- Ladies and gentlemen, I am standing here
outside of Fatamorgana Gelato with
a classic Italian dessert, gelato.
You may know it as ice cream.
It is dense and flavorful.
Fatamorgana makes some of the best gelato
in the city, and in all of the country.
It has eight locations in Rome, but right now,
we are going to the source.
We are gonna talk to a woman named Maria Agnese,
who is sort of the gelato whisperer.
She's like the master.
We're gonna go to the production facility right now,
and we're gonna make some of this incredible dessert.
We're headed there now.
And I can't wait.
(grooving electronic music)
So, you were obsessed.
You had an obsession, ever since you were a small child.
Really?
Do you know why?
Where do you think that came from?
Do you have a favorite flavor of gelato, personally?
Yes.
I understood.
(Maria laughs) I understood,
"preparare," and "pistacchio."
And so, that sounds good to me, yes
- Right. - Let's do it.
Yes, please.
They're so nice and purple.
So, it's whole milk.
Oil.
Goes in here?
Okay.
Ah!
Okay, so now tell me what's happening.
It's all mixing.
What happens?
Okay, great.
Take this?
What do I do?
Oh wow, oh.
That is beautiful.
Oh.
And you do the nuts, okay great.
But I do it like this?
Okay.
Spingi, spingi.
Okay.
Can I eat this?
(Maria laughs)
Can I?
I'm the best gelato maker in the world.
You know, it's very cold in here.
(grunts) Grazie.
Okay.
It's time to eat
this gelato.
My hands are freezing.
They're like castanets.
Well, I had, so.
I feel very good right now.
I feel very accomplished.
I feel like you made it very easy for me,
and so, I have to thank you for letting me do this,
and for allowing me to make very good gelato.
I really hope you enjoyed this episode
of Dining on a Dime from Fatamorgana Gelato.
And if you'd like to watch more.
Thank you!
Perfect.
Be honest with me,
am I the best student you've ever had?
(Maria laughs)
What is this?
What is this un po?
Oh, come on.
Can I have a job?
