Luciano is willing to teach everyone in great detail how his world famous dish is made. He’ll tell you the theory behind it, why he does every step the way he does it. No “secret recipe” bullshit. He’s like “here’s what I do, how I do it and why I do it” and still he confidently and seemingly easily stays the best at it in the world. Absolutely love this: no secrets, all skill.

[@nicholastebbe5835]

It's so altruistic; Why take such a secret to the grave? This is how one lives on

[@kpepperl319]

I feel like his secret is in that thick egg mixture... I don't think it's just eggs

[@queazeproductions]

@@kpepperl319 it's eggs and cheese. He thoroughly explains it in other videos. There's no secrets to this dish, all skill.

Matteo forcing Chris to eat before the carbonara gets cold and Luciano offering a piece of guanciale to Chris warms the cockles of my heart

[@nicholastebbe5835]

Good people

[@wahn10]

It warms the cookies of my frozen heart too.

[@brightshining]

I also love cookies warm.

[@anotherbrick8051]

Cockles sounds like it should be a slang term for balls

[@geoffreyblackmer]

"Until next time!" He says. Oh dear God let this be a thing. Matteo and Luciano cooking together ❤️

[@izzybwood3498]

Matteo being a genuine fanboy is so adorable.

[@CCela1608]

Literally! I've never seen him so nervous, it is very endearing

[@regina_filange2.0]

This was incredible! Luciano seems so cool. What a thoughtful guy. Greeting Mateo outside, being the server, offering the camera operator some food. Best of all, sharing his gift to the world. I'll remember this for a long time!

[@kellybob66]

I love listening to Matteo speak in Italian. He sounds like he's lived his entire life in Italy.

[@docteurmiracle5899]

No he doesn't.

[@deanrogers4999]

I know I'm just projecting, but when Matteo jokingly referred to it as "like going on a first date", I totally viewed the whole video through that lens. And it looks like a successful first date in the freeze frame at the end. 😃

[@hermeticbear]

That is really interesting technique. The whole using the pot of water that's cooking the pasta as a double boiler to help melt the cheese is genius

[@jackstrubbe7608]

Classic chef technique. You learn to streamline everything and waste nothing, especially space! But yeah. Genius!

[@bobwilliam6242]

Many recipes use the technique! Helps thicken sauces 😁

[@jaicabardo4357]

Using the boiling pasta pot as a bain marie is genius! Will try this method the next time I cook carbonara

[@mr7wi]

Was thinking the exact same thing.

[@romirmostopthetime8924]

Provata è bona così!

[@RhubarbPiArt]

Wait this is actually such an amazing culinary resource. Thank you so much for this Matteo and Luciano!!!!!!!

[@RhubarbPiArt]

the use of the egg yolk and constant agitation to emulsify the pasta water and the fat to achieve creaminess, the ensuring of perfect cook by cutting the guanciale after the rendering of the fat, there is SO much valuable technique here!

[@MrGnarlynarz]

I watched this video when you posted it and remembered it when I went to Rome a couple of weeks ago. I coerced my friends into going into Luciano's and eating the Carbonara. 10/10 loved it, really the best carbonara I've ever had! Talked to the host a bit and mentioned you were the reason for the visit, had a fun chat it was great, thanks so much for doing this lol

[@Cr4z33_YT]

Luciano's cooking skill is undoubtfull, but what I love about this man is that he is not worried to show all the tips & tricks of his dishes. I remember he even wrote the Carbonara recipe on his business cards that you can take away when visiting his restaurant.

[@howHumam]

I love Alex, I love Matteo, this is a rare treat. Ive watched Alex evolve, his videos are incredible and teach practical stuff. Matteo cooking is gonzo comedy, he just goes for it. I'm learning but I'm kinda laughing too much to remember.

[@HenkjanDeKaasboer]

Ayo, that's the best kind of learning. When you're making one of the pasta dishes you'll remember there's a way to do it, essentially. And either at that point, or after you failed miserably for the first time, you look up a cooking video and follow it to the letter (/to the word?)

[@ShayanGivehchian]

Yes collab with Alex plz

[@nlbhaduri]

I would love to go with Matteo on a mission all over the map looking for carbonara, tasting the carbonara, talking about the carbonara, drinking the wine with the carbonara….

[@cloud__99]

😂😂 The dream!

[@kevmagill5163]

I don't think I've ever been hungrier than I am from watching this amazing chef prepare real Carbonara....Bellissimo!!

[@senseimilli]

Love how it just ends on a 10-20sec shot freeze frame of you two and his carbonara, really emphasizes the enthusiasm and joy you had being with Luciano 😍 so wholesome. I’d kill to try me a bowl of that!

[@AnythingGeeky]

This is great, you can see how happy and excited you are in every moment of this video

[@vanessawhitneypro]

My favorite pasta dish... When I worked at an Italian restaurant, the chef would make carbonara for the morning staff on weekends... Heaven. Happy New Year, Matteo & Chef Luciano!

[@robertp457]

The filming and editing is so good! I can't wait to make carbonara again.

[@willowtree6487]

I love how his voice changes from speaking English to Italian, it’s so much more melodic.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Matteo, You rock! I love these videos on food in Italy 👏🏽

[@joemalick]

I was just in Italy last summer, and I wish I knew about Luciano back then, that Carbonara looks divine. Definitely writing it down for a future trip! Thanks for sharing Matteo! ❤

[@BrunoBrusantin]

i love watching people i love find out about and experience cool stuff from other people i love. Alex made me put lots of stuff on my wishlist

[@richardneilan2392]

Many thanks, Matteo, for sharing this! Great to see you having so much fun and getting a cooking lesson for myself, too! Wishing you all the very best in 2023! BTW, when can we expect you to do a show in Orlando? If you need a venue you can use my house!

