Alfredo Di Lelio Il Vero Alfredo Restaurant Fettuccine Rome Italy Postcard

Description: Alfredo Di Lelio Il Vero Alfredo Ristorante Fettuccine Rome Italy Postcard The legend of fettuccine Alfredo began in 1920 at a restaurant in Rome’s Centro Storico near the Tiber River. Alfredo Di Lelio opened Ristorante Alfredo in 1907, and in 1914 his wife felt ill after giving birth. He wanted to find something simple yet nutritious and filling for her. He hand made some fettuccine, the long flat noodles, and combined it with butter and parmesan. It worked. She felt great. So did every other patron who came in and tried it. In 1920, that included Douglas Fairbanks, the swashbuckling American actor who starred in The Mark of Zorro and Robin Hood. He brought his new bride, silent film star Mary Pickford, to Rome for their honeymoon and dined at Alfredo. They loved fettuccine Alfredo so much they returned to the U.S. and raved about it to all their Hollywood friends. Over the next 100-plus years, Hollywood celebrities have beaten a steady path to what is now called Alfredo alla Scrofa, named for the street where it sits.
