The text is an interview with Emmanuel Berto di Savoia, the Prince of Venice, who shares his journey from being a royal in Italy to running a successful food truck in Los Angeles. The Prince of Venice food truck, which he started three years ago, serves fresh Italian handmade pasta using traditional recipes. He emphasizes the importance of quality and authenticity in his food.
Emmanuel talks about his family's history, which dates back to the unification of Italy in 1861. His great-great-grandfather, Victor Emmanuel II, was the first king of Italy. However, due to a 1946 vote, the family was forced into exile. Emmanuel was born in Switzerland and studied in Geneva until he was 30, after which he moved to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, Emmanuel discovered the food truck scene and decided to start his own food truck, serving fresh Italian pasta. The business, named after his title, Prince of Venice, has become a success in Los Angeles and is now well-known for its quality and authenticity. Emmanuel's favorite dish is a pasta made with truffle, a rare and expensive ingredient.
