Raise your hands if you also would like to eat Italian after seeing this video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i was already eating Italian food. while watching this.
👋🏻
I love them so happy and funny…👍👍👍
I love how Alessio is so happy to find real Italians in NYC. You can see the joy in his eyes to speak his language
They were probably so surprised to hear a French man speak such fluent Italian!! Well done!
hahahaha LOL
Not really. If you have lived or you are from Europe almost everybody speaks at least 2,3 or more languages. Closest languages like Spanish, Portuguese or Italian are easy to learn and practice. French is a little bit more complicated to speak for the pronunciation but they also do speak Italian, even English and German.
@@kikechiriboga2481 sigh….. will someone tell him…
@@andrewrogers1838 😂😂
@@andrewrogers1838 The bad reputation of French people comes mainly from parisians. They have a reputation of being rude just like New Yorkers. But if you greet them, say at least Bonjour, Parlez vous anglais, italien will have no problem to help you or talk you back in english, Italian or what ever if they know and talk a little bit of the other language. French people in the south they might even talk in italian because they live close to an Italian town and vice versa. French people are more cold even distant in the north. Paris is like another planet to most French people, some of them they don’t like them. But it is just like NY or LA to most rural Americans. Italian people are very warm, talk very fast, very friendly, love to share things that contrast with the shy, introverted, paused way of the French. Plus you have to understand that most European countries have old wounds from old wars and occupations specially from France, Germany and Russia. My wife is from Lithuania and she doesn’t like either Germans or Russians. Doesn’t matter it happened ten, a hundred or five hundred years ago there is always that resentment. It is all over Europe.
Most European people they recognize for example that Italian food is the best even French and Spaniards. They also have great food. But you will never take a word of an Italian or a French in front of each other. They are equally prideful and chauvinistic. Even there is no more frontiers between them.
It warms my heart to see Alessio so genuinely happy
Grazie
Just a guess here but I feel he's most happy when Jessi is at his side, the venue doesn't matter
As an Italian-American born and raised in NYC, I’m so happy to see all these Little Italy videos. So glad you guys had the best time! NYC is such a great city
My father’s parents were immigrants from Sicily. Both of my parents and I were born and raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Little Italy was a large, booming community! Italian immigrants lived and worked together, replicated their way of life- including food, trades, stores- in the Lower East Side of Manhattan! After a few generations, though, people moved into “suburban sprawls” to buy homes, etc. I’m so glad that I caught the tail-end of what was a glorious, authentic, Italian-American immigrant experience! I wish you could have experienced it too, Alessio. It was really, really something special. Glad to see Casa D’Angelo carrying it on.
It is good to hear you talking so positively about ‘southerners’ -for too long in Italy calabrese or Sicilian or apuglian were treated terribly in the north but they are the nicest people !!!
It’s because of the Italian tax system. The north is over taxed and sent to the south. It produces a lot of resentment.
What about Molisians?
This is an exaggeration. My parents are from the South emigrated to the North and no one treated them horribly
@@Ariom76
Good for them, my parents were treated so poorly that as soon as my dad was able to get a transfer. They went back south. My dad was a state employee with a University degree, but he was still considered a " terrone"
@@Chet73
Don't comment on things you know nothing about.
It has nothing to do with the tax system. It had to do with history, how the south was forcibly annexed to the north. It has to do with more than a century of propaganda representing the south as freeloaders. It has to do with more than a century of the North systematically raping the South of its resources and manpower and then blaming the South for its problems. It has to do with the north aiding and abetting the mafia.
I love how Alessio is holding onto "che" instead of saying "that." I think he should keep saying it that way no matter how good his English gets.
My grandma was from Naples. Hearing you talk about it made me so happy!
Both of them just complement each other and they are both respectful of each others options. So refreshing
Alessio allmost shared a tear when he ate the food. His reaction is gold.