[@gemfem777]

These Italian videos are so perfect! 🥹

[@klyanadkmorr]

OMG thanks, I watch tons of Gordon Ramsey cooking and so just seeing this guy's steps and ingredients and why to rep heat mix sear saute. Looking forward to my own version to eat at home! YUMMY!

[@rjn1124]

Thanks for the shout out to Alex, the French Guy, where I first discovered Luciano's carbonara and have been making it ever since. I've seen him make it in a video by himself (in Italian) and now with you, the third video with him teaching someone else. Every video is slightly different but I really like the chemistry that you have with him and the details here as well as the filming. I think it helps that you speak Italian and I love your comic touch. I learn something new every time I watch him make this. This time he started with larger pieces of guancale, cooked them, and cut them into smaller pieces, and added them back to the pan. It's difficult to get a nice piece of guancale, like in this video, where I live so I have used pancetta, which he mentions (it works), as well as ordering the pork cheeks online and curing them myself. As for the proportions, some of the comments point out the discrepancies in Luciano's various presentations and the recipe card. You just have to experiment and get the hang of it. You'll figure it out. I can't wait to get back to Rome to go to Luciano's restaurant. Hoping that you come to Ft. Lauderdale for a show sometime. Would love to see you. Maybe Rehoboth Beach in the summer, where I spend half the year. All the best.

[@MM-cy1tc]

This video is incredible! So great! I love your videos!

[@adamlewis522]

i flew to Rome from the uk yesterday and my first stop today was Lucianos for lunch, the carbonara was delicious! we were very lucky that we got squeezed in for just 1 hr but if you are going to try this place book ahead. thanks for the recommendation Matteo.

[@iamgazz2756]

I've never had carbonara before because I always thought it had raw eggs in it (watched a bad youtube video), but now I'm on a mission to find good carbonara in my country - or now thanks to this video, I can try make it myself (although I don't know if we can get Guanciale here). South Africa's economy is in the toilet right now, so travelling to Italy is not a luxury we can afford, but Luciano is definitely on my bucket list. Your videos are always addictive to watch.

[@ringosis]

Using pancetta will get you about 70% of the way there and tends to be much cheaper and easier to find than guanciale outside of Italy. You may find you need a tiny bit of butter or olive oil to replace the fat you would have rendered out of the guanciale as pancetta is much leaner.

[@iamgazz2756]

@@ringosis Thanks, I'll give it a try :)

[@eliyanongusa3880]

I was in Rome in November 2022, and made a point to eat at Luciano. It was fabulous. In addition to the carbonara, I can highly recommend the steak tartare starter.

[@BKDAYZ]

Hi Matteo, Hope you read this. We were the couple in front at your Cincinnati show last night. My husband was the guy who kept falling asleep. You were so kind when you found out it was because of a stroke! You asked us how long we were married and how we meet. I told you I meet him when he was a trainer and and that he was a champion kick boxer. You told me that that was hot. Thanks again for your fantastic talent and being a first class human being! Next time you are in Louisville/Indianapolis/Cincinnati we will be first in line. And my husband George promises to be totally awake!!LOL😀😀😍🤗😍

[@mr7wi]

I don’t know which videos I like more - your comedy or your food uploads. Brilliant work.

[@ringosis]

I'm about as obsessed with carbonara as Matteo is ever since I went to Rome as a teenager, discovered carbonara and just ate it at every opportunity I had whenever I was in Italy. I found Luciano's recipe years ago after endlessly trying to replicate what I'd tasted in Rome with "authentic" recipes that never quite got there. Finding him was like the holy grail...this method consistently produces exactly what Roman carbonara tastes like every time. It is perfect. I cannot recommend trying it more.

[@pedromaymi]

Major Flex to have the chef serving you.

[@thatguyyoudontknow]

These are fantastic! I'm good with many things, but my brain doesn't like learning other languages haha.

He's Italian and Mexican and does speak Italian and Spanish.

[@summerpax]

Mattel always makes me want to travel to Italy!

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

It was not too much water because the pasta was still cooking & absorbing plus the evaporation...stir, stir, stir... now dry, add more water, stir more, then at the end add more egg, stir, stir. Fini! It may seem light, but it's a lot richer then you think. It's still heart attack on a plate.

[@matteo5860]

Matteo what was the yellow almost orange egg yolk concoction (I think referred to as the eggs to make the pasta) was this a secret 9:28 ingredient 😮 Side note: I love your videos so much, I could watch you literally walk around and do nothing but talk in New York or Italy and you’re incredibly entertaining. Every time I see you have a new upload I can’t wait to sit and and watch devouring like a bite carbonara 😂 Come to Australia 🇦🇺 HBO give this man a show … a hybrid stand up conedy travel show and cooking show. You’d be amazing.

[@gazzamuso]

I wanted to know this too...I guess it's just egg yolk?

[@keffero]

Yea, just egg yolk. Here in Italy, in basically all supermarkets, you have regular eggs or eggs for pasta (to make egg pasta, not the one to be used in carbonara) which are just regular eggs, but with a brighter yellow egg yolk. Using those, your pasta will taste the same, but it will look better. But don't ask me how they are able to get a chicken to do a yellower egg yolk, because I don't know 😅

[@eggplant9277]

@@keffero egg yolk colour changes depending on what they eat - i think paprika and marigold are common things to feed chickens to get a very yellow or orange yolk
