> Why McDonalds still profitable in Italy and other places famous for great food?

Because McDonalds is cheap, fast, and tastes good. Seems obvious. They haven't sold billions of Big Macs because they taste terrible, no matter how much food snobs would like to pretend otherwise.

Even if you have "great food" sometimes you want a change. Something that might be "great food" to a tourist can be boring to a local.
