None of them are better or worse than the others. They are just different. Some people prefer Italian cuisine some people prefer Greek cuisine. And that is good this way.
Italian foods is the most simple and delicious food in the world to me , anyone wanna be a goodcook or tryna impress peoole should cook italian cuisine , its simple , easy , fragrance and delicious , its 1million spices or bunch of garlic , italian doesnt need all that , literally that tells something about italian cuisine
@Panagiotis Papadakos You cannot say for any cuisine that it's better than the other, there is a subjective feeling but all the cooking cultures are unique.
@Panagiotis Papadakos No, you can't. If you take subjective global commercial appeal, Italians win. Everybody has heard about pizza and pasta, less people have heard about Souvlaki or Papoutsakia. That doesn't mean that Pizza is better than Moussaka. I love both equally
@@punisher6001 Greeks have spread all across the world, we have significant Diaspora communities in Europe, North America and Australia. There is no inherent reason why Greek cusines shouldn't be held in the same regard as Italian, French, or even Mexican cusines.
No need for such disagreements. Both Greek and Italian cuisine are incredibly tasty. Huge quantity and quality... So many recipes! Huge love my friend Vincenzo, from a Greek subscriber! 🇬🇷 🇮🇹
I thought I knew Italian food until I was in the Navy and went to Italy. Boy did I get shocked! Food in Italy is so much better than the stuff we have here.
We should have a Master Chef Nonna Edition with participants from all over the world. We would get amazing food, beautiful insights into many countries and have a great time. Simply a great thing for everybody.
I love watching Pastagrannies on youtube 80 and 90 plus years old nonas who makeing food from scratch by herself they would all deserve a spot in a cooking battle and sure they would beat all this fancy chefs who think they can cook italien food because they make it fancy
It would be wonderful to watch, but sadly a network wouldn’t pick it up. Network shows are about conflict and struggle. Nonnas have moved past all that.
@@vincenzosplate oh by the way, I love your channel and have learned a LOT about cooking Italian food the proper way. So thank you for teaching us the correct way from the region you're from!❤
Considered that Ramsey posted a recipe video for Carbonara and put peas and mushrooms in it..... this Italian isn't all that concerned with his opinion.
@@vincenzosplate in any case, I'm glad I find your channel a couple of months ago, thanks to which I learned so much about real Italian cuisine, and that it is so dietary. I also try sometimes to cook according to your recipes, although it is difficult to find ingredients in my country. from Russia with love.
@@dropthehammer1360 I didn't said that. I just said that every food has its own specialty and taste but I didn't say that the person who cooks shouldn't be creative
Vincenzo, you are so correct. You can’t compare one cuisine to another. Maybe your palate prefers certain flavors over others, but that doesn’t mean it’s better. It just means it’s flavors you prefer. High five for making this clarification for people.
I so so agree Vincenzo. Both cuisines are incredibly and uniquely delicious. But unfortunately, it's also true that our (greek) cuisine is underestimated and I believe this is because Greek cuisine has never been as fancy or gourmet as Italian or French. There have been some steps towards that over the past 2 decades, though. Buon Anno from Greece!
I love this more philosophical and academic type of video. What is tradition? What is the core property of a recipe? Professor Vincenzo putting down some knowledge!
Respect to you Vince ! You described it well. As a Greek i feel the same thing about Greek couzina ! Ppl thinks it’s all about souvlaki and tzatziki. It’s so much more. Classic authentic no complicated dishes organic and tastefully. Traditional !
@@vincenzosplate you should definitely do a "Italian chef tastes food from other countries" series if you travel again soon, if you go to Greece again you have to try food from Crete and from mainland Greece up in the mountains
I love Italian food, from pasta to tiramisu. I've tried some Greek foods too, but still a few (will try to eat more if this damn pandemic ends). Both cuisines have unique characteristics and are both equally healthy. So it's pointless to compare Greek and Italian foods.
Absolutely! Both cuisines are incredible in their own unique ways. Greetings to you from Vincenzo's Plate in Italy! 🇮🇹🇬🇷 Keep enjoying the delicious flavors of both Italian and Greek food!
