She describes the chocolate and pistachio flavours: "scuro come la terra e verde come i prati"... It's amazing how Italians casually speak like poets. So much passion for their everyday lives!

[@QuincyQ]

Lucas is such an amazing, sincere and loving host. Love how even if there is language barrier you can see how both Lucas and Maria relate so well together with their appreciation of food. Now I want gelato!

[@aristotelsb8874]

The part where he was slowly bringing the spatula to his mouth and waiting for her allowance was hilarious

[@wiene03rg]

🤣🤣

[@Patrick3183]

Allowance isn’t the right word

[@juandenz2008]

Thankyou Maria ! Also Italian is such a lovely language to listen too !

[@matlit1859]

Man Lucas’s reaction when the gelato came out seemed so genuine. Man I’d be excited for gelato too

[@afdhalsoft]

If I worked at the gelato shop, they would not have any gelato left to sell 😂

I smoked some of it

[@dosstv6395]

@@JohnWhite-uo3tf nothings while this thinking of each food whahah

[@LilliFitness]

Gelateria. Its the word for gelato shop 😊

[@mith2946]

@Nixon E Are you even sure he's Chinese lmao... You sound like a moron.

[@owlversusdove]

love watching lucas' show since he's always so happy

[@TheJensPeeters]

owlversusdove are you just watching the ones where he is happy?

[@dganet]

That was dead cute! The gelato looked delicious too

[@ninyapinya]

Lucas is so adorable in this gelato episode!

[@sittingstill3578]

It’s great to see how her passion became her profession. I felt like the episode should have been longer, perhaps examining why her gelato is so good by going into info about the pistachios or why she uses certain ingredients in her chocolate gelato. I’ve had gelato around the world but never had any that surpassed my top ice creams. This has surprised me because in every food show examining it it is proclaimed as superior in every way. My take is that I have yet to experience good gelato or it’s just that once it hit US shores, ice cream makers upped their game. I’m curious what others have found. Thanks for a great video though this one would have benefited from being in the older style of taste testing and giving analysis and background.

[@GCOSBenbow]

The main difference is texture. The egg yolks and rapid stirring of ice cream make it much fluffier but thicker. Gelato is more dense but has a much silkier texture imo; also the flavour tends to blend much better.

[@brasilnovo535]

I can't believe how simple and delicious that is going to!! It's so good! I almost may feel the flavour just watching it!!!

[@AllenEv41]

I just started watching Code Black. Awesome cameo Lucas!

[@vardhanadhikari5510]

I miss Rome. Too many good places to eat.

[@kenildoggy]

LOVE Lucas!

[@mavallarino]

What a nice service. Well done. Not many channels are like yours

[@Sakja]

I haven't had Gelato since I moved down south. This made me crave it so intensely. Time to make the ice cream!

[@MaeV808]

😢 Looks so good. I hope all the lil mom and pop shops still thrive after this crisis.

[@toukairin354]

*Lucas arriving at Rome episode: "I can't speak Italian"* *proceeds to understand nearly everything the local people said* U big liar Lucas, u... on another note: a good cup/cone of gelatto in my country would cost nearly 4-5 times the cost of street hawker food here... so it's not dining on a dime here 😥

[@acrnll]

Lucas, I hope you are enjoyin our dishes and our way of doing them. Have a good stay! Ciao!

[@cynyou1]

Last month I had their gelato- so good!

[@saifhadi4705]

Love this!

[@justjacqueline2004]

Just spectacular gelato,when in Rome make a bee line for her outlets particularly in Summer and before lunch.

[@sarahr7890]

We get Lucas plus an Italian vocabulary lesson! This is the best. (The pistachios in my cupboard are looking a bit lackluster right now, too.)

[@malakib1998]

Love Gelato. My favorites are vanilla, strawberry, tres leches. Haven't eaten it in awhile. So yummy. Rome has authentic Gelato. I would love to one day visit Italy especially Roma/Rome. Ice cream is delicious but one of my personal reasons for loving Gelato is because it melts in my mouth so smoothly, tastes delicious, and the color, texture, flavors are spectacular. Plus, it comes in a super cute little waffle cone or cup for just the perfect taste of indulgence. Gotta try the different flavors. I'm sure most flavors taste just as scrumptious as my personal favorites. So good.

[@adofonconi9753]

Dear Margie, we'd be happy to see you here in rome one day! First rule for turists: you don't ever buy water, they'll rip you off. You refill your single plastic bottle in the nearest fountain every time: it's free, and it's better than bottled water!

[@vfpfootball]

Bet The fresh waffle cones make it smell so good . Simplicity & Passion make a great combo.

[@TheGreatestTyrone]

2:15 "Milk powder" 😂😂😂😂

[@mfiorito5550]

Milk powder is great to add to gelato - it adds the milk proteins with out the extra water.

[@KindaMaria]

Omg I love pistachio gelato 😭😭

[@abelcampos4400]

Que belleza de mujer, su voz es refrescante cómo su gelato 🍧 gracias

Really cool vid.

[@mariapaz6379]

Chocolate and pistachio are my favorite too 💕💕

[@Jgarcia2320]

Awesome!

[@josh2045]

Best I have had in Rome was at Giolitti. Pistachio and Vanilla first double, hazelnut and chocolate second, coffee and vanilla 😋

[@Ardyen317]

She could melt the gelato with her smile!

[@anitahidayah2138]

Om Lucas kereeenn.. ke indonesia donk om...

[@rahelpetranemeth9214]

Hi, Can you help me what is the type of the grinder which made the pistachio paste? I've tried to make pastes with my coffee grinder but it's to small. :)

[@solidkingcobra]

what a charming person. and the gellato lady ain't that bad either!

