Milan, Italy: The Pasta We Waited Three Years For 🍝

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean Europe (Episode 7) How far would you travel for an epic lunch? We went all the way to Milan, just to get Papa Francesco’s famous pasta – a meal that we had anticipated for THREE YEARS. Rewind to 2019, we had just landed in Milan and were working up an appetite for our first authentic Italian dinner as a couple. We’d made a reservation at the popular Papa Francesco’s restaurant, but when we arrived, the language barrier and a convincing host whisked us away and pulled us into the mediocre and deceptive restaurant next door, which was decorated to look exactly like Papa Francesco’s. By the time we realized the error, our dinner was already underway. Fast forward to present day, we made our way BACK to Milan with one sole purpose: to eat from Papa Francesco’s famous wheel of cheese.
