Italian Shops at Whole Foods for the First Time | Italian Shops in America
My wife, Eva, is Italian and takes food pretty seriously. Maybe too seriously. She's not very open-minded when it comes to cuisine, so I thought I would take her to Whole Foods for the first time and see what she thinks of their "alternative health pastas."
You can see Eva trying the pasta here: • Italian Tries American...

What do italians call gluten free spaghetti?
Impasta
😂😂😂
we don't call them at all, they don't exist for us
@@Gabneo1 e i celiaci? che cattiveria
@@statesOFflux vero, 😁👍, si parla sempre per la generalità, per loro certo è un problema trovarsela gluten free
@@statesOFflux ma certo che la pasta gluten free esiste in Italia
"What's the problem with that?"
"Pizza is based on carbs, if you don't want carbs you don't eat pizza. stop!" 😂😂
I completely agree!😄
I'm not Italian and I wouldn't eat that pizza either unless I was in jail.
Brilliant
@@TheMalacabeza So.....it will never happen.
Good
“You don’t want carbs? You don’t eat pizza.” I like her.
But what if you like carbs AND meat?
@Ding Dong Dickweed true a big pizza with sauce cheese and meat just like a great sandwich
@@dingdongdickweed6288 Get pepperoni on your pizza. Modern problems require modern solutions.
Your wife reminds me of these Greek women I used work with at a restaurant. All of your wife's mannerisms and talk about food reminds me of them. A lot of European cultures take their food seriously. Right down to specific herbs and spices. Has to be authentic as well.
Something we can learn from here in America. You are a lucky man sir! She's a keeper.
I think Eva is a serious pain in the ass-I'd dump her faster than you can say snob.
Eva: "The price of this is $8.00. I have a treasure in my fridge!"
Me: "Whole Foods" = "Whole Paycheck"
I buy excellent Parmigiano-riggiano at Aldi for $4.00. 10 ounces, aged 24 months
I have to look for it at Aldi now!!
Sad part is it’s not just Whole Foods. We overvalue everything in this country just on a word. It’s exactly what she says in this video. We Americans care more about the box something comes in than the actual product.
Which is why 90% of the garbage we consume in this country is made in 🇨🇳.
I'm not loaded ...but I thought 8 bucks is pretty good
@@tbam994 Compared to other types of cheeses, Parmigiano cheese is a little over priced despite being from one area of the world.
I have been to Italy over 10 times. The food I ate there was among the very best worldwide, but my experience is that generally Italians are very picky and do exaggerate extremely when trying foreign food. I made a Pasta Pollo al Limone in Perugia following for 100% the recipe (la ricetta) from a kind local nonna. When my Italian neighbours saw me cooking they started laughing. A German man cooking Italian food was next to impossible. I also made fresh pasta myself. I asked them to try the pollo al limone and all of them took a first bite with great caution, as if was about to poison them. It took them minutes to find out it tasted good. Great people, great food, great country, but boy......it takes hours convincing them others besides nonna can cook too.
Yeah, Italians are very picky, too picky, yes their is among the best in the world, but so are Mexican, Japanese and Peruvian, so culinary-wise they are close-minded, that’s my experience at least
I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in germany and my italian family would NEVER let me cook. lol
Drama queens. Food isn't that serious. So as long as its healthy, tasty, and clean and safe and not waaaaay off the menu of food options i dont see the reason for all the drama. Its food. Someone put thier heart into cooking, be kind, you might not have access to a meal next time.
Omg Giiirl agree ! My mom is from Italy she doesn’t act like that . She likes to try and eat all types of food , she does have good judgement of what she does try !
Yes those are countries with culinary culture. I would doubt Germans would approve to have pineapple in their sour kraut, or put ice in their white wines. Same french would kill if someone would use canned peaches in the boeuf bourguignon.
"she is Italian... And I mean very Italian!" ahahahahha
😂😂😂😂
In comparison to the Americans, everyone is very Italian :)
more like two sicilian.
???
Tra tutte io la reputo la peggiore! Voiello, Rummo, Garofalo, De Cecco sono migliori, senza dubbio!