His face when he finds his own people is precious
(hears French) "French people, what are you doing in Little Italy?" says the Frenchie speaking Italian in Little Italy! 😉But all jokes aside, the neighborhood next door Nolita (stands for North of Little Italy) as well as SoHo (stands for South of Houston Street) has become a hub for the French community with boutiques and cafes. A Little Paris! Also, you said the Big Boss license plate fits you, but I think the Bada Bing license plate above it fits you more 😂
hahaha this is so true!🤣 maybe we need to visit this little Paris and have Alessio try some delicious French food!
Yes. Little Paris is in Nolita.
You can see how genuinely happy he is to be speaking his mother tongue with strangers in America. 🥰🥰
When Alessio speaks Italian you can hear a strong "friulan" accent😀 🤩
mi fa piacere perche quando vado in Italia mi dicono che ho perso l'accento❤️
@@ThePasinis da milanese te lo confermo, si sente tantissimo!
@@ThePasinis dev’essere stato fortissimo se l’hai "perso” e ancora suoni cosí friulano
Omg please just move here already… our city needs you two 🤌🤌🤌
we thinking about it!
I grew up just outside NYC, learned to cook from my girlfriends Sicilian mother and grandmother. NY Italian cooking is the best!! 👍👍👏👏🙏🙏💖💖💯💯
love this! What was your favorite recipe from the family??
@@ThePasinis The Sunday sauce. I will never eat snails though, as I was given the job of knocking them back into the pot when they were trying to climb out. Yet I have no problem throwing a lobster into a pot of boiling water and eating it. There are just to many recipes and my son wants me to write them down. I told him I will cook the food with them as I don't have amounts. It's taste and a pinch of this and that. The only way to truly cook Italian is to cook with an Italian. I am so glad that I got that chance!!
The glow on your faces during and after your meal speaks volumes!
The North End in Boston (Little Italy) is bigger and has festivals all summer long. The food is excellent. The history is magic. You can visit Paul Revere's house.
SO many people have told us to visit The North End! We have to do it!!
I wouldn't say it's bigger though lol. Still fun ofc. Also Arthur avenue in the Bronx and lots of Brooklyn
Other cities always make it a competition lol. Stop it
Another neighborhood you could visit is Greenwich Village, which is where the British and Irish expat community is located. Tea & Sympathy on Greenwich Ave and 13th Street is an authentic British tea shop and restaurant selling British candies and snacks. You could get a couple British chocolates and snacks and do a vid comparing them to Italian ones! There's also Myers of Keswick which sells meat pies and snacks as well.
What's also strange is that I have friends that are Greek and Middle Eastern; even though I am Italian , people who don't know us assume we are all family because of similar features and coloring. We also get together to cook, and we cook certain recipes with the same ingredients. What was even funnier was my Swedish mother in law gets in act quite well with certain foods
It is not so strange. People think Italians are “white” and “European” like that is supposed to be a definitive distinction that likens all European countries together, but Italy is very much a Mediterranean country, and had a lot of history/trade with the Middle East and Northern Africa. The British isles are going to have more of that northern Viking influence although the Roman influence is definitely there, and they have that cold weather and potatoes culture like a lot of the Northern European states
well it is known that back in the Byzantine area a lot of Nordic warriors did go to Constantinople (Istanbul) to fight as hired man.
Big chance that they would bring there own culture and adopt some of the local culture and brought it back home.
It is like assuming a Danish person could be Swedish. Some countries have close phenotypes and cultural markers.
@@yokoakimura Yeah that's because Italians ARE “white” and “European” and did not only trade or mingle with M.E. and N. African countries but also with Northern Europeans...LEARN SOME HISTORY or stick to Asian history
Yes. You are absolutely right. I noticed something strange though. Because my husband is Swedish, I thought I would take a stab at learning Swedish! I was baking the other day, and without thinking, I started using some food words in Italian aloud and when my mother in law heard me, she understood it when I told her "Cinnamon Roll even though she her Italian is non existent. Latin came into usages in Sweden in the 1600 so I assume Swedish got some of it's root words from Latin
At last we see Alessio saying "delicious" about food! It's so much enjoying than watch him eating disastrous fast food/snacks/sweets from supermarket 🤗 In Alessio's taste we trust :)
Love this vlog. Now I want to eat some Neopolitan food in Little Italy. Thanks for Filming this Outstanding vlog.