Let us say that Greeks have more manners and respect than to bore us bragging about how great Greek cooking is. My first husband was Italian, as I am. He and his mother BORED THE HELL OUT OF THE FAMILY WITH THEIR EVER LASTING BRAGGING ABOUT HOW GREAT ITALIAN FOOD IS. Well becausecof my food allergies, I was allergic to flour and my throat would close up with a laryngospasm. No air was getting in or out. I needed an epi pen! My cousins are Greek. It is delicious. Both Italians and Greek have certain similarities especially southern (Sicilian ( and greek--lamb, garlic, lemon, eggplant, etc. The healthiest option for me is my second husband's cuisine. He comes from Sweden and the ingredients are basic and healthy. I have lost weight because we eat so much fish. One thing I appreciate is that Swedes are quiet, respectful and have enough BRAINS NOT TO PUSH THEIR COOKING DOWN YOUR THROAT. THEY ARE A LOT QUIETER THAN ITALIANS. EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO EAT WHAT TGRY LIKE WITHOUT ARGUMENTATIVE PEOPLE TURNING THE DINING ROOM TABLE INTO A BATTLE ZONE EXPECTING EVERYBODY TO WORSHIP THE CHEF'S CULINARY SKILLS, --OR LACK OF THEM. That is my Italian mother. SHE IS SO NARCISSTIC SHE DEMANDS PRAISE FOR cooking nobody wants cause they prefer American food
Thanks for your comment! We appreciate your opinion, and we'll keep working hard to provide authentic Italian recipes. We're happy to hear that you've found a cuisine that suits your needs. Have a great day! 😊👨🍳🍝
I'm greek living in Athens, and i believe the greek cuisine is the best in the world , but italian is almost equal and i love it . Ciao Vincenzo i am big fan of your channel !!
Yes! There are great things about every type of cuisine! I also think it’s a matter of preference as well. By the way, Sebastian is so adorable! Love seeing him in your videos. So precious!
@@tabularasa0606 don't. You're just thinking about the fake food that gets pushed in most of the world (and even within our own country unfortunately)... New England clam chowder, lobster with melted butter, Maryland crabs, crawfish boils, jambalaya, etouffe, beignets, brisket bbq, pulled pork bbq, bbq ribs, tex-mex, NY pizza, wild rice porridge, key lime cheesecake, blueberry pie from Maine, Philly cheese steak, chilli (regional), etc, etc
Great reply! Both cuisines are awesome. What many people don't realise is how diverse Greek cuisine is though, on a very different level than Italian, because it combines mediterranean, western/French, middle-eastern/anatolian and balkan elements. And somehow all is fused into one.
Vincenzo, i am greek and i recently visited Rome! Oh, mamma Mia!!!! Oh my, what an experience that was! I fell in love with Italy! I came back home and i am trying to follow as many italian recipes as possible!first time i tried burrata!!! Burrata is a reason to stay in Italy forever! I can't agree more with you! After all, as many italians were saying to me :una fatsa, una ratsa!
Thank you for sharing your experience, my friend! I'm thrilled you fell in love with Italy and burrata. 🇮🇹🧀 Keep trying those Italian recipes and bring a little bit of Italy to your home! 😋🍝
Hey chef, relax he is only picking on him,I am greek and chef as well and I love Italian food,I even work in an Italian restaurant because of it and I don't compare both cuisines simply because they are almost the same and the one completes the other,chill
Good points there, Vincenzo!😄 I like you, I follow you and Gordon! May be he had one too many)))…. One thing for sure; Greek and Italian cuisines are The Top! Especially their regional cuisines!
So this is the reason why Gordon Ramsay made Carbonara, Gnocchi bad on purpose just to convince everyone that Greek food is better than Italian food. But TBH both are amazing.
What you said is 100% correct. In each country there is good and bad food not specifically bad it is just food that isn't cooked the right way this is why it doesn't taste good .
Ive been in Calabria and the food was so familiar with here in Hellas(Greece),same ingredients,same passion and same simplicity.. Both cuisins are TOP and i think they are the best in the world..
Push Green Peas Gordon in the water. I like Greek and Italian cuisine. I am wondering if he can cook Greek dishes.. Does he also put green peas in them. Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your great video with us. Greetings to Suzanne, to Sebastian, to your families in Australia and in Italy and to you from the Swiss Kitchen Dummy.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I do like to add the Turkish cuisine as well. However, nothing beats authentic Italian food if it comes to my taste buds. Like you, I love Mediterranean cuisine in general though. Lebanese food is awesome. I am glad someone finally mentioned it. Awesome, awesome food.
Vincenzo! You revealed the secret! Now we want to see you dig into some legit, high-end Japanese food with a proper Japanese chef. No Americanized sushi! 🍣 (And I say that as a lover of American sushi lol)
I’ll happily devour some supermarket sushi. The market near my house actually makes some good stuff. I do, however, recognize that it’s not as good as the real stuff.
