Mark my words, you wil go far on KZbin. Excellent videography and stunning visuals. Truly a channel that will go far.

[@MrAssChapman]

What happened to Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare? :p

[@murdo601]

Can't wait for the masa episode!

[@Ciwani013]

How about De Librije in the Netherlands?

[@Fenrisulf87]

Subscribed. You'll go far in youtube but you already know it. You didn't improvise, you made a "business plan" and it shows. A tip, you'll have to go to Villa Crespi eventually.

[@DouglasJWalker]

This channel is becoming addictive.

[@yonatanben-chaim9747]

It's very high quality. The only thing that would make it better is if the videos were longer.

[@theodoremason6344]

Very much so

[@alexholiday441]

It really is

[@GrantyGame]

​@@yonatanben-chaim9747no they shouldn't be longer, if u understand how youtube works, avp and and are most important. These videos are perfect length for what they are

[@Goducksgo]

My wife and I had the chance to dine there in 2008. We were 29 years old. Everything was amazing. We toured the wine cellar, sat in the same dining room. We had a 14 course menu with a Super Tuscan flight wine pairing. I even remember that water menu which was incredible. We were there over 4 hours. At the end of the meal, Annie Féolde stopped by our table to chat. Knowing we were from California, and loved Napa Valley, she told us a story about going to Napa, bringing wine and food with her and eating with Robert Mondavi in his dining room. What a story! We left with a bottle of wine signed by her and Giorgio, a box of fine chocolates and a book about three star Michelin restaurants. We spent about $2000 USD on the dinner and we have a story to last a lifetime. I hope to dine there again on our next trip to Italy. We booked our table either 3 or 6 months in advance.

[@robot9295]

amazing

[@roybatty6368]

Great value !

[@joachimbikas880]

Definitely a story worth telling to future generations. Amazing!

[@Foenkelito]

I would love it if these become more in-depth, talking about the different cooking techniques and what you would possibly do differently or why the flavors match so well. Love all the videos so far, very underrated channel!

[@RylHango]

Food and flavors can be matched or exceeded by other restaurants, but the history, background, service, and setting are more unique qualities

[@alexandertheguest]

Correction: The first vintage of Sassicaia was 1968, not 1872. Sorry for the mistake. 🙏

[@charliesargent6225]

OMG, you need to be imprisoned immediately.

[@mhartan]

This is a great choice for a video and spot on. On honeymoon, I went to Enoteca Pinchiori in 1987, and it was wonderful, and as described here. We had a fantastic medieval (or Renaissance?) tasting menu. I remember an extraordinary consomme with a poached egg as one on the best dishes I have ever had. So simple but exquisite. Funnily, it was the first time I encountered a motion detecting faucet. The maitre d' was so charming when he saw me come out of the restroom with a puzzled look on my face.

[@lox5962]

I’ve just binged all of your videos and subscribed. Thank you for taking us with you to restaurants I can only dream about. Your objectivity and professionalism is very refreshing. Your love of food shines through.

[@zippydogthemisanthrope483]

I was waiting for you to do this restaurant, it was the first 3 star restaurant that I had visited and to me still the best. In 2005 they offered a pairing that was €10,000; unfortunately, my wife would allow me to order it 😢.

[@StCreed]

We have a car that is less expensive :)

[@toddstefan2169]

Loving the channel.

[@markperekhodnik5596]

i was 1st

[@dmitryribchiuk8045]

as a person who spends a lot of time and energy to travel around the world visiting famous restaurants and drinking special wines I must say. At the end of every video I have tears on my eyes

[@floydvl9999]

Florence has to be one of my favourite cities in the world. The production quality of this videos is so good too. Small details like the number of bottles of wine stacking up to over the height of mount Etna ten times just make this video even better.

[@udaynautiyal9376]

Food cost like 200 bucks, meanwhile the whopping 200 ml of wine - $$$$$$$

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Great video - keep them coming! Just one thing: the first vintage of Sassicaia was 1968 - 1872 Sassicaia doesn’t exist.

