Artie was smart when ever they came to eat. Since everyone normally eaten for free, he would not let them order from the expensive menu, instead he would throw some scraps together. Lol. He did it all through out the show
So when they (and we) think he's pampering them he's actually giving them whatever he has lying around the kitchen? That's brilliant. Only an insider would spot that.
It’s crazy how they really sell you the fact that Artie and Tony are childhood friends no matter what. The fear that Artie lacks around Tony is so realistic and further solidifies how much they care about each other despite turmoil in a few episodes.
Tony was a little low class in always eating there for free. That bothered me. Not like he drove Artie some business or anything like that Especially Carm the broad who never worked a day in her life
@@ikazukison2 Artie was happy because knew he could cheap out and give them whatever random food he wanted instead of them ordering the most expensive things on the menu and him having to put it on Tony's "tab"
I seriously lose it every time I watch the clip where Artie says, "I got such a deal on this ramlosa!" That "deal" was from Tony, who sold it to Artie for profit, having bought it on faulty credit from the bust-out of the sporting goods store, which was owned by Davey Scatino, who's wife was eating lunch with Carmela at the table he gave the ramlosa to! LMAO!!!
Oh man, this show..even when you think you've picked up on all layers of its writing, you can go back to it an realize you haven't noticed even all the obvious details like this :D
People who are saying this wow, I missed this detail, if you missed this then you probably missed way more than you would think,, how about next time bring your brain cells with you when you watch Sopranos.
I don't know much about the Yakuza, but I do know that they have those giant tattoos that they do with bamboo sticks or some shit. So this is a very astute observation!
HOLY EMPEROR NERON yeah but you fuck up the mafias food, they bust your balls, worst case scenario, you get shot in the foot, whereas you fuck up the yakuzas food or tattoos, you loose two fingers best case scenario.
Anton Boludo Huh, when I was in Japan having a lot of ink would get you turned away from most public springs. They don’t want to attract that particular clientele.
My favorite scene is when Artie shoots the rabbit in his garden eating his herbs and later on when things aren't doing so well he bust out his grandfather's notebook with all his recipes and cooks the rabbit. Artie is a good guy. A dummy, but a good guy.
I personally feel he’s the only true “good” character on the show. It’s a great scene to send him off with as after the rabbit cooking, using his grandfather’s recipe book, he looks happy and content
The Highbury Zone it was a great moment in the show for his character. But Artie was still imperfect. He was never content with what he had - his business, his wife, etc. which makes him maybe more relatable. But he wasn’t exactly “good”. Charmaine seemed to be a much better personal, morally and consistently. Her biggest flaw was making petty comments/starting drama, like the way she would subtly backhand Carmela. “It wasn’t for me” speaking of sex with Tony, just to make one example.
And that’s purely because Artie (the high school star quarterback) was cool without having to be a gangster. He was respected because he was basically a wise guy without having to be a “wise guy”. And he was a good person to his own detriment but a good person none the less. Charismatic. Hospitable. And didn’t take shit from no one.
Honk3n That's because the song used actually fits the tone of the video haha. People always choose the worst songs. Great video! Artie has always been one of my favorite characters. Just good positive vibes, beautiful food, and every scene at Vesuvios is a good one.
+rjcream The name of "the song"???? It's an opera "aria" form the third and last act of Rigoletto from Giuseppe Verdi (1851), the title is "La Donna è Mobile" (Women are mobile, or variable). Damn...dark pits of ignorance.
In season 4, Chris said the way tony eats he will have a heart attack by the time he's fifty. In real life, James gandofini died from a heart attack at 51..
Playing Tony Soprano wasn't good for his health. He had to keep his weight up during that time. He actually lost a good bit of weight when he got a part in The Mexican. But he had to gain it back for the Sopranos. The producers said the look and feel of Tony wasn't right if he was skinnier. Same with Bobby Baccala who was already pretty fat, but wore a fat suit the first two seaons. It just fit the character better. James Gandolfini talked about it a bit when he did the actor's studio.
The food on this series was almost like a character on the show. I've always loved Italian food but the Sopranos really broadened my culinary horizons.
Yes, I have never watched a series so focused on food. According to my Sopranos book, the staff would make a Sunday gravy for a scene or for the crew. Also, the cast usually ate the food on set rather than pretend to chew it lol (like so many other shows do), because it was so good. When T and Puss are eating those huge steaks, they are really devouring them!
