
contrasting desserts just you have a lot lighter mister like more refreshing on
the politics of the crew yeah whereas this one is just pure chocolaty
chocolate goodness yeah I kind of felt that way about her pasta – it’s nice to
have tomato and it’s used what we’ve really had a nice assortment of flavors
anyway so yeah we’re gonna we’re gonna polish that off and we’ll let you know
the price afterwards all right so Sam that made me run back
into the restaurant because forgot his glasses
well whole seventies Colossus was her prescription look it came to 37 years
total and that included a big sparkling water half the leader of roses a two
passes as a mean to desserts mhm yeah there’s something there’s a little bit
of a service charge included in that it was two euros per person it’s basically
how do you explain it’s like the right to sit down at the restaurant I know
they charge you for like sitting down I don’t know it’s like cutlery usage or
bread or whatever fairly sure it sort of affects how much of a tip weight you
have to be back in to get the glasses a good restaurant to and we had a really
good time it’s just in they setting quality food and I was time here siesta
ciao guys
well, as usual, I'm first, LOL
Italian food is always right!!
If there is reincarnation I want to come back as you guys! What a beautiful life. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures.
Oh, this looks delicious! We're actually really missing Italian food on our travels here in Southeast Asia…
Hello Sam and Audrey! Hmmmmm…yammy. yammy! Red wine, pasta excellenta! Cake with fruits & chocolate! Thank you!
Cheese fondue as desert? Girl, are you ok? ๐
you will be eating so many great pasta in Italy!!! give also a try to the cheap street food that especially in the south is so good!!!
In many of your videos judging by Sam's face, he could be fed by salmon and cheesecake for the rest of his life. You're my Idol
HAPPY DAY SAN VALANTINE MAY FRIENDS
I think one could make just a full-time youtube channel with only covering Italian food… or just maybe just niche into the 'sponsy' breads haha
great !!! you are in italy ๐ we hope that we'll see a full guide of rome like London!!
we are going to visit rome in november and that will be great!!!!
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐
wine: It's refreshing
How do u guys order your food in europe we found in italy people didnt speak english amd menu wasnt in english or is just we were doing something wrong
… gone to empty my fridge
I love you guy! Beem watching for over a year now. Ill be going to italy and greece this summer! Super excited
I don't agree with restaurants adding service charge on the bill, it does put you off leaving a tip
Why are you tipping at all? Surely it is not common in Italy and especially after a surcharge.
Sam and Audrey another great video I always look forward to watching you guys explore the world You are GREAT
Enjoy Italy. It's like a dream. Good to see you!
I would walk over broken glass to get to that ricotta-pear-cheesecake! Great video as usual.
Awesome. I've been twice to Matera.
The local Materan bread is so good!
One must always eat orrechiette in Basilicata.
Happy Valentine's day you two lovebirds great video as usual . I really needed this today missing my husband like crazy .
Getting charged to sit is the norm for Italy. I never tried asking if I could stand and eat.
The opening camera shots would make for a great puzzle.
Love this one!! And I've noticed,Audrey has two speeds: Regular and slow-mo.
You guys are so much fun! Found you recently looking for Hongkong videos! I was there in 87 for a ten day Oddesy! Was able to stay with a friend there from the states working for an electronic company! FREE RENT! That was back in my DRINKING days so you can imagine it helped arrange the Odessy! Haha! You were wondering about Netflix vids to watch. Here's my recommendations …….Silicon Valley A great comedy series…….Westworld a great scifi series………….stranger things…..strange scifi……….Narcos. A Pablo Escobar Story about the drug lord in Columbia!………Surfwise….the story of a doctor quitting his profession and raising surfing kids in a motel home in the 60s………..I have other suggestions I'll think of later and send on. Hope you dig some of them. Also check out my channel for great music,science,travel,art, and odd videos I've saved from the great and mighty YOUTUBE. Google got a deal for 60 BILLION! Peace and LOVE ya'll !

I thought tipping wasnโt the norm in other countries other than the US. Great video. Enjoy watching you guys!