Thank you so much! We are so happy you enjoyed it!
It’s such a joy to watch you two! Thank you for sharing yourselves and such positive and fun content 🙏🏼🫶🏼
What I enjoy about your videos is that it seems that Allesio loves America as much as he loves Italy.
I do
Thank you for sharing this glorious experience!!!! I need to go soon. You two are just amazing. ❤❤❤
Grazie Mille❤️
"it's okay, you are American" 😂😂😂
He must've been so happy to find this piece of home
Idk whether or not you're still in NYC or not but the BEST most scrumptious Italian food I ever had was Carmine's in time Square- the food was fantastic- the mozzarella in corozza was outrageously delicious too
ooo thank you for the tip! We've heard great things about Carmines so we are curious to try it!!
Carmines is good but so Americanized. And Times Square is triple the price of everywhere else lol
Well yes- in times Square their prices are inflated but when you're looking to have an amazing meal before/after a Broadway show the convenience of its location is more economical than paying for parking, tipping and a cab
Have you only ever eaten Italian food at Carmine’s ‘cause that’s the only way I could see anyone in the entire tri state area saying they best Italian food they’ve ever had was in Times Square.
@@ThePasinis Chicken scarpariello and the hot antipasti platter are my recs. There's another Carmine's on Boradway at 90th, if you want to not be in a touristy neighborhood. I'd also be curious for you guys to go to Lombardi's Pizza in Soho on Spring St., John's of 12th St (very old restaurant), for fancy treat/occasion Il Cantinori 10th St. which is pretty expensive.
Love this video and glad you found authentic Italian food to enjoy!
Awe Alessio I could see you almost tear up tasting Italy. I feel the same way about Korean food. ❤
I learn so much from watching you both, I love you guys! My family is from Limatola and grandpa Erasmo changed his name to Rocco when he got his citizenship papers. I’m trying to learn Italian because I only know bits from growing up. I want to eventually get dual citizenship!
We moved from Chicago to Franklin, TN and we miss the food in Chicago so much! Whenever we visit we go to as many of our favorite restaurants as we can. Happy to see you all found some amazing food in NY while you were there!
Now I know where to go to eat authentic Italian food in New York! This is awesome guys!
That was a very heart warming video especially at the Naples restaurant!
thank you so much!
Love You and your love for your home 🇮🇹🙏🏼!! Truth on each food tasted, can not wait to go. Keep sharing beautiful Couple 🥰🥰
Good video. I would definately stop @ that restaurant. This is gold. Thank you guys for sharing.
I love watching and supporting your family!! Seeing Alessio in his element is heart warming. Thank you both for abother enjoyable video. 🤍
I'm so glad you loved Little Italy; to me, it's beautiful. I haven't been to Casa di Angelo yet (it used to be my favorite restaurant, Angelo's, but it burned down in 2018.) I heard it reopened under new management and i was disappointed. You made me want to try it! Enjoy the rest of your time here❣️
12:40, thank you?? Common amore!!! Grazie!!! Sei nella piccola 🇮🇹. Blessings guys. ❤
Now I know what I'm having for dinner today, Italian for sure! Everything looked delicious! I'm happy you had a fun visit, great video!
I think you guys just missed The Pasta Queen, she was just visiting NY. Have you watched her? She is fabulous too.
Do bergamo
Thank you for the recommendation. What a gem, can't wait to try next time I'm in NYC.
I love seeing you two so happy :-)
4:36 LOL
The guy looked like you better step aside
So happy Alessio loved the Italian restaurant in Little Italy! love watching you both!
Great series! I feel as if I have been part of the trip too! Thank you for sharing this fun experience!
The genuine happiness in Alessio's eyes were fantastic!