I once was an extra for some indie show. I didn't care everyone else was picky. After the shoot was done, I chowed down on like 6 of the salads (from Safeway, iirc). Free food and a paycheck, fuck yeah.
I saw john ventimigila, the actor who played Artie at a mall in Sacramento and I immediately got hungry looking at him trying to buy a watch and I ended up eating at an Italian restaurant for lunch
@@joshn938 Their parents parent (possibly as far back as 70AD) were definitely from Liguria. Likely mariners who when accused of being Genoese said, "No, no, Vintimiggia!"
Thank you for pointing that out lol that momentary pause is brilliant. It's crazy how a show filled with psychopaths and tragedy is so absurdly funny and hilarious.
This dude was always one of my favorite characters. Even after a million watches, his character really made the show better. A normal hard-working guy who was near the connected mobsters but not really into anything heavy. His acting was superb in this role
Artie knew exactly what he was doing and it was brilliant. Preventing them from ordering off the expensive menu, due to their tab probably being in the multiple thousands, and instead passed off scraps as a, "special tasting menu", with fancy verbiage and pseudo excitement. The peppers weren't the only thing marinating for fifteen years. 😂 chefs kiss.
Yeah this is a bad take. It makes no sense. This isn’t preventing them from ordering anything. Plus like the dude said, quail is expensive. These were all extras on top of their normal meals
Artie's technique of serving these special tasting menu would get their bellies full from the moment they arrive and eat a lot of it while talking. This would prevent them from making big meal orders. Of course mob guys are greedy and order expensive items too . That's why they are fat .
Artie is one of the most tragic characters of the series. His food ties together so much of the drama that a Sopranos cookbook actually seems like a great idea.
He has a good ending, though. He finally embraced his true calling in life and stopped comparing his life to Tony and the others. He was happier than any of them in the end.
For those who don't get why Paulie says 'Can I get AIDS from eating this?' in a gay voice at 0:01 - 'fennel' in Italian is 'finocchio', which is also slang for gay, fag etc. He's making 'stuffed with fennel sausage' = 'stuffed with gay cock'. 'Finocchio' is also the root of 'finook', Carmela's favourite word for what Vito turns out to be.
Artie Bucco was one of my favorite characters. The scene with him threatening Tony's life with the deer rifle in the parking lot was so powerful. He was always adjacent to the mob life and it some respects tried to be both in it and outside of it, but ultimately that proved to be impossible.
I seriously fucking gained weight when I got around to watching this series... All the scenes with ziti, lasagna, spaghetti, gabagool, and of course bottle after bottle of wine.
That guy did so much for his "friends", he really took pleasure in seeing people eat his food. Gave them the best he could. Man they didn't deserve Artie.
Brilliant video. Love how hammy Artie is. He's probably the most endearing character on the show. One of my favorite scenes with him outside of him being generally irritating is when he takes out his Grandpa's cook book and makes that rabbit dish after Tony tells him he goes about in pity for himself.
And as a non-swede I can tell you that it is actually a high-end mineral water. Just like the San Pelligrino. But yeah, water tastes like water uless it's gone bad or there is something very wrong with it in the first place.
@@Cardboard_Man If Ramlosa is marketed as a high-end water in your country sure. But it really is not. And def not like San Pelligrino. But maybe that's their strategy abroad. I don't know
@@mdlsvensson Funny because I could say the same about San Pellegrino as an Italian. Tastes good, but still I prefer others. You say high-end natural water.. I can buy one 1,5 l bottle for 1.20 euros in Italy. More than the average 60 cents, but defenitly affordable by everyone. Yet, is sold in New York and Singapore for 300 dollars per bottle in fancy restaurant so... I guess rich people want their own share of fancyness
Beautiful job, perfect ending...music as well. Casting his pearls before swine, under-appreciated. "Thank you (turning toward Tony)...it's nice to be appreciated by your friends".
neil armstrong He is one of Tony's only two genuine and true friends (the other is Silvio), he grew up with him, went with him to same school, then high school, etc... But Tony mainly likes him more than the other guys (even Sil and Chris) because he is outside the mob, in his eyes he is clean and innocent, no chance of him stabbing him in the back, and he genuinely likes Tony and respects him without being forced into doing so or by being a subordinate.
I love how gandolphini acted with the character of Arthur, he made a consious effort to act unthreatend and let his guard down and acted much more personable, just like with the little physical grab at the end and the nice hug from Carm, it illustrated to the audience how smart and loved he really was.
