Fettuccine Alfredo from L’Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante formerly at Epcot

Indulge in creamy Alfredo with this arcgive recipe.

Epcot’s signature Italian restaurant is now Tutto Italia. But L’Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante held that position at Epcot’s Italy Pavilion early on. L’Originale Alfredo closed in 2007, the same year we shared this recipe with readers of the Orlando Sentinel’s Cooking & Eating section.