Se me hace agua la boca con esas pastas !!! sigan asรญ, intento descifrar lo que el traductor de youtube quiere decirme, pero igual los veo …Saludos desde Paranรก Entre Rรญos Argentina.

YUMMY thanks for sharing ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐ธ
Sam Rockin' the Jaipur
What do they do with handicapped people? That town looks horrendous!
Since tipping is not the norm in Italy/Europe, this business of adding a service charge for sitting, may be the way they stack a server fee into the bill. Think about it. Makes the food menu read cheaper. Or maybe they really want a carry-out clientele?? <grin>
I don't believe in tipping as a practice, but I live in US, so it is a given.
I would love to live where, tipping is not an (expected) add-on charge; this sitting fee never happens; tax is not thrown on after the fact (at the end). Oh, to be where you know what you are paying, and the service is good because it has to be in the job, not just in trying to earn a tip. You are doing the traveling — let me know where it is. ๐
There is no need to tip in Italy! Awesome video guys, I just found your channel and Find it very entertaining! Subbed!
Yummmmmmm!
Loved the chocolate lava cake shots.
Wow amazing vlog
Hello.Great video ! ๐
I don't know if you did, but if you are still in matera, you have to try the original matera bread there.
Looks like great food but I'd hate to try to have a private conversation there. The acoustics really did sound like a cave, which, of course, it was.
So…I reckon you won't be going back into that restaurant anytime soon, because of the tiny, tiny tip you left them ๐
Pretty cool stuff. A bit expensive but i'm sure a memorable experience for you two. Thanks for sharing.
An amazing video ! Thanks for it ! Have a nice travel ! You are so lucky for having an amazing knowledge of travelling around the world! ๐
Hey Sam!ย You have got to do something to get Rob off Little Corn.ย He's turning into a hermit!ย LOLย Nice video and food.ย Killer edit!
How long have you been travelling?
You're a very hedonistic couple. When is the divorce coming?
Hey Guys, I'm guessing you are having internet problems! I know how difficult that can be, I was a Qantas Flight Attendant for 20 years (Qantas is a major airline from Australia) and travelling the world can certainly be frustrating when trying to connect to the internet!
I check everyday hoping for a new video. You said you were putting out 2 last weekend, which you did – and they were fabulous! But, you said you were putting out 4 during the week but, nothing!
Are you able to perhaps send a quick video when you can't put out videos, because it just seems that they are coming out less and less frequently! Are you thinking of not vlogging anymore? I can imagine that it would take up a large portion of your life! I thought you may have found another social media platform. If you have could you please let us know because I'm guessing everyone would love to follow that. Wherever you are posting please let me know because I am a fan of your videos etc
Currently searching YouTube to find something that is remotely as good as your fabulous VLOGS to keep me entertained in the interim!
You guys rock xxxx
I guess itโs time for you to visit the Philippines ๐ต๐ญ๐
Etf Now now now !!!
Not the best idea to watch this video at lunch time. Now we're soooo hungry!
Just wondering, since my last message 3 days ago, if you are still vlogging? I hope everything is okay. You said there would be 4 videos coming last week….but, nothing! Do you think you will be posting this week? I sent another message asking if, perhaps, you may have decided to give the game away for awhile and pursue other ventures. It's all good, but we would all just like to know (when I say "WE" I mean myself and all my travel friends who joined your page upon my suggestion) what your intentions might be! Cheers xx
Once again S&A video made me sooooooo hungee!!!!! Great video!
Audrey, it's so cool seeing you on the Expedia TV ads! Great job!
Nice work nd pretty couple i like your viedo
I also love just red wine ๐ nice video!!
I just watched your Expedia commercial, congratulations!
S. e A. non avete mai mangiato bene come qui in Italia e specialmente a Matera. good apetit. t l
Orecchiette is the hypocoristic form of the italian word for "ears".
It's a traditional variety of pasta from Puglia, but I think it's probably the most widespread regional variety all over Italy.
Cute video! Food looked yummy!!๐
Shout out to JAIPUR T-shirt Sam is wearing.
