HISTORY OF ALFREDO DI LELIO CREATOR OF "FETTUCCINE ALL’ALFREDO"
We have the pleasure to inform you about the history of our grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio.
Alfredo di Lelio opened the restaurant “Alfredo” in a local in the center of Rome in 1914, after leaving his first restaurant run by his mother Angelina in Piazza Rosa (Piazza disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna / Sordi). In this local fame spread, first to Rome and then in the world of “fettuccine all’Alfredo”. In 1943, during the war, Di Lelio gave the local to his collaborators.
In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio reopened with his son Armando (Alfredo II) his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30, “Il Vero Alfredo”, which is now managed by his nephews Alfredo (same name of grandfather) and Ines (the same name of his grandmother, wife of Alfredo Di Lelio, who were dedicated to the noodles).
In conclusion, the local Piazza Augusto Imperatore is following the family tradition of Alfredo Di Lelio and his notes noodles (see also the site of “Il Vero Alfredo” info@alfredo-roma.it).
Our restaurant "Il Vero Alfredo" is present in the Register of "Historical shops of excellence" of Roma Capitale.
We must clarify that other restaurants in Rome and in Italy do not belong to the family tradition of "Il Vero Alfredo".

Best regards
Alfredo e Ines Di Lelio