[@alexandertheguest]

thanks for the information. we write the correction to the top comment.

[@simonov_spas]

I and my wife went there two nights in a row because it was that good...food, service...and get this, we don't drink 😂 I am sure they never thought this would happen but the second night they sent our way all desserts as a compliment. At that time, there were 6 in total so we had a good laugh and a very delicious ending 🤣 But yes, it is 100% amazing...the wine list was the size of encyclopedia Britannica (the paper form) 😂

[@parth8145]

love how he is honest with his reviews. Great show

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

customer- I'd like to see your wine menu please Enoteca Pinchiorri- *hands you an encyclopedia* customer- 🤯

[@senderupwords7720]

Your channel is DYNAMITE. My taste buds live vicariously though you. THANK YOU and keep up the great work!

[@xZuunes]

This channel has quickly become one of my favourites. Thank you Alexander.

[@Cyapow]

I doubt I'd like much of the food and I don't drink but I can't help but watch your videos as all these places look incredible.

[@MrSamrchds]

Nevermind the wine bottles reaching more than 10x the height of Mt. Etna. It's FAR more impressive to say that they would reach more than 2.5x the height of Mt. EVEREST!!!

[@melonand_melons]

Me: "I would like some wine." Waiter: "Sure!" **Brings an entire ENCYCLOPEDIA**

[@robertorganism]

I would love to see that handwritten winelist you got from the sommelier!

[@kamuymamushi5877]

I remembered this was the Restaurant where Iron Chef Japan Masahiko Kobe used to be

[@auadisassyrian3721]

This channel is perfect after a long day for relaxation

[@MrDimigof]

a shame you haven"'t been to Belgium..

[@Djm8520]

👍 One of the world’s great restaurant cities.

[@jwkayk360]

This place did a killer job presenting.. wow. the plates they used made each course look even better. well done

[@thre4087]

Love your high quality vids, think I really found a gem here ^^

[@coopertaylor8386]

Best new channel I’ve discovered in the last 12 months. Delightful content time after time.

[@PKINGU]

Whenever I wanna eat normal ass food I can watch these vids and pretend I’m eating some next level boujee comida

[@beauranheim8694]

Wish we could have had a drink when you were in NYC. It will be interesting to see what you think of the standard 3 stars here. Brooklyn Fare would be worth the revisit.

[@heradsinn]

One of my all time favourite restaurants, I haven’t been in almost 10 years! I’m very happy to see they’re still keeping excellent quality.

[@dhtheking]

I’m so poor but I love watching this videos it’s motivating me to get rich and try this life thank you for your videos

[@ReaperOfSouls83]

luxury in Italy never disappoints

[@monto39]

Outstanding!! I love that they have a specialty water program. The best chef I worked for ended up opening a restaurant in Baja California (Aqua by Larbhi) where they have a list with over 100 selections of water (one offering is sourced from deep underground aquifers, fed by glaciers that had been previously frozen for millennia - one symptom of global warming). Another is at near full saturation with oxygen - giving the drinker an odd inebriation.

[@joewilliams8286]

Simply please don’t stop doing this Alexander, such a great insight and presented so elegantly… My thanks to you and your team

[@gilbydog7350]

This restaurant is out of this world in a beautiful, classic way.

[@gujuriddler9513]

you will come out big, keep up the good work sir

[@pizzakarton468]

the animations at sec 43 are really beautiful! props to the motion grahpicer!

[@colmmullins]

Outstanding! I’m going to Sardinia in a few weeks any recommendations? Recently did some Michelean restaurants in Lake Garda !

[@niklastorshagen6365]

Is water menus a thing?

[@jasonkrick1614]

My wife and I have dined here. We didn’t know how ‘exclusive’ this place was. It’s a nice place for dinner. One is there to eat and drink. Not change a car tire. The wine book was surprising as I never encountered a wine list so extensive before. It reminded me of the movie Spy with Melissa McCarthy when she was handed the restaurants wine book. She wanted something with a lot of noise with the consistency of hummus that has been thinned out. Anyway. It was a yummy meal. I think we had a burgundy instead of an Italian wine. The owner was there. Thanked him for the yummy meal. And went back to our hotel to sleep. Never thought of making a mini self documentary about it.