@@ImInLoveWithBulla Oh me too! But Vincenzo is all about authenticity - and honestly I'd love to see him go beyond sushi to some sort of elevated Japanese cuisine like kaiseki. He's done travel videos in Japan but I'd love to see him dive into the precision of traditional Japanese technique from his vantage point in traditional Italian food.
The only thing to remember is. Whether you go to a Greek house or an Italian house for a meal, is you will be fed and the food will be good and so will the company and they will both be very hospitable towards you.. Anything else is a bonus.
I agree with you. Before you get creative, learn the ground rules. I think that is true in any area, also in Italian cooking. When you know the ground recepie and why it’s made so, then you can be creative. ☺
I love both cuisines becauce Mediterranean people know how to make the best out of the purest ingredients of nature. I'm Greek by the way and I could easily eat italian food every day as well 😉
I agree with changing the name to match the change -- "mushroom carbonara" or something. For me, I make "carbonara", but use grated parm instead of pecorino, because I simply can't buy pecorino or have it delivered. I still call it carbonara, but recognize that it's not perfect.
that's completely ok if you use Parmigiano instead of Pecorino, I know that pecorino is not easily available everywhere! The important thing is that you use the right technique!
Im Greek and i love Greek cuisine but ive been eating it all my life.. For me anything foreign tastes better.. Italian poveri dishes are TOP OF THE TOP just amazing. Very similar in cooking philosophy to Greek but also different. Vincenzo thanks for the great video man and nice to explain these things because people tend to generalize a lot
This guy knows a lot. Im greek and it is true even in greece we have so many different variations of popular foods based on where is made. Different places have different ways of prepearing dishes
Addendum: Later in the video you will say that you can not compare the kitchens in the regions of Italy. I agree with you 1000%! The elegant cuisines of Venice and Milan, Florence are completely different from the peasant cuisine of Rome. This is very different from what is consumed in the Mezzogiorno or South Tyrol.
@@vincenzosplate I now know that you ignore wishes for dishes. But to show that Italy already has very special dishes to offer beyond Mac & Cheese, how about one of your clips: CIMA DI RAPA WITH PASTA "ORECCHIETTE" - ORIGINAL FROM PUGLIA. I first ate this here in an Italian restaurant many years ago. The owner, however, was from Calabria, not Puglia.
A doctor once told me: " If you want diabetes and cholesterol, eat Italian food. If you want to be healthy, eat Greek and Japanese food". A friend of mine had a gastric bypass surgery to lose weight and everything she ate made her sick. I made a Greek soup and she felt immediate relief and loved the taste. She said "I'm full, but I don't feel any discomfort and, it's very gentle on my stomach.." And I filled a Tupperware and gave it to ger to take Home.
As a Greek I can say that both cuisines are very good. The difference is that the Italian one is more promoted and the Greek one a bit underrated. But as someone who has tried both many times,i can say they are both very good.
You're absolutely right! 🇬🇷🇮🇹 Greek cuisine is a hidden gem that deserves more love. But hey, let's appreciate the beauty of both! Food brings people together no matter where it's from. 🍽️❤️
As a Greek I love both. And it is very hard to say one is better than the other. From Spain to Greece the cuisine comes with the culture and climate. But even if Greeks invented pizza, as some say, Italian perfected it. Italian pasta especially from various regions of Italy is amazing. The style and presentation is beautiful. IDK I think it is silly to say one is better than another other. There are so many flavours in the world.
As a Greek, who cooks eight international cuisines, I can safely say that Greek cuisine is the best in terms of quality, health and taste. We are blessed to have the mainland and island regions, thd unique soil, best climate, sun and sea, to produce the best quality of products. Greek cuisine is very ancient and diverse, it goes back thousands of years and every region has its own dishes..from vegetables, to meat, poultry, fish, seafood, fruits, dry nuts, essences, and the Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨✨✨ olive oil 🫒
I live in a Mediterranean country, and I can say that Italian food remains the best of all Mediterranean cuisine, as long as it consists of traditional Italian ingredients and the chef's knowledge of Italian food. This does not mean that all other Mediterranean cuisine is inferior-not at all. But you can never go wrong in an authentic Italian restaurant.
It’s like when you learn a song on an instrument. You have to learn the song as intended by the composer using the techniques and timing as written before for you can play with it. Otherwise you are either disrespecting the song or creating a whole new one. You have to learn the original recipe and technique of a dish as intended before you tweak it.
I agree with all of the points you brought up. I used to love Gordon Ramsay but honestly I've lost my respect for most of these celebrity chefs. Same thing happened with Gordon after watching him mess up pegao, ramen and huevos rancheros (and probably more). I don't expect every single chef to be great at every cuisine. That's impossible. But they should be respectful of EVERY cuisine! They shouldn't spread misinformation. You can't just slap a name on a random recipe. And if it wasn't for channels like your own, I would never even know how wrong they are! That's my beef with most of them.