[@manharbenrajput5691]

I want to know any type of assence add in geloto?

[@nokoolaid]

You pronounced her last name correctly. Cool. My last name is Lagnese, which was L'Agnese. I wonder if we're related...Probably not. My family is from Vitulaggio, but her Italian is good. I can follow it.

[@dimitriymirovsky]

James Lagnese lol she's italiano of course she speak fluent italiano

[@nokoolaid]

Dimitriy Mirovsky obviously you don’t understand the idea of dialect and individuals pronunciation. She speaks the best Italian that I’ve heard on this segment that Lucas is doing. She pronounces very clearly, not too quickly nor stringing words together excessively. Some dialects of Italian are incomprehensible, at least to me.

[@whoareyou5077]

lagsana

[@mirsad96]

Italian is a beautiful language.

[@LuckyKraanwater]

What kind of machine is she using to grind the pistache @2:29

[@user-rk8ck8zc8g]

The secret in the machines is that they grind, cool and heat all the ingredients

[@sj460162]

I would love to know how to make the vanilla my fathers friend rossi made in southend when I was a child.

[@Rabbittomaru]

_I would like to have a job there too, Lucas_ 🙋❤️🍦

[@sunitaammanna6770]

Ice cream is an all time favourite every one likes .Milk is healthy form of consumable product along with dry fruits and cream manufactured with outmost care and good benefits from the factory.

[@ciisemusse1926]

what is the gelato machine called? name of the machine or manufacturer?

[@user34274]

Love you lucas

[@CocoGras]

This looks like bomb ass gelato. Thank you LKP!!!! (there's so much mediocre gelato in italy! : (

[@benjaminprice3219]

We’re there any eggs? And why the milk powder?

[@TontonHeredero]

[@punk105]

tonton heredero just ice cream, different texture

[@scottsessions3240]

Can you post the recipe?

[@juliea.]

Wow

[@angellover02171]

I wish I knew the flavor of that dark purple gelato is. I wonder if it's really a gelato and not a sorbet.

I love how they are doing this segment internationally can we vote on where he goes next?

[@missdonetime2754]

No eggs added?

Wow. I speak Spanish but I dont speak Italian, but damn I understood almost everything she said without reading the subtitles.

Hello, I am a broadcasting writer for a broadcasting station called tvN in South Korea. The name of the TV program is Choice of seven billion. We are an information entertainment program that shares trends and lifestyles around the world with foreigners. This time, we prepared the theme of "Desserts" I want to introduce this video in our program. I would like to ask if it is possible to use this video after marking the source. If you don't have a reply until the broadcast date, I'll think that it means that I can use the videos. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply and I will explain it in detail. Thank you!

[@suigeneris970]

Did you see that gelato machine she used? 😳 😳😳

[@nickharris2120]

it is weird that the greatest Gelato is in a hot place like italy..I wonder how they made it in ancient times....

[@farhansyahikram7500]

Oh god, i'm drolling.. 😛

[@FacitOmniaVoluntas.]

Farhansyah Ikram drooling*

[@sasori144]

I bought this "gelato" from nofrills once it was such a scam literally just water plus sugar and artificial flavour 😂😂 this seems miles away

[@blobofsadness8301]

That moment when u understand everything she says bc you're italian

[@Ben-yr9jo]

even better: you understand everything because you moved to Italy a year ago and learned italian since then. That feeling just now not needing the subtitles: Priceless.

[@golDroger88]

Gelato is not covered=the gelato is not good. First thing to look at when you try to find good gelato. This gelato is not bad but it could be better. Seed oil and condensed milk?

[@bpksuhadi5677]

Yeah i think it is the best gelato

[@drakota2808]

Before covid 19

[@kinda24]

Gelato isn’t Vegan?

[@deathpyre42]

What's your favorite gelato flavor?

[@ShaunakDe]

deathpyre42 Coffee!

[@Char12403]

cappuccino

[@blastmajaxx4871]

deathpyre42 Pomegranate

[@butsukete1806]

liquirizia

[@paolarosano8051]

Rum and raisins

[@GhostPaprika]

"you may know it as ice cream" saying gelato and ice cream are the same is like saying ice cream and frozen yogurt are the same! which they aren't!

[@GCOSBenbow]

Gelato and ice cream are almost identical. Main differences are egg yolks and stirring speed. Frozen yoghurt and ice cream however are very different.

[@recoil53]

Gelato is a type of ice cream. Also handy shorthand - it's a show about the place. Mostly just leaner, which necessitates the higher serving temp.

[@user-rk8ck8zc8g]

ingredients still ambiguous

[@leandracohen4047]

What kind of gelato is this?? With milk powder and oil??? I don't think it's one of the best. This kind of ingredients are in cheap ice creams you can buy in any shop.

[@pastorofmuppets7654]

you don't become more Italian if you move your hands more.

[@Bitrey]

PastorOfMuppets well... A bit, or I should say _un po'_ 😂

[@leotrost904]

Wait... Am I the only one who noticed she didn't use eggs???

[@pwarelis]

Lucas is a mushroom!

[@Queijo566]

I mean can you guys at least explain what happened to The Meat Show?

[@rmr-wz4sw]

Fifth

[@flee3898]

So without cream n eggs ok gotit

[@Ukraine2011]

-24C? And that's cold? That's an average high temperature in February in Montana 🤔

[@carlo-mariaricci5213]

Guys, guys guys. Good video but massive fail. Rome has some awarded gelato makers that, taking nothing away from Fatamorgana, take the cake time and time over. Artisans who, through the years, have strived for quality and technical sublimation. Good video, as always, but an inaccurate portraiture of what, within the Italian Culinary realm, best stands for.