[@dvukovic]

This restaurant is an absolute joke. Even if they had 1* it would be too much, let alone 3*. Michelin Guide isn't reliable source for good restaurants anymore.

[@joebo1072]

Amazing channel. I like everything about it. The video quality, the insights and the host. Thanks for producing these videos :)

[@Digitalcasts]

Another great video Alex, I wonder if in the future you’ll consider the trip to Oceania and have a proper review of our “Hat” system awarded restaurants

[@finnflaer9467]

amazing

[@bigboyasmr365]

God I hope they used a decanter for the Masseto 2016... so young probably needs 1.5-2hr of air to drink properly when you could've just gone for countless 2010 red burgundy i'm sure they had, would've paired masterfully with truffle menu. or 1990's brunello.

[@1-0-9]

great content.

[@albertosegade4502]

Sassicaia 1872??? I think you meant 1972!!! I love your videos for how accurate you are, so I think you should correct this. Sassicaia was not released for the first time in 1968.

[@michalisdemetriou9959]

You are the reason I come back on KZbin! Keep the quality videos coming my man. 👌

[@Monster_Rod]

This channel should have been called "Alexander The Great!" 🤯💯

[@wombaz1145]

I sometimes ask myself why so little Fine Dining Restaurants offer a tea pairing that clears your tongue from the flavours of the last dish and prepare it for the next. I would realy love to see that because it would be a nice experience to be able to fully taste every dish on its own.

[@StCreed]

Indeed. I've been in China quite a few times and they take their tea seriously (the Indians even more). And you can get some amazing teas. I was very impressed with a tea that was a standard green tea but so fragrant it tasted like jasmine tea, except it wasn't. It was just very fragrant. Also quite expensive, at 10 euro per cup. Worth it though :)

[@Chzydawg]

Petrus by the glass? Holy. On the bucket list this one goes.

[@powerseller7906]

Come to us. Similar wine cellar and amazing food. Focus ATELIER in Vitznau/ Switzerland

[@duneytunesy]

The wine selection looked more like a directory, that's amazing.

[@bunbunny8851]

This channel has been really entertaining and interesting! Happy to have found it.

[@abrahamk6734]

1m subs let’s go! In love with channel.

[@ladolcevita7793]

Wowwwwwww amazing I can’t stop watching these videos ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mongotenz6276]

Your content is simply excellent, I can't believe this channel hasn't blown up yet.

[@OfficialRunningTargt]

Hey Alexander, I rarely comment on anything! But I must say you became a real inspiration.

[@markrobinson5780]

Last night I ate a pork pie with piccalilli, paired with a pint of draught Guinness. Total cost £8.40

[@thisisanno]

I notice in many of your amazingly concise and informative videos that you wear jacket and tie. Is this compulsory dress-code in the restaurants or do you just like to dress up when eating out? 😉 I've never worn a jacket and tie just to eat, nor would I to be honest, though I understand the need for smart attire in some establishments.

[@darrenburke9630]

You could visit ten of these 3 star restaurants in different countries and get identical food.there isn't much originality in any of it . gels,sloppy mousses ,high end seafood,endless truffle and rip off wines it's all yawn I'm afraid.gastro pub cuisine destroys high end dining

[@ShrimpBoatTampa]

You should go to Bern's restaurant in Tampa,fl. Largest active wine cellar in the world.

[@bubbathemaster]

it’s great to see non-chef owners with this kind of passion. Your restaurant will probably grow better and better with this rich experience

[@BuddySweyzer]

4:46 Okay, that's not a wine list, that's a wine lexicon

[@rollergaspard1]

I think you are overrating a bit this place And being too kind with them. Ty for your vidéos !

[@tinyadjei5028]

Here I am eating noodles with veggies watching this and pretending that I am there. 😢Take me with you! Please ❤

[@nl7002]

The tie is too much, you overdressed. And that pocket square is screaming 2002.