There may have been more charismatic, marquee and even comedic actors on The Sopranos...but Artie honestly was the palate-cleanser all those in the cast. Like SNL's Phil Hartmann, he never commanded top billing...but the show would not have been near as good without him. Artie was the rug in "The Big Lebowski" that tied the room together.
Actually, Artie’s character went to HS with James. And was a chef. He opened a restaurant in Westwood, next to my wife’s store. During the grand opening James showed up. A picture was taken with all three. James came back to autograph it for my wife. Great guy. Still have the photo in a frame.
Artfully edited compilation. You put some thought into this clip package. Thanks for that. Poignant seeing how much joy Artie had brought to his friends with his cooking.
This was so brilliant! You really get a sense of Artie Bucco's genuine love for food and creation. You also get to witness his disappointment that the others don't appreciate what he is trying to share. I'm so hungry right now!
This is America, there's shit food available to the horizon. I ate a tort yesterday, and the primary source of sweetness was peaches and a little honey. Compared to American pastries it was like diet food.
@Jason Voorhees Because it dulls your palette, you become addicted to extreme amounts of sugar, or extreme amounts of salt, and your gut biome becomes accustomed to an excess of carbohydrates. Do you think all that food is made just to get put in trashcans? Nope, all that pre-made shit you see in grocery stores in being eaten alot.
@Jason Voorhees Nah man, it's just observation and a little interest in science. If you eat sugar alot, try substituting it with an orange, and I bet you won't feel satisfied. An orange comes with a ton of fiber, it's not as much of a direct injection of sugar as say a soda pop or snickers bar. We're wired on preservatives, sugars, and salt in this country.
@jasonvoorhees5640 "How exactly does low quality food make your senses dulled?" that's a really stupid question - it could be answered by the most basic research and observation
I always liked Artie's character on this show...His pride in what he does was made it very believable and innocent...Unfortunately he moved in some serious circles that complicated his life...I really miss this show and may James Gandolfini rest in peace.
All things considered, Artie is my favorite character. Just a generally happy, goofy guy. I love the scene when he's winning at Richie's card game: "Santa Maria, YEAH!"
Why does the sopranos make me so hungry every time I see it?! Even when they’re not talking food I think about watching sopranos and having a nice Italian meal.
I personally find Artie very hot. I don't care if he's bald and "old". He may be goofy, but he has heart. When he takes on Chrissie and fesses to Tony about Adriana, I melted. And I loved how Tony strongly reprimands him, but also with heart.
I wish more restaurants had the chef come out to the table like Artie. I can only remember one restaurant a year ago. The female chef brought out some free butter garlic jumbo shrimp. So delicious!
Bruh to all the people saying he was serving them scraps, quail is very expensive, and so is burrata outside of southern italy since it'e the only place where it's made and it has to be eaten at max the day after it's made
Amazingly put together compilation. One of my favorite characters if not my favorite and the way he constantly interrupted everyone to talk about food never failed to get a laugh out of me. Such a believable character, just a goofy dude obsessed with cooking.
Artie makes the most wonderful food and it is largely wasted on these uneducated, lowbrow thugs and their associates. That is the moral of this character's story I think.
@Charles Martel My grandmother Lucia cooked the flowers in egg and breadcrumbs until golden brown. Out of this world! She is deceased now. I still cook them today. MANGIA!
Artie had one of the best arcs in my opinion. He was slowly corrupted by tony and the mob into essentially becoming an associate. It starts off as "oh he's a friend, that clientele is good for business". Till the end where his restaurant is used as a mob front, Artie attempts loansharking and beats a mob guy half to death over a scam. It shows that over time you become your friends.
Artie was smart when ever they came to eat. Since everyone normally eaten for free, he would not let them order from the expensive menu, instead he would throw some scraps together. Lol. He did it all through out the show
Ahaha word. Anyone who worked or dealt with restaurant business spotted that, me included. Hilarious shit.
Bobby Houck my mind has been blown!!
Wow, amazing catch!
So when they (and we) think he's pampering them he's actually giving them whatever he has lying around the kitchen? That's brilliant. Only an insider would spot that.
great observation haha
The crispness of the beans, the smoothness of the cheese.
N. B. It’s hilarious to me how serious he is with his food.
Fresh from Silvios socks.
A lot like life itself
N.B. Qu'est-ce que c'est? Taste buds broken?
His best line
It’s crazy how they really sell you the fact that Artie and Tony are childhood friends no matter what. The fear that Artie lacks around Tony is so realistic and further solidifies how much they care about each other despite turmoil in a few episodes.