Great trip just seeing that meal where you had such joy best thing ever
You should go to Little Italy in Boston- the North End! Heaven!
What a fun video. I'm so glad Alessio found some real Italian people and food.
That’s so very nice to know that little Italy in New York has authentic food. When I go visit, I will make a point to go to Little Italy. Thank you for sharing this video. Grazie millie.
Alessio's face is all glowing after he met those Italians! It was dark after he was "kicked out" of that store...
Alessio the people from the south bad northern Italians are calling "terroni"...
Jessi you are getting ever more Italianized...
My husbands family's business was at 345 Mulberry St. in the late 1800's - early 1900's. It was Little Italy, but now it's considered Chinatown.
Happy you two had a pleasurable experience in Little Italy and found a good spot! Personally, I’ve never eaten there in my 10+ yrs in NYC. I do love Di Paolo’s though. Will you guys try NY pizza favorites like Scar’s and Robertas? for Napolitan pizza we like Song e Napule, and una pizza napoletana, or maybe ribalta which was where the Euro cup 20/21 festivities took place
Love the sharing of different languages in the beginning ❤
sono brasiliano e parlo italiano...molto bello di guardare americani che sono originati di famiglia italiana parlando italiano e non dimenticando delle sue origini...auguri!
Brought tears to my eyes. My mother was from Naples Italy.
Lovely Italian People !! Lovely Other World Places People !!
You need to go to Little Italy in the Bronx
I like these longer vids. Found you guys on Shorts first and really enjoy your videos so far!~
Little Italy has been eaten by Chinatown. There is only 2 or 3 blocks left, but wow for San Genaro festival - it’s amazing!
I just went here last weekend and it was delicious!!
I was born in little Italy on Mulberry St New York, 66 years ago.. Little Italy, spanned may blocks and now only a few.. it was a wonderful place where italians settled down from Italy.. It was very nice watching your video, Thank You for posting your travels there..by the way, I think you two are wonderful together, you make me laugh..
When I walk along Mulberry Stteet, and I get saddened by how Little Italy has beome tiny Italy.
Im a native New Yorker and have never been there. Thank you for the suggestion❤
Yes, that is the one restaurant we ate at in Little Italy, our first night in nyc! Love! I grew up with an Italian family so I know my Italian food well,❤
How amazing to meet fans on the street in NYC little Italy , I mean what are the odds!?!?
Belisimo! I wish you would have visited a bakery. I was there years ago, and the italian cookies were amazing! Great Video! I Love you both! 💚🤍❤
Take a ride on the ferry over to Staten Island. There’s an excellent Italian spot close by. Pastavino. All homemade pastas and huge wine list. We have tons of amazing restaurants! & the south shore of Staten Island is known as staten Italy lol all the Italians from Brooklyn moved here years ago.
So did the Mafiosos. Everyone in NYC knows this.
Sarò a New York per la prima volta il prossimo weekend e sto annotando tutti i posti dove siete andati.
Voi dovete venire assolutamente a toronto dove c’è una grandissima comunità italiana e dove ci sono dei posti fantastici dove mangiare e anche dove comprare cose italiane. Vi aspettiamo
Ciao Luisa faremo un giro ovunque! cmq per la nostra ricerca stiamo cercando di vedere posti dove nel tempo si sono americanizzati! faremo un altro video dove andiamo in giro negli ristoranti Italiani per vedere qual'e' il migliore! cmq ti ringrazio di questo bellissimo messaggio a presto
I lived in Friuli for 4 years for work. I traveled all over Italy but Friuli is my favorite! I lived in Fontanafredda, loved it there.
You should come to Providence RI, as we have the biggest (per capita) Italian population in the US. I don’t speak Italian, but as a Spanish speaker, I can identify it easily. There’s at least one bakery here were the workers do speak it openly.❤
Do you know a complete low life called Nicholas Calacone from Providence RI?
I love it! Great video! I could hear the collection of “mob hits” playing in the background. I always put on my CD’s when I’m in the mood for some of my family’s homemade Bagna Cauda sauce.
