ALFRED'S FETTUCINE
SO YOU'RE GOING TO ROME!
by Calara E. Laughlin
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company
Copyright, 1925 and 1928
Pg. 351:
Most travellers would blush to admit they had been in Rome and had not eaten Alfredo's _fettucine al burro_, a sort of macaroni with butter, which has netted Alfredo both fame and fortune. Alfredo is at 104 Via della Scrofa.
(Movie stars Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford supposedly ate at Alfred's and popularized the dish, also in 1928. The NYPL doesn't have the 1925 book. Who has it?--ed.)