@@danski6694 what about the 50 k
He blew up his restaurant
Never forget that Artie once threw food at Tony and later aimed a rifle at Tony in the same season, and remained breathing lol
Tony treated Artie like shit throughout the series, but ok I guess he didn't murder him.
Artie fully aware mobsters don't pay the check: Give me those, I'll make you a special menu.
*Gets some Chef Boyardee and some leftovers*
That says more about the mobs tastelessness than Artie's cleverness.
The mob is crime and doesn’t pay.
I never really got why Tony didn’t pay Artie. They were childhood friends, and Tony is a very wealthy man.
@@wobblesman4316 well hes a gangster. You cant expect them to be morally conscise
All italians are like this not just ones in mafia.I had itallians ordering half of Crosant in the bakery...

Any kind they like
Don't disrespect the pizza parlor
“How fuckim dare you… why are we getting this wine shit art, you KNOW I need me my cherly temple” ~Tony -Artie
Makes you wonder how they even get home with wine in them all the way. Serving them soft drinks in a fine dining restaurant? Tell that to Tony B.

Yeah. Seeing all this crap foo foo food makes me want to eat some real food.

Ever.
He's so well-casted. A friend of mine is a chef at a French restaurant and he gives off the exact same vibe as Artie.
Good for him, he doesn't have to make those pasta dishes 24/7... Italian Americans constantly eat the same dishes and think it's fine dining...
@@m3gAnac0nda no sense changing perfection.

I love it when he’s one of the last to leave Tony’s birthday party… He’s a true friend and a great protagonist in the show
Artie is one of the most tragic characters of the series. His food ties together so much of the drama that a Sopranos cookbook actually seems like a great idea.
There is one! I have one for years!
He has a good ending, though. He finally embraced his true calling in life and stopped comparing his life to Tony and the others. He was happier than any of them in the end.
I started looking up the food they mention on youtube.
There IS a Sopranos cookbook ! It's excellent.
Tragic? He has an incredible transformation, doesn't get whacked, he makes it!
For those who don't get why Paulie says 'Can I get AIDS from eating this?' in a gay voice at 0:01 - 'fennel' in Italian is 'finocchio', which is also slang for gay, fag etc. He's making 'stuffed with fennel sausage' = 'stuffed with gay cock'.

@@mdlsvensson Funny because I could say the same about San Pellegrino as an Italian. Tastes good, but still I prefer others.
You say high-end natural water.. I can buy one 1,5 l bottle for 1.20 euros in Italy. More than the average 60 cents, but defenitly affordable by everyone. Yet, is sold in New York and Singapore for 300 dollars per bottle in fancy restaurant so...
I guess rich people want their own share of fancyness
- "High end water" 🤣🤣🤣. The pretensions of idiots never ceases to amaze me...
Beautiful job, perfect ending...music as well. Casting his pearls before swine, under-appreciated.
"Thank you (turning toward Tony)...it's nice to be appreciated by your friends".
A very eloquent comment right there.
+Nun Ya Then the ass grab by Tony haha
@@ThomTron the sacred AND the propane (I know it's a six year old comment but it was begging for this quote)
3:00 "Oh the sensitive chef!" I like how Tony gooses Artie there 180 no-scope style
always thought that artie was gonna get whacked at some point during the show
Why would he ever get whacked? 😀 he's a chef
neil armstrong He is one of Tony's only two genuine and true friends (the other is Silvio), he grew up with him, went with him to same school, then high school, etc... But Tony mainly likes him more than the other guys (even Sil and Chris) because he is outside the mob, in his eyes he is clean and innocent, no chance of him stabbing him in the back, and he genuinely likes Tony and respects him without being forced into doing so or by being a subordinate.
Hey john. Good points.
Sports Bettor didn't think Bobby would either
Right on the money.
I think the appeal of Artie is that he is genuinely passionate about his profession/art. Anyone that passionate about something deserves props.
I love how gandolphini acted with the character of Arthur, he made a consious effort to act unthreatend and let his guard down and acted much more personable, just like with the little physical grab at the end and the nice hug from Carm, it illustrated to the audience how smart and loved he really was.
"the crispness of the beans, the smoothness of the cheese"
I think I almost pissed myself laughing when I first saw that.
***** obviously
It's true though, Burrata cheese is fuckin delicious...it's made from buffalo milk
Mavin Black thanks, I live in the UK so a lot of Italian food is nowhere near as common as I imagine it is in America, so I'll keep a look out.