Vincenzo, it will be my pleasure to help you eat like a local next time you come to Athens. I love Italian food, thats why i follow you. But also i love Greek food that with this i grow up. Come to join together! Wish you all the best, God bless you!
What is your opinion about this?
Greek and Italian food are both great. One shouldn't compare apples to oranges.
Its great Vincenzo
@@bastemantuano2888 I agree with you. You can’t compare two different cuisine.

When Gordon said that, the guy next to him looked like he wanted to throw him off the boat and make him swim to shore
True, Gino was going to have a heart attack
lol 😂
Hahahahaa yes, I think that's exactly what Gino was thinking at that moment
Gordon know 10 % of italian gastronomy.
I'm honestly surprised gino didn't go off on one but think he was in shock
Gordon is correct when he suggests Greek food is underrated. Greek cuisine deserves much more exposure than it currently has
I agree with that!
Greek is highly underrated. I couldn't say better than Italian but by no means worse. All Mediterranean food is amazing.
@@dylanduffy812 a lot of italian food is based on greek one (pizza is inspired from the greek pita, for example), which means both are very good
Deserves? Who make it deserves? The Greeks didn't spread out to the world like the Italians did.

Ive tried both and i agree with gordan. Greek food is far better. But both are better than any food in the world
love your channel... i fed the guys at the fire station where i work with your italian meatballs recipe....absolutely outstanding
Awesome! Thank you!
Vincenzo! You revealed the secret! Now we want to see you dig into some legit, high-end Japanese food with a proper Japanese chef. No Americanized sushi! 🍣 (And I say that as a lover of American sushi lol)
this is a nice challenge!
I’ll happily devour some supermarket sushi. The market near my house actually makes some good stuff. I do, however, recognize that it’s not as good as the real stuff.
@@ImInLoveWithBulla Oh me too! But Vincenzo is all about authenticity - and honestly I'd love to see him go beyond sushi to some sort of elevated Japanese cuisine like kaiseki. He's done travel videos in Japan but I'd love to see him dive into the precision of traditional Japanese technique from his vantage point in traditional Italian food.
The only thing to remember is. Whether you go to a Greek house or an Italian house for a meal, is you will be fed and the food will be good and so will the company and they will both be very hospitable towards you.. Anything else is a bonus.
I agree with you. Before you get creative, learn the ground rules. I think that is true in any area, also in Italian cooking. When you know the ground recepie and why it’s made so, then you can be creative. ☺
Love the ouzo, paxamathia, spanikopita, gyros, tzatziki, dolmas, baklava, etc. Why can't we have both and not have to choose?
You can always have both. It all boils down on your preference.
I love both cuisines becauce Mediterranean people know how to make the best out of the purest ingredients of nature. I'm Greek by the way and I could easily eat italian food every day as well 😉
I totally agree! Thank you!
I'm with Vincenzo on this one all Mediterranean cooking rocks.
Thank youuu
Great episode, well said!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so so much my friend!
Both i like Italian and Greek Cuisine especially Italian.
same! Of course I prefer the Italian one 😁

I really agree with you and understand exactly what you are saying 👍🏽you make a good point.
Thank you Adrian! I'm glad you agree with me
Obviously. After watching him making Carbonara I didn't expect something different.
Hahahaha you're right
I agree with changing the name to match the change -- "mushroom carbonara" or something. For me, I make "carbonara", but use grated parm instead of pecorino, because I simply can't buy pecorino or have it delivered. I still call it carbonara, but recognize that it's not perfect.
that's completely ok if you use Parmigiano instead of Pecorino, I know that pecorino is not easily available everywhere! The important thing is that you use the right technique!
Absolutely agree with you! (From Italy)
Thank you a lot!
Vencenzo, I fully understand you point....Don't call something a certain dish, when you change the ingredients and technique by so much.
exactly!
Im Greek and i love Greek cuisine but ive been eating it all my life.. For me anything foreign tastes better.. Italian poveri dishes are TOP OF THE TOP just amazing. Very similar in cooking philosophy to Greek but also different. Vincenzo thanks for the great video man and nice to explain these things because people tend to generalize a lot
This guy knows a lot. Im greek and it is true even in greece we have so many different variations of popular foods based on where is made. Different places have different ways of prepearing dishes
Addendum: Later in the video you will say that you can not compare the kitchens in the regions of Italy. I agree with you 1000%! The elegant cuisines of Venice and Milan, Florence are completely different from the peasant cuisine of Rome. This is very different from what is consumed in the Mezzogiorno or South Tyrol.
exactly!
