AL Pacino Favorite Pasta Spaghetti Aglio Olio

 

AL PACINO

"His FAVORITE PASTA"

SPAGHETTI AGLI OLIO

RECIPE

The One DISH AL PACINO CAN'T REFUSE

Al Pacino is a Big Fan of a Pasta Dish called Spaghetti Aglio Olio. It’s a Neapolitan dish that features spaghetti noodles, good olive oil, lots of garlic and red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. It goes without saying the pasta dish and the Scarface star have been linked together a lot in recent history. 

In 2015, New York’s iconic Serafina restaurant posted on Twitter that they “Love” Pacino, noting how they have a dish called Spaghetti Aglio & Olio “Al Pacino.” That dish is still exists with that incredible name on the current Serafina menu.

Al Pacino’s love of spaghetti aglio e olio also came up in Daniel Bellino Zwicke’s POSITANO The AMALFI COAST - Travel Guide Cookbook. “When I was the wine director at Barbetta Ristorante in New York City, whenever Al came into the restaurant, he would often ask if we could make him a plate as it wasn’t on the menu,” Zwicke wrote. “Al literally made us an offer we couldn’t refuse, naturally we didn’t, and we always gave Mr. Pacino a plate of his beloved Spaghetti Aglio e Olio , just the way he liked it. You’re welcome Al.”