Mavin Black cause Buffalo are so common in Italy and all.
Super.Chuck yep. We breed 'em like cattle. Their shit don't half stink though
hey, literally first time on da fucking youtube i'm not disgusted with custom background music
Paulie's quote "can I get aids from eating this" was a complete shock! Hahahahaa how well he pulled that gay voice off.
Not bad for a former con! Him and Silvio weren’t really actors before their roles in The Sopranos
@@aldodavila7696 Sirico has been an actor since the 70s!
Aldo Davila Tony Sirico has a long screen history before the Sopranos. He was in a really good movie withJan Michael Vincent.
I like Artie when he is happy and nice
Artie had
beautiful hospitality
a real gentleman
Too bad he doesn't soft drinks of choice.
+Born Again if they gave awards for comments, yours would win the prize. haha.
Beauty
Hahhahaha. There's a reason artie never got run over by a truck
Wasn't the line "shinebox of choice"?
Definitely gonna want something with a little sugar in it.
"It's all about the contrast; the crispness of the beans, the smoothness of the cheese :D"
There may have been more charismatic, marquee and even comedic actors on The Sopranos...but Artie honestly was the palate-cleanser all those in the cast.
Like SNL's Phil Hartmann, he never commanded top billing...but the show would not have been near as good without him. Artie was the rug in "The Big Lebowski" that tied the room together.
Adolescence is thinking you’re Furio. Adulthood is realizing you’re Artie
Actually, Artie’s character went to HS with James. And was a chef. He opened a restaurant in Westwood, next to my wife’s store. During the grand opening James showed up. A picture was taken with all three. James came back to autograph it for my wife. Great guy. Still have the photo in a frame.
Amazing memories! Westwood in CA?
Who's James? Oh I see, your not name dropping him by his full name to sound casual and cool.
@@theodoremason6344 saying you've got a stick up your ass is like saying the ocean is just a bit wet
What? Is he supposed to address him as "Mr. Gandolfini" or something?
"I'm not big on nuts."
I guess this would be Vito's favorite dish then!
Snarky, the Cat nah, his would be the braciole, with cannoli for dessert.
haha Vito's gay
LMAO
OH! You hear what he said? Said I'm not big on nuts, would be Vito's favorite dish then! OH! HA!
I see what you did there 🙄
The only person in the whole show who could say or do anything to Tony and get a pass.
The food on that show was always so good!
Jason Alredge I wonder if it was real & the cast really ate it?
@@calisongbird James Gandolfini actually did (RIP)
Artfully edited compilation. You put some thought into this clip package. Thanks for that. Poignant seeing how much joy Artie had brought to his friends with his cooking.
This was so brilliant! You really get a sense of Artie Bucco's genuine love for food and creation. You also get to witness his disappointment that the others don't appreciate what he is trying to share. I'm so hungry right now!
This is America, there's shit food available to the horizon. I ate a tort yesterday, and the primary source of sweetness was peaches and a little honey. Compared to American pastries it was like diet food.
@Jason Voorhees It's hard to appreciate quality food when you live in a society flooded with preservative filled crap, your senses become dulled.
@Jason Voorhees Because it dulls your palette, you become addicted to extreme amounts of sugar, or extreme amounts of salt, and your gut biome becomes accustomed to an excess of carbohydrates. Do you think all that food is made just to get put in trashcans? Nope, all that pre-made shit you see in grocery stores in being eaten alot.
@Jason Voorhees Nah man, it's just observation and a little interest in science. If you eat sugar alot, try substituting it with an orange, and I bet you won't feel satisfied. An orange comes with a ton of fiber, it's not as much of a direct injection of sugar as say a soda pop or snickers bar. We're wired on preservatives, sugars, and salt in this country.
@jasonvoorhees5640 "How exactly does low quality food make your senses dulled?"
that's a really stupid question - it could be answered by the most basic research and observation
1:57 Artie being cheesed off that Janice inadvertently ruined his scheme of giving them cheap wine since Tony isnt going to pay lol
artie is likeable... he's no murderer...
+Elias Ashe-Shoal Except if you are a rabbit that is trying to eat something from his garden then he turns into a killer.
jakep1979 I've always wondered if that was the only real death in the series... and he did smuggle the seeds back from Italy in his shaving kit...