"Is this for human beings?" Sono morto!
MORTE DALL'AMERICA: Il ritorno del male (speciale whole foods), sarebbe uno spin-off da oscar
“...she’s Italian. I mean really Italian..” 😂🤣😂
What wine should we pair with our Lentil pasta? "Vinegar". Oh my god that is priceless, I laughed so hard.
That was awesome and terribly funny!!
"I have a treasure in my fridge!" 😂😂😂
"This is for human beings?" I died! Hahhahaahhahaha
I might be late to the party but I would suggest that she can have like a cooking series where we get one recipe per video. That would be great!
Yes, we’re going to start posting more recipe videos soon so stay tuned!
you wanna learn how to cook Italian; Vincenzo's plate or not another cooking show is a start.
"What about some french wine?"
"That is not real wine"
*Breathes angrily in french*
Yah! Right?! Typical Italian.
I'm italian, to me french wine is among the best. I live in Spain, here they have ok wines, but it's not even close. Italian and French wines can compete quality-wise. I have tried italian wines that are amazing and not too expensive (from Apulia, Sicily, Campania, Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto). But in France wines are usually very good in average, even relatively cheap ones. Unfortunately I haven't tried the upper price tag kinds (+200€ per bottle) in neither country, for obvious reasons. I'm sure they're all beyond good.
@@amandala444 And what do you know about Italians?
It is. I think French and Italian wines are the best.
*laughs in Italian*
Watching Eva’s reaction to Whole Foods is even better than watching Eva’s reaction to McDonald’s! Brava!
She is right. Whole Foods is overpriced
Organic is always more expensive...
"Organic" is a word on a label that connotes nothing, except you pay more for it.
@@ernestturner915 My carrot is organic. I'm pretty sure the pesticides they sprayed it with are, too.
@@hypothalapotamus5293 okay and your point is? Your comment is really lame and just plain stupid..
Whole foods sell a plastic bag to cook a turkey. Honestly, they charge $8 for an oven bag! Oh, wait, it was organic!!! 😂😂😂
I watched this with tears of laughter streaming down my face. Eva, your husband is a jerk, but the best kind of it. It's obvious he's fascinated by you and your thoughts, but he thinks it's all just funny as heck. And I can't disagree with him. I hope y'all just explode to the top of the YT charts.
That's true, he's so fun. He has a great "faccia da culo" (I mean it in the best way possible)!
@@filipporubino4163 How do you mean something like that in the best way possible?!
@@mainstreetsaint36 in Italian this "ass-face" espression is not to be taken literally. If you have an "ass-face" it means you're able to joker, tease or prank someone with a straight face (or even lie). You can say it to someone in a negative way, or like me in the best way possible (not an insult).
@@filipporubino4163 very rude actually
@@fingersm no per niente. E lo dimostra il fatto che sei il primo a scrivere una cosa del genere. È la lingua italiana, quella informale, non l'ho inventata io.
8:12
"Power protein pasta"
"OH GESÙ CRISTO!!"
Him: you eat it
Her: you, who?
🤣🤣🤣
You can see that Eva hasn't been living in Italy for quite some time. :) Pasta made from legumes flour has arrived in Italy too. You can find it in any shop and it's made for those that are intolerant to gluten.
Stava scherzando …
"French wine is not real wine"! 😂😂🇮🇹🍷
Ancient romans teached french to make wine
Sniper Elite Romans taught Gauls winery and Gauls taught romans basia (kisses)... French came later from Germany and they were called Franks. They abandoned germanic language in favor of Latin when occupying slowly entire France and acquired roman costumes like drinking wine instead of cerevisia (beer)... 🤔😁
Gallo makes OK Chianti. For some reason the wine in the 4 liters glass jug is OK. Just OK. But if you put it in the cellar in a wood barrel for a year or more it it is much better. The wine Grandpa made from his own grapes, strong and tasty. He was from San Giovanni in Fiore so there is a good probability he knew how to make wine.
@スパイダーマン actually it's true! South Italians seem more Greek and north Italians more french.
