The Actual Pasta Prince of LA | Street Food Icons

Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, better known as The Prince of Venice, is a man of many titles: heir to the Italian monarchy, “Dancing With The Stars” champion, reality TV host, grandson of the last king of Italy, and most recently, food truck proprietor. Based in Los Angeles, Prince of Venice serves authentic, fresh, restaurant quality pasta dishes out of his food truck.

Emanuele started Prince of Venice after realizing Los Angeles, with its abundance of food trucks, didn’t have one offering fresh pasta. Serving made-to-order pasta dishes tossed in pesto, bucatini, amatriciana, bolognese, cacio e pepe, and pomodoro, the Prince's dishes are influenced by the pasta dishes of Rome, Milian, Naples, Sicily, and of course, Venice.

[filliaa]

This dude was first a prince, then went to exile, then dance on TV, hosted on TV, then run a fresh pasta food truck. His life is wild 😂

[ACEO]

This guy is wealthy n literally just runs his food truck for the passion of his Italian heritage

[Gehtdichgarnichtsan]

I thought he was joking in the beginning when he said his grandpa was the king of Italy.

[dr.darkness]

"Here is your Pasta"
Customer- Thank you, your highness

[mikeserrano]

His neighbor is the Prince of Mexico selling Tacos in his truck

[darko]

His grandfather was the last king of Italy and this dude said “nah man imma go to LA and start a pasta food truck.”

[kxwtquz]

[tommurphy]

This is probably one of the most craziest stories on munchies

[TheWutangclan]

This man got fed with a silver spoon throughout his life and now he's serving everyone with a silver spoon.

I love how half the comments are people gushing over an actual prince having a real job and the other half are Italians trashing him and his family. lol.

[mprador]

He said. The name is unoriginal. My grandfather THE KING gave it to me. It's my title 😳. Damn! This is a supercool story. And by the looks of it. Legit street food!
Fresh pasta on the street. Genius!

[PejorativeDaedal]

a legit royalty serving you fresh pasta off a foodtruck? *priceless*

[tessaroth]

I studied in Italy for a year and I came back to L.A and the food is something I could not get over. And now this prince has brought me this small treasure.

[dannyfittv]

He is the most down to earth prince I've ever seen. Its rare to see people like him nowadays. Huge history and upmost respect in his ancestors but yet wants to be around people and produce food with love and passion.

Guys, I’m from Italy and believe me, this is a delicacy that is not as common as you’d think... people don’t go around making fresh pasta everyday, and they sure don’t know how to make it THAT good... most Italian recipes are made of just a few ingredients, and making them taste good is something that you can easily learn, but making them taste and look amazing is something else... I would LOVE to have a good truck that sells fresh pasta near my home, it’s like your grandma is cooking lunch for you everyday...