We all want a good friend like Artie
I always liked Artie's character on this show...His pride in what he does was made it very believable and innocent...Unfortunately he moved in some serious circles that complicated his life...I really miss this show and may James Gandolfini rest in peace.
Poor Artie, he didn’t know Tony never had the makings of a culinary connoisseur.
All things considered, Artie is my favorite character. Just a generally happy, goofy guy. I love the scene when he's winning at Richie's card game: "Santa Maria, YEAH!"
2:37 “Great! Go for it.” Cracks me up. Poor Artie’s just trying to be hospitable and these ladies just don’t have the time for it. 😂😭
Why does the sopranos make me so hungry every time I see it?! Even when they’re not talking food I think about watching sopranos and having a nice Italian meal.
Hey man, thanks for doing this.
After I watched this, Artie showed up at my door and stuffed food in my face
One of the best characters. Very special character during all the show
The actor originally auditined to be like the others a mob guy, but Davis Chase didn't see him fitting that role, so he got the chef role
Artie really is an amazing cook in this show, everything he talks about or makes just looks unbelievable
LMAO! He’s always interrupting! Secs later.. comes with a raw fish lol
These actors were all so great omg
I personally find Artie very hot. I don't care if he's bald and "old". He may be goofy, but he has heart. When he takes on Chrissie and fesses to Tony about Adriana, I melted. And I loved how Tony strongly reprimands him, but also with heart.
Well made, Mr Durrant, my good man, very well made indeed
Here, Here!
Thanks Guys!
***** Agreed. Usually don't like it when people mess with the clips, throwing in music and stuff but this was great. Good job man!
I'm glad nothing that bad ever happened to Artie throughout the series.
Aside from getting his ego bruised on several occasions.
He did touch the boiling tomato sauce from Benny
I wish more restaurants had the chef come out to the table like Artie. I can only remember one restaurant a year ago. The female chef brought out some free butter garlic jumbo shrimp. So delicious!
Artie was a great salesman.........presentation is everything.
Artie was a smart dude. Always created his own menu to keep the cost down and made nice with the mob and their family members
wow.... almost didnt realize how subtly hilarious his character was... good edit
Poor, Artie, trying so hard and everyone picks on him, including his wife.
his wife is a Godsend. Dummy
I love the ending where Tony goes " What a sensitive chef", they really were good friends
This guy was hugely underrated as an actor on the show
What a beautiful edit! Puts it all into perspective
Artie was such a nice guy, cared for his friends his wife his career and his restaurant. Got shit on from all angles
Artie angry makes me laugh more than anything Paulie does and I love all the Paulie scenes 😂 1:43
Great video, quite liked Artie as a character
Bruh to all the people saying he was serving them scraps, quail is very expensive, and so is burrata outside of southern italy since it'e the only place where it's made and it has to be eaten at max the day after it's made
THEY DID NOT DESERVE THIS MAN WHAT A TRAGIC CHARACTER
Amazingly put together compilation. One of my favorite characters if not my favorite and the way he constantly interrupted everyone to talk about food never failed to get a laugh out of me. Such a believable character, just a goofy dude obsessed with cooking.
Artie makes the most wonderful food and it is largely wasted on these uneducated, lowbrow thugs and their associates. That is the moral of this character's story I think.
Beau74 and life usually
Beau74 0:47 any idea what the flowers are that he's referring to?
Frank Flynn yeah I found it out. I've been trying to find them but they're crazy hard to get a hold of!
He’s running a nice restaurant. If people like your food they eat there. Nobody pills the cultural or criminal background of restaurant patrons.
@Charles Martel My grandmother Lucia cooked the flowers in egg and breadcrumbs until golden brown. Out of this world! She is deceased now. I still cook them today. MANGIA!
this made me so fucking hungry
ohhh, prince Rogaine over here...
I thought that read “horny” and I was about to reply in agreement
That was best of all your clips...good job on capturing the actor.
I like that Artie lets his guests know that FedEx is his shipping vendor of choice.
I would be honored to have a friend like Artie
Artie had one of the best arcs in my opinion. He was slowly corrupted by tony and the mob into essentially becoming an associate. It starts off as "oh he's a friend, that clientele is good for business". Till the end where his restaurant is used as a mob front, Artie attempts loansharking and beats a mob guy half to death over a scam. It shows that over time you become your friends.
2:16
Artie looked tougher without the mustache.
They never showed him the appreciation he deserved. This man put his soul into his food and just wanted to make sure everyone enjoyed the service
I'd watch a show just about Artie, just to see all of his hand gestures