But they're still very different both culture-wise and food-wise, just the personalities are similar.
Actually, only Piemonte and Lombardy (where I live) would be a bit similar to France I think? Other regions up north, near Switzerland, are DEFINITELY different.
France just exploded.
Yes! I've been buying de cecco forever even though it's pretty expensive where I live. Glad to have confirmation from an Italian that I'm buying the right thing!
Costco also carries organic imported pasta from Italy. About $1.25 for each bag and real (authentic).
This channel is a treasure! "This is for human beings?"... ... ... "this is for cats"... and yet another Italian woman slays me. Harper is a talented man and also a lucky man (for having parents with the forethought to introduce you two, and you persistent enough to chase)... and Eva is just Everything. Your vids always Make me smile. It's like the weather.. I can't control it.
Eva looks so distressed while looking at the weird pastas. Shes gonna have a panic attack .
I don't blame her, they are all crap, you have convince yourself that you like them.
That look said “where is the trash can , I need to spit this out”.............
She always looks stressed and leary. Maybe she would do better back in Italy.
e una crisi di schifo
My aunt had the same hairstyle of Eva in the '70s... 😁
"Then, what should we get?"
"No"
When I moved to the states one thing really amazed me.....those people have no taste buds to the point that they have forgotten that food shouldn't taste like cardboard. The feta cheese is dry like chalk, the parm is cardboard, the yogurt has a weird powder texture, the chocolate tastes stale...and I'm not talking about some cheap brand I'm talking about their top brands. My husband's family is "Italian". I made him a lasagna and now he won't eat his mom's lasagna as mine beats it. I wish more people had time to cook and explore different tastes and food. Sadly nowadays we live at such a fast pace that a lot of people can't afford to cook real food and have forgotten what a good homemade meal tastes like.
And people so often forget the cheeses and cured meats we buy are imported from Europe, so if it tastes like cardboard blame Europeans.
@@danielpalma1426 So-so. We export those things to the US because that's the only place where we can sell them. For good money, mind you. Mostly any other people on earth would taste the difference and not buy them.
Then again, it's something you (as a nation) inflict upon yourself. Good food has to be fresh, and the recipes for making good cured meats or cheese can't always be brought in line with US food safety rules. Some of the better things we do simply can't be imported into the US.
Well, as an Italian, I actually do confirm that everything that comes from Tuscany is good ☺
Tuscany is life.
@@MicheleBenfante deh
Un si frigge mia coll'acqua
@@killuasadzoldyck4817 dignene deh!
@@MicheleBenfante All of Italy is the life! I'd be glad to live anywhere in Italy. Ugh !
this woman is so iconic, i love her reactions
Eva’s reactions are priceless. Bella Eva you are a treasure!
I love Eva! Finally, someone else who talks with their hands 🤣 My family on my Dads side is from Palermo, Italy. Balestrieri
Balestrieri is the family name of my ophthalmologist here in Campania. 🤣
Balestrieri is a neapolitan/campanian surname
@@jestergamedev5551 infatti é un cognome napoletano
“You don’t want carbs you don’t eat pizza”😂😂😂...plain and simply put. You guys are the best
I audibly sighed in relief when she said De Cecco is better than Barilla. I just went to the grocery store & bought De Cecco on a whim instead of the Barilla that I'm used to, glad to know I made theright choice.
Barilla is the fucking worst De Cecco is expensive like shit but when you taste it you know why.
Sorry Gustavo but Barilla in Italy is considered low end pasta and one the worst industrial made pastas. DeCecco used to be very good now it's ok. Voiello or Rumo if you can find it is better.
Oh come on, Barilla is the cheapest and worst one in Italy.
De Cecco is way better, but when you taste Rummo (or similar) you put the "barilla-thing" in the garbage can
De Cecco is the best industrial pasta according to many italians.
@@igb81 Rummo or Voiello are better if you can find them.
This has become my favourite channel overnight! She's so cute but polite when she's trashing our food! 😂 😂 😂
@WesleyAtkinson I don't think she trashed our food. I think she trashed our cat food.