If those restaurants only knew that they were kicking out one of the most famous Italian couples on TH-cam they would have thought twice. Everything delicioso
You have found my favorite place Angelo’s on mulberry street !
Few Italians left in little Italy. Go to the suburbs of NYC.
I first went to Angelo’s in 1982!
Once a guy from Napoli told me "I'm not Italian, I'm Napolitano" and I'm here thinking 🤔 do you believe Napoli is a separate country? You're Napolitano because you're specifically from Napoli but you're Italian. These guys saying a few times they're Napolitano made me think back on it and I wonder if they also see being Napolitano as just that and don't consider themselves Italian. Can anyone explain this, please!
I have Sardinian ancestors but not Italian. The nationality is Italian but the genetics are just Sardinian. I know there are other places like that in Italy but don’t know if Napoli is one of them.
Naples was not part of Italy until recently,(1860s). It, along with Sicily, was under Spanish control for a spell. The Italian Peninsula, as Europe in general, is very regional. People speak in different dialects, and some, like Sicilian, and Sardinian, are definitive languages, which are Latin derived, but not Italian. Napolitanese is quite different from what is spoken in Milan, Florence or Venice.
That waiter sounded very argentine so...almost Italian 😂
Portonos of Italian descent,make up half of the population of Buenos Aires. The present Pope in Rome being one.
Thanks , is beatiful see italians there with competencies who works there.
Il Cortile is amazing too. They'll make anything you want, even if it's not on the menu. But the menu is huge.
Come back to New York for the Feast of San Gennaro and film!! Would love to see you eat all festival foods! ♥
This was a fantastic video!! Have you ever thought about teaming up with Carlo and Sarah, and doing a video similar to this? That would be so cool!
You should visit 'The Pasta Queen' sometimes! She is gorgeous like you two!
We make a sauce for spedini Romano with lemon, garlic, white wine, anchovies and capers. Cut in thick slices.
If you're ever up in New England I definitely recommend Federal Hill in Providence, Rhode Island... No offense to all of the big cities with a "Little Italy" but this tiny state does it the best! 😂
My old neighborhood. Love you guys.
I’ve always wanted to go to Little Italy. Thank you so much for taking us with you!
Come to Boston! The Little Italy is bigger than the one in NY and you will hear Italian for sure.
So true about Napoletani giving up their own bed to their guest while they sleep on the floor. Lovely people.
Thank you for this video! Normally when I visit Little Italy, I only go to Ferrera’s, D’Adosta (I realize I probably misspelled that sorry fellow New Yorkers) and that is it. Most of the menus there are Americanized and it is overpriced (though there is a historic Italian American spot I want to visit-Vincenzo’s and that should be worth it.). But I have been disappointed that I cannot find authentic Italian like I could in Boston’s North End. I am not Italian or Italian American but I have visited Italy and love the real deal food. I am going to stop by that restaurant you tried and give Little Italy another chance. I am sorry you had a rude experience at Allevia. I shopped there once and I did find and the cheese was exceptional and now they are gone (COVID messed them up). However, I like Little Italy and I have some go to’s. Once again, thank you for this video. I am sure it is helpful to me and others watching it
Looks like the BF and I are doing a day trip to NYC to try Casa de Angelo
You two are so adorable! I really enjoy your videos
Thank you so much!!
I wonder if you both would try vastedda at Ferdinando's Focacceria next time you're both in NYC.
More Italian please!!! Love this video so much! 😄
I will have to try Casa D'Angelo.
Street Barkers! The sign of a tourist trap restaurant.
An Italian lesson from new friends,😂🤣
I couldn't get that music out of my head the other day.
This is a great video! It made us plan a trip soon. Thank you!!
I love the new outro music so much better!!
Grazie per avercelo detto❤️
Buonissimo vlog! Grazie per averci fatto conoscere Casa d’Angelo e averci mostrato Little Italy.
So much fun! You two are the cutest!
