As in the emporer is wearing no clothes?
We just had lunch out at Da Fortunato - an excellent restaurant near the Pantheon (recommended by Martin of www.villasitalia.com and we have eaten there before) - and I spent 35 Euro (what is that now, $200?) on pasta with white truffles - and they really had no taste! I have had black truffles on pasta before (this is what I end up eating every meal out in Umbria) and know that taste. I thought the white truffle was supposed to be even more strong of a taste.
The noodles were with butter and then they grated the white truffle onto the pasta - they did this in front of us.
Also, it isn't white - but light brown!
Here is the photo showing the fresh truffle being grated on the pasta.
For dessert, we had "Gelato affogato al caffe" (gelato drowned in coffee - you can also get it drowned in whiskey).