This reminds me of the first time I took my Greek wife shopping in he US. She had the same reaction. Thank God she knew what to buy.
The fact that Eva points ot the difference between Cavatelli and Gnocchetti Sardi shows how much is she competent! wow!. Complimenti e un caro saluto!
"They told me: enjoy" 😂😂😂
4:47 "You use Italian words because you want to do everything Italian. But no." LMAO. This is how I feel when I walk into the typical "Italian" restaurant or "pizza" shop in the U.S.
Eva, you are a breathe of fresh air. I wanted to let you know that in the last 40 seconds of this video when you two are sitting at the table your hair looks awesome! I enjoy your videos and practice in my kitchen what you offer...Thank you to you and Harper...May God's riches and best be yours always!
Haha she's so genuine and adorable! ♥ Love to learn from y'all. Made my day ☺
Her reaction to this store was PRICELESS 😂😂👌
Actually, being honest and direct is not the same as not being open-minded. She is as open-minded as anyone could ever get!
Ik right some of the foods she tries are look absolutely disgusting to her (and I can’t blame her American food can be that way) but she tries it anyway and I love that about her
Eating shit or trash doesn't make you open minded, the same as fucking stunning girls doesn't make you superficial
Why compromising is equal to open mind ?, especially when you come from a country with one of the oldest culinary culture. Respect people , you can learn a lot from this woman.
She's Italian, her controversy makes money on TH-cam. Seriously, how can a woman such as herself even torture herself with something she didn't make? A setup for you fools.
@I like Potatoes Italians are arrogant and close minded, actually....
Love the reaction to the alternative pastas. And I was SUPER pleased to see her settle on that primitivo. I spent a little time in Lecce and visited that very vineyard. The wine down there is A+.
She took a bite and her soul died inside!!!😂
In verità la pasta di legumi esiste anche in Italia, come quella di quinoa, di altri grani antichi, di riso e anche pasta fatta con mix di farine.
Per quanto riguarda il vino il migliore io penso sia il Prosecco ❤️✨
Al mondo
Ed è anche buonissima!
Ahah se sei in italia il vino del sud non lo guardi nemmeno che magari lo fanno nella terra dei fuochi.
@@federicopizzolato3898 non esiste solo la Campania al Sud, ci sono molti vini eccellenti (il mio preferito è il Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) e poi ci sono le isole che producono uve meravigliose
stavo per commentare lo stesso, tranne per il prosecco
Man I'd love to see Eva making Italian dishes on this channel, when she was talking about the large shell pasta and the filling of eggplant and ricotta I was instantly thinking I've gotta see that!
Have you seen the rest of our videos? She cooks a lot! Lucky me!
@@PastaGrammar oh no definitely binge watched every video you guys have, just meant recipe type/based video's I would also binge watch 😂
Good to know!
Love to watch Eva and Harper. Eva's honesty and facial expressions are incredibly refreshing. Keep up the great productions.
When they showed the basket w/3 of those crazy sounding pastas in it & they finally showed her face...I almost fell off my couch laughing!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anche l'Aglianico del Vulture ha un suo perché....da pugliese approvo in pieno il Primitivo...the best!!🔝🇮🇹
Actually, pasta made with beans is a thing also in Italy, especially for vegetarians and vegans, and it is not too bad either. And there are several small "pastifici" making this type of pasta also here in Italy. Eva you should give it a try.
Maurizio Navarra is ma fa cagare
Vittoria Cremasco ma no dai non è così tremenda, però ovvio la pasta normale non si batte.
Però non ho mai capito, cosa c'è nella pasta che i vegani non possono mangiare?
@@huh5950 la moda
Daniel Ogunleye niente, è più una pasta nata dal delirio ‘no carbs’ che dalla logica vegan
this was great, your wife is hilarious, and you are as well ! I've been to italy twice for about three weeks total and once worked with a chef from abruzzo. Italians have very high standards and a lot of pride with their food. nice memories loved italy as well !
Loved the way you wife speaks!! Reminds me of my Italian friends .
