How to Eat Spaghetti the Italian Way

Many non-Italians love to eat spaghetti but don’t actually know the genuine Italian way to do it. The table etiquettes you must follow are quite simple. First, hands should be kept on the table all throughout the meal, no elbows resting on the table, and never start your meal unless everyone has been served.

Eat your spaghetti with fork only; using a spoon to help you wrap the pasta is considered a bad manner. Never cut the pasta threads. Spaghetti has just the right size and length. Most of us tend to twirl too much pasta on the fork which is a common mistake. If you think it’s too long or too big, drop the fork down and pick up a smaller bunch that can go into your mouth. Observe these table manners and you’ll definitely enjoy a platter of spaghetti the Italian way.
