According to prehispanic history, Lord Quetzalcoatl gave the recipe of ahuacamolli to the Toltec people (900-1100 AD) and from there, it spread to the rest of Mesoamerica, becoming a common dish to cultures such as Aztec or Maya.
The original guacamole recipe consists of mashed avocados, some minced onion and salt. It has evolved to mashed avocado with onions, chili peppers, olive oil, and other seasonings. It is used as a side dish for dipping with chips, or as a dressing on tacos.
If you don't add too much salt, it should be a healthy food, as avocado and onion together help lowering your bad cholesterol levels, and combined they have some anti-bacterial properties.
And it's good in my opinion!
However, you MUST NOT give any guacamole to your pets, specially cats, dogs [1], cattle, goats, rabbits, rats, birds, fish, and horses, as avocados are deadly toxic to them.

He created a special light dish for his pregnant wife when she could not tolerate heavy tomato sauces. The original Alfredo was egg fettuccine with butter and parmigiano cheese. Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks often stopped into his establishment which in turn attracted other Hollywood actors and the dish was talked about and recreated in America with the addition of heavy cream.

We are the grandchildren of Alfredo Di Lelio (Alfredo and Ines Di Lelio). The story is this.
Alfredo di Lelio opened the restaurant "Alfredo" in Rome nel 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). 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 some of his collaborators.
In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio decided to reopen with his son Armando (Alfredo II) his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 "Il Vero Alfredo", which is now managed by his nephew Alfredo (grandfather of the same name), with the help of his sister Ines (the same name of his grandmother, wife of Alfredo Di Lelio, which were dedicated to the noodles).
In conclusion, the local Piazza Augusto Imperatore is following the family tradition of Alfredo Di Lelio and his noodles.