In Italy there is pasta made of legums, it is bought by caliacs
I am not celiac, I am italian and I eat pasta from chickpeas, lentils, mungo beans, peas...It's healthy and yummy. :)
We have corn pasta. I'm celiac and eat it ❤️
Your wife is adorable!!! Im also married to someone straight from Italy so I know allllll about it LOL
People married to Italians, unite!
Mama mia. 😆😆😆😆 love Italians 🍕
@@JimmyDew_ mamma mia*
Harper: "What is it?" Eva:"BOH!". Ammazza quanta si forte Eva.
I'm not Italian by blood but deep in my soul there's a little Italian nonna who is agreeing with everything eva says and judges everyone who doesn't know how to properly cook pasta
Ok wait a second, when I heard best wine is from the south I had a moment. I am from Veneto and sorry, I can´t agree on that :D
Si va bene tutto ma i capelli di Eva sono splendidi! Vorrei toccarli perché sembrano delle nuovole, come quelli di Brian May. Ora che ci penso... Eva sembra un po' Brian May... 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔝
Siii
Beh dai è un tantino più carina !
😂😂😂😂 Adoro entrambi ❤️
Povera! My God her reactions are priceless and the fact that i can understand every Word that comes out of her mouth makes it even funnier. Eva you make me laugh everytime.
Your wife was a hoot in that video. She reacted like the true Italian woman she is. As a second generation Italian-American, she reminded me of all the Italian women in my life who emigrated to the US.
Eva is a real woman. The world needs more Evas!
OK, what does that mean?
How? What?
"Which one of the French wines will go good with the lentil pasta"? Her: Vinegar! 😂😂 I have a few Italian friends who hate anything French.
Well, at least in that sentence she was criticizing the lentil pasta, not the French wine ;)
Just found the channel two days ago and already watched like 20 videos. I love you guys.
Thank you!
LOL!!! Enjoyed it. Keep it up, Harper, we enjoy watching new discoveries by your wife. How precious. Wow learned a lot about food just by watching your wife shop. Fake pasta from commercial manufacturers. Versus authentic wholesome, Italian food. She is a treasure trove of knowledge.
"france"
"...that is not real wine"
LO SAPEVO AHAHAHAH
"What about some French wine?" "That's not real wine"
True story 🇮🇹 😂😂
daaaaamn!!!
Well the Romans did bring winemaking to France..
... però pure il primitivo come miglior vino in Italia è opinabile ....
I once teased an Italian colleague by telling him that French food was better than Italian. He said, "What do you know? You eat English food." Ouch.
Italian people talking shit about french wine are the same people that drink 3,50 euro primitivo or homemade wine from their grandpa. Their wine culture stops at Albano's Negroamaro.
I'm new to this channel and I have to say, Eva is absolutely adorable! I'm an Italian American and watching her just makes me smile because I can hear so many of my older relatives sound just like her.
Thank you!
That was interesting. You guys cheer up my day.
Me, as a Bulgarian am pretty partial when it comes to yogurt and would say that even in Italy wasn't that good. It's "crema di yogurt". Real yogurt is white, no fruits or stuff and is so thick that if you turn the jar it will not come out. For everything else I'm totally with Eva.
Wish you happy holidays from Bulgaria! ❤
Adore her. The hair. The jacket. Those eyes. “They told me to..Enjoy.” Holds a most un-Italian paper plate which on it sits a red wedge of The most un-whole Italian pasta.
*on which sits 🙂
I love her reactions!...so honest and yet fierce! 😍
I enjoy watching your videos ,I have learned so much from your wife just wanted to let you know I’m going to continue to watch you and your lovely wife’s videos , thank you for your teaching and step by step instructions 👋🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏽✌️👍🇵🇷 love you guys .
You had the same reaction to Whole Foods prices as the rest of us Eva!!😂Welcome to America!!🙈
Mi sono commossa quando hai detto che nessuno compra Barilla :') ho dovuto spiegare lo stesso al mio ragazzo spagnolo che credeva di comprare la migliore pasta italiana del mondo!