@@vincenzosplate I now know that you ignore wishes for dishes. But to show that Italy already has very special dishes to offer beyond Mac & Cheese, how about one of your clips: CIMA DI RAPA WITH PASTA "ORECCHIETTE" - ORIGINAL FROM PUGLIA. I first ate this here in an Italian restaurant many years ago. The owner, however, was from Calabria, not Puglia.
A doctor once told me: " If you want diabetes and cholesterol, eat Italian food. If you want to be healthy, eat Greek and Japanese food". A friend of mine had a gastric bypass surgery to lose weight and everything she ate made her sick.
I made a Greek soup and she felt immediate relief and loved the taste. She said "I'm full, but I don't feel any discomfort and, it's very gentle on my stomach.." And I filled a Tupperware and gave it to ger to take Home.
Love you comments on this video, thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻 What do you think about what Gordon said?
As a Greek I can say that both cuisines are very good. The difference is that the Italian one is more promoted and the Greek one a bit underrated.
But as someone who has tried both many times,i can say they are both very good.
You're absolutely right! 🇬🇷🇮🇹 Greek cuisine is a hidden gem that deserves more love. But hey, let's appreciate the beauty of both! Food brings people together no matter where it's from. 🍽️❤️
@@vincenzosplate Fact
🇬🇷 🇮🇹
As a Greek I love both. And it is very hard to say one is better than the other. From Spain to Greece the cuisine comes with the culture and climate. But even if Greeks invented pizza, as some say, Italian perfected it. Italian pasta especially from various regions of Italy is amazing. The style and presentation is beautiful. IDK I think it is silly to say one is better than another other. There are so many flavours in the world.
Vincenzo : travel for food explore
Sebastian: yeeee yeeee
😁😁
It's all down to preference, I do believe he's right. Greek cuisine is incredible.
I did not say that Greek cuisine is not good, but it simply cannot be said that one of the two is better than the other!
As a Greek, who cooks eight international cuisines, I can safely say that Greek cuisine is the best in terms of quality, health and taste. We are blessed to have the mainland and island regions, thd unique soil, best climate, sun and sea, to produce the best quality of products.
Greek cuisine is very ancient and diverse, it goes back thousands of years and every region has its own dishes..from vegetables, to meat, poultry, fish, seafood, fruits, dry nuts, essences, and the Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨✨✨ olive oil 🫒
Since you love Japanese cuisine, take a look at Korean food. Especially Korean BBQ, so very very different from the way Americans handle it.
I'll check it out!
@@vincenzosplate yes absolutely try korean fried chicken too its a game changer
As a Greek I tried Korean bbq. Delicious. Although the kimchi is something that you prolly need to grow up with lol
@@maximusdecimusmeridius1345 Many fermented foods are hard to adjust to if you didn't grow up with them.
A british trying to tell mediterranean countries wich one has the best cuisine 😂
Hahahahah 😁😁
Present Sir.. Always wathching your videos.. From Philippines w/ ♥
Awesome! Thank you!
I live in a Mediterranean country, and I can say that Italian food remains the best of all Mediterranean cuisine, as long as it consists of traditional Italian ingredients and the chef's knowledge of Italian food. This does not mean that all other Mediterranean cuisine is inferior-not at all. But you can never go wrong in an authentic Italian restaurant.
Your English is good chef 👍 loud and clear
Thank you! 😃
It’s like when you learn a song on an instrument. You have to learn the song as intended by the composer using the techniques and timing as written before for you can play with it. Otherwise you are either disrespecting the song or creating a whole new one.
You have to learn the original recipe and technique of a dish as intended before you tweak it.
True ahaha
I agree with all of the points you brought up.
I used to love Gordon Ramsay but honestly I've lost my respect for most of these celebrity chefs. Same thing happened with Gordon after watching him mess up pegao, ramen and huevos rancheros (and probably more).
I don't expect every single chef to be great at every cuisine. That's impossible. But they should be respectful of EVERY cuisine! They shouldn't spread misinformation. You can't just slap a name on a random recipe. And if it wasn't for channels like your own, I would never even know how wrong they are! That's my beef with most of them.
Yeah it's true, why try making a video on italian food without respecting the recipes?
Vincenzo, it will be my pleasure to help you eat like a local next time you come to Athens. I love Italian food, thats why i follow you. But also i love Greek food that with this i grow up. Come to join together! Wish you all the best, God bless you!