[@holyone5]

Really loved the video! Just a Question: what Vintage was the Sassicaia from? 6:36

[@simply417guy]

I caught that too and was just getting ready to ask the same question, seeing as how the first vintage of Sass was 1968. The bottle being pulled as he said that was not Sass, but the box next to it was 😊

[@zvonimirleko2131]

Thank you

[@alexg20111]

Just booked a table for this restaurant, after watching the video, for in a couple of weeks time 😊

[@enriquemarcoscollado7663]

This content is amazing sir! Keep it coming brother!

[@ornithoptermum]

sassicaia from 1872? 😂 the first vintage was 1968

[@Ph4ntomChow]

Most interesting series on youtube this year!

[@TheBinu35]

a bit sad abot this video because evyrthing was too fast, not much details. Better video slower about the dish and the wine and the rest were much better I think . But still nice video, thanks

[@sriramcan]

caviar is missing from the menu which is usually part of the tasting offerings

[@Iceman-ly4it]

I really like this channel. keep it up man.

[@CAARaeed]

Did he say €40 for water?! Better be an angel's tears for that price 😂

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

that's nearly $120 million invested into a wine cellar... I want to see it in person

[@camielvandevoorde2286]

Alexander i love you're content!

[@dillanbennison1397]

An amazing series, been loving watching it

[@MansMan42069]

RIP Iron Chef Italian Kobe Masahiko

[@rulogiu]

I think it's the 1st time there isn't even one criticism to the restaurant. I'm very curious about Le Calandre restaurant, probably the only one who can challenge Osteria Francescana in the food pitch.

[@mramaretto114]

Okay this is it, the holy grail of restaurants, the water menu sealed the deal for me

[@antoniorodriguez-yp1rv]

yes, good cellar, but i went to Enoteca 3 years ago and I asked for a Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 1992 to match my scallop ...and they didn't have it ! I had to order instead a Penfolds Block 42 2004

[@LTDLetsPlays]

I bet they got embarrassed about it since it’s a wine they didn’t have and they are known for their wine

[@vrolijk1999]

1968 was the first vintage of Sassicaia right?

[@sIIcAnton]

Thank you very much for the great videos - fantastic content and I am a wine lover as well. I am so curious to know what was hand written on the paper as recommendation... ;-)

[@alexandertheguest]

you can find the list on the community tab. www.youtube.com/@alexandertheguest/community

[@geert574]

Presentation so bad everything looks like skin flakes 😆

[@whyme8848]

The first female 3 Michelin star chef in italy was french😂

[@crimsonDyNaM0]

Better insure that wine cellar before it burns down.

[@kudakwashemwashayenyi4752]

This channel is the best discovery I have ever made on KZbin

[@alexandertheguest]

Thank you!

[@charles1082]

Great video and editing!

[@eliottlaforce-voyer6983]

I thought sassicaia started in 1968.

[@samuelstrachan2726]

I'm sorry... did he say water menu? 5:30

[@marstrux7201]

I read well? All wines total 100 milions?

[@hottuna2006]

6:31 The only bottle of a 1872 Sassicaia is a fake one since their first bottling wasn't until 1945.

[@alexandertheguest]

We made a mistake. Check the top comment 😊

[@miguelconceicao4766]

I couldn't help to notice but you dine with a tie and a coat. Its a personal taste or do you feel this restaurant lead you to dress that way? Your other guest was only with a coat. In 2023 in a 3 star restaurant do you feel a coat is still the best option? Wouldn't a shirt be enough? Have you been to any restaurant in Portugal ? (not in this series, since we don't have any with 3 stars).

[@alexandertheguest]

It's a personal taste. I have been in Belcanto, but what I really enjoyed the Time Out Market 🥂

[@adrianbaron8033]

Perfect restaurant for Chinese guests!

[@paulstevenson2223]

Your videos are exceptional

[@tommasodecristofaro7864]

So you're going to Enoteca Pinchiorri, you're drinking Masseto and eating some of the best food in Italy.... and you're only allowing just below 8 minutes of a video...