Dile que compre pastas gallo hihihihihiji meglio di Barilla hahahaha
Veramente! Finalmente la verità, come se non bastasse usano le peggio farine per le linee di prodotti internazionali.
"You don't want carbs? You don't eat pizza!" That had me cracking up, I freaking LOVE Eva's personality! You're one lucky man Harper. Wishing you both many happy days and blessings.
Thank you! ❤️
I really don't get how you don't have more subscribers. i love your videos!
Primitivo is really a good wine, we drink this in germany too
but sure not the best, as she said
@@Gabneo1 sure the northern italian wines are not the best, sorry
" You don't want carbs you don't eat pizza". She's not wrong! She's adorable but I wouldn't want to get in an argument with her.
I have a treasure in my fridge. 😂 Yall are both so cute.
"This for human beings?" "I feed to my cat." (I love Eva's way of thinking, my sides hurt from laughing!You two are a perfect match, 🧡 your videos!)
You should bring Eva to Providence Rhode Island. We have this place called federal hill which is pretty much little Italy. There’s is even an Italian market that sells all authentic Italian foods. I bet she would like it. Maybe you can review some of the restaurants there.
"Allegro coffee..." *spits on the ground*
Me: makes a Coffee with Allegro coffee
Also me: I get sad
I love this channel!
“Well that is quite the haul.” You two crack me up! 😂
Ava’s reaction to the gluten-free pasta surprised me. I know they have it in Italy, it’s just hard to find. Some of my gluten intolerant friends always complain about the scarcity. Surprisingly, there’s a whole store of gluten free items in my home town.
When the Italian breaks out the "Gesù Cristo!" you know it's bad. 😂 Whole Foods is known as "whole paycheck" for a reason! Also, "Hipster Foods" because you can have it gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free, and above all, flavor free! 😂
@Dragonfyre2009 I don't think Whole Paycheck Foods is nut free. Everytime I go in there I see fruitcakes and nuts.
As soon as she said Barilla is the worst Pasta you can have she got me!!!!!!
😂 I'm having fun watching these videos..so hilarious 🤣 mamma mia!
"Is this for human beings" haha so funny!
To be fair: I love pasta and luckily I am able to digest tremendous amounts of gluten. But I have Friends who can't eat wheat. And they are so happy that they finally can choose between several gluten free pastas. Lentil and Chickpea pasta are a real blessing for them. 😊 Anyway. You are the best.
Your wife’s attitude fits in perfect with us in New England. She’s awesome. ✌🏼
Best piece of method acting I've seen in a while :D
Eva is spot on! We have way WAY! to many selections of food stuffs! and most of them are not so good! nWEe should stick to the basics!
Everything is way over processed!
"This is for cats and dogs" x'D
This popped up on my feed and after watching I had to subscribe, lol 😂 love it
🙏❤️
The two of you are so CUTE!!!!! You both make me laugh because I know what you’re saying about what we think is so good, shows we know nothing. I would LOVE to have ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that Eva makes. I just discovered your TH-cam videos today, and I know I will be enjoying so many more. The first one I watched was how to make both northern and southern lasagna. WOW!!!!! Keep it up you both of you - you’re absolutely wonderful and delightful!!!!!
Thank you!!!
Eva mi fai morire dal ridere!! , lo stick di carne comunque anche per me é cibo per animali😂
troppo vero :)
Mamma mia, credo che io non lo darei neanche al cane!
Ho mangiato la pasta fatta da Evelina ad Orvieto, fantastica, veramente "pasta italiana". Ma devo dire che ci sono molte buone cose in Toscana ( Michelangelo, Dante, Da Vinci, Galileo, Boccaccio, Collodi, Fabbrini) e non solo in Calabria! LOL Bello video, divertente e interessante.
In che ristorante di orvieto?
Nessun ristorante 😃 Fernando è stato un mio studente e attualmente un mio grande amico. Ho cucinato per lui! 😃
OMG that was seriously the best!! Laughed my head off
When she asked "Da vero?" I almost fell off my chair laughing!
