FETTUCCINI ALFREDO DAY (1914)
About Fettuccini Alfredo Day
From Yesterland. The Story of Fettuccine Alfredo came into being.
Alfredo Di Lelio was a young man with a small restaurant in Rome. In 1914, after his wife Ines gave birth to their first son, she was quite weak and refused to eat. Alfredo decided to prepare a plate of food that would be appealing and nourishing. His simple combination of noodles, cheese and butter—essentially the common Italian dish fettuccine al burro—was such a hit with his wife that she asked him to add it to the restaurant’s menu. There are also accounts that this happened while his wife was still pregnant. That’s how fettuccine all’Alfredo (or simply fettuccine Alfredo) and future restaurateur Alfredo II were both born around the same time.