Ugly subscribe thing on the right on full screen spoils the video
Hi guys,
The food and the desserts looks so delicious!!
Plus the old buildings was amazing to see.
Thanks for sharing.
You are not supposed to tip in Italy! Only foreigners do… Italians don't. The price on the menu is what you are supposed to pay, no added taxes or tip. Waiters and cooks already receive a full salary, they don't live on tips. (from an Italian)
I will miss you with your videos! Matera is third oldest city in the world, after Aleppo and Damasco, who certainly know where are! Basilicata and Molise are the less knowing Italian Regions, probably becuase there are small, and long time ago Molise was a part of Abruzzo, who is in the north of that two regions!
You can see South Italy cuisine is complete different from Tuscany and North Italy?
Not all Mediterranean countries use the same recipes, when someone states "Mediterranean cuisine" it means they share a lot of core ingredients but not necessarily recipes. There is no traditionally Mediterranean recipes, the traditional part equates to the recipe owner of a specific country not the group itself.
Sam, you might be interested to learn that much of the best Italian pizza and some pasta contains substantial proportions of "Desert Durum" wheat grown in Arizona. I should not be surprised if some of the best Canadian wheats also found their place in Italian pastas. As to why N. American pasta should not be up to the quality of the Italian is an imponderable! You should chivvy the Canadian govt. to wake up, since much of the pizza 00 flour is re-exported to N. America, especially USA, for "Italian style" dishes. SO why not learn to make the good stuff right here at home?
great video, I was born not far from there, so I'm really happy that you appreciate so much our food. ๐
anyway, the service charge it's very common in Italy, like you find it in 99% of the restaurants because we don't use to tip as much as in the US, so they charge it for the bread and the service almost like a general tip. it's very unlikely to leave more than a couple of euros as a proper tip. ๐
All this food in Italy looks sooo yummy ๐ You two have wonderful videos! I've been watching your channel all day for the past few days haha
This is my city! Thank you for posting this on youtube! great video!
Very good review.
porco dio viva l'italia
This where the passion of the christ was filmed
In Italy you can't cut pasta with a knife eheh
Beata ignoranza.
Audrey you look like Jessica Biel ๐
Great video. Love the music. Who is the music by? [email protected]
I so enjoy Audrey's delight with Sam's food happiness! Great fun to watch this, and everything you both do. Thank you!!
It is a torture to watch these videos on an empty stomach ! And I say this as an Italian ! ๐ Buon appetito !
Damn! Finally seeing videos about my city, i'm so proud
I am Italian. My Heard pounding vor Italy. I Love the People, the Food an the Land ! BEST LAND FOREVER MY ITALY !!!!
Love Italian food!
9:02 the ricotta and pears cake was created by Sal De Riso his pastry shop is in Minori.
๐๐๐๐
audrey, you are a sexi lady…
What's with the man singing the English song in the background on Italian restaurant?
The two euros they charged you is called "coperto", and it's actually for the cutlery, dishes, tablecloth and napkins you're using, but it is also for the bread.
The 2 euros each are for "coperto", wich includes the bread and the service.
Remember that the "tip" is not a thing in italy, sure you can give the tip if you like, but it's not a thing for us.
We just have the "coperto".
Bye
If u came back in italy u have to visit Puglia it s amazing
Hai assaggiato la brasciola…..
Italians make you pay the "coperto" the seating, cause we don't have any tips culture in Italy.
Also, please, please, i don't want to be a cunt, but it's PistaKKio, cch and ch in italian sound like a K.
Did you know that pasta was invented by China??, when Marco Polo came back from China after many of his trips he brought pasta to Italy and then Italians incorporate it in their gastronomy
2 motherfuckers, already drunk for 250 ml of fkn wine… e no SIESTA, noi diciamo la contro-ora
go to Bologna
So crazy with the portion size compared to north america…this is the amount we should be eating
The huge portions in North America are one of the reasons why there are lots of overweight people. The other reason is a lot of food in North America is filled with chemicals & gross stuff.
Please come back to Matera – 2019 European Capital of Culture!! You will always be welcome!
Your videos are next level guys
Love u both ๐
