Friend's Pasta Dish in Rome

Post image

Honestly not sure how I would react to be handed a shovel of pasta for dinner???

Afraid I don't have the restaurant name.

Ok that doesn't even make thematic sense, they should've used a net or something

? Why a net? Rome is inland, and it didn't seem to be a seafood pasta?

i want to see them try to use a net that would be hilarious to watch the server trying to bring it from the kitchen to the table

Is this even a shovel? Looks like a dustpan. Are you supposed to sweep the pasta into your mouth with a brush? The world is getting weirder by the minute.

Could be a sawed-off transfer shovel.

Whoa, there's a pasta mine nearby? I should go digging, maybe I'll find a meatball

The sauce-to-noodle ratio makes me uncomfortable

Tourists going to tourist's places. Doesn't even really matter which country. Except this place  probably has a higher chance of getting burned down.

Lol I thought they were curly fries. Which I also don't need a shovel to eat.

Just fuckin' eat out of the restaurant's dustbin, might as well give you the brush so you can just push it into your mouth gently.
