Unfortunately it's difficult not to fall in a tourist trap here in Italy. You need to have a local friend in each city that guides you to the best spots😂
I mean, it depends on which type of food you wanna eat inside the mercato centrale in Florence for example. There are some small shops that give you the best tuscanian food that you can't even imagine
I agree with you, I was both in mastrocicio and gelateria, both tourist traps. His opinion on the sandwich is a scam, I had the same and it was completely tasteless, absolutely zero salt, I ate half and it was expensive, fried Burrata was better but still not very good. The gelateria had outrageous prices but ofc he didn't show that, and very little flavours to choose, if you like more fruit flavours, you can choose one at most. You can walk literally 3 meters more and there is much better gelateria, with a lot of flavours and normal, Italian prices.
To do this kind of video (which i find very interesting), there are few rules to respect: 1) Avoid main squares/road restaurants. 2) Head deeper into the inner streets and find Family Run places to eat True local dishes. 3) Always ask around what's the typical food. Otherwise you'll end up asking something not of the zone and it'll be so bad. E.G. It's like asking a Milanese veal cutlet in Sicily. It can't be good as they doesn't normally make it.
I am Italian - so I spotted some mistakes here and there. You tried many "delicatessen" but most of the time in the wrong city. For example, porchetta is typical of Rome, and you could have found something much better there because it is delicious. In Florence, you should have tried the Lampredotto sandwich and Fiorentina steak. Limonata is typical of Sicily, as you said, but you tried it in Naples, where they do it in a different way - no soda in Sicilian lemonade. Supplì is typical of Rome. Arancini are typical of Sicily. MOST IMPORTANT: We do not add any alcohol to the cappuccino on the regular days when we have to work - just the simple cappuccino with milk and coffee, with no alcohol. BTW, I am very happy you liked most of the dishes.
Im not italian but I was there 3 times and I have noticed that you need to be in a specific region or even the exact city that the dish was invented to get it done the right way.
@@exclibrion Correct-for casual tourists, everything is ok, but if you want to try a dish at its best, you have to go where it was invented and mastered.
Just wait my friend, Florence Fiorentina Steak coming! FULL porchetta sandwich coming from Rome and Lampredotto also coming from Florence, just be patient there's alot more to come from Italy and each video is better than the other!
Its street food for tourists, its make 'spectacular' pictures or videos for TH-cam. Beautifull small traditional Trattorias are the gems of Italia...Like an Unesco heritage..But its not photogenic. Its the limit of youtube and..Guga
The best part of Italy is that not only each region, but almost each city has its own traditional recipes! Unfortunately in the biggest citie there are also a lot of tourist traps, but when you find where the locals eat, you are surely settled!
I love the growth but I'm also envious. I want to be able to experience those same tastes and flavors from their origin. Foods don't quite taste right if it's not local produce.
@@schweinmitwein3604I’ve wanted this Italian culinary collaboration for some time and I second the call for this! Please Guga and Vincenzo, make this happen!
Guga, Mercato Centrale in Florence is a tourist trap. The real street food here is panino with lampredotto. Come back and try it in one of those small food trucks you find in the city center.
Guga… I love your perfect reviews on everything. I’m a big-time foodie and you are definitely not faking it when it tastes bad or when it tastes good thank you very much for your honest opinion. That’s why I watch your show.
GUGA you look phenomal on your weight loss journey! My brother godd bless. You probably dont remember this but a few years back, me and a co worker went to pick up alot of steaks from grand western on out lunch break and ran into you and we were shy to ask for a picture, but we did and you were happy to take one with us. Im a huge fan thank so much for your videos brother!👍
In italy there is just so many different things to try and not a single video is enough for every region and every region also city north to south as different plates this is so wholesome hope you enjoyed everything you can go to different trattorie but in good ones where most Italians go to eat you pay a price and you have starters first plates and desserts so you can try everything in one go
Italy is amazing especially for tourists, but before coming here get some advice on What to do, Where to go and What to eat, even better if from someone local, so you can avoid Tourist Traps and enjoy your holiday at 101%. Personally i would avoid Guides, they are always associated with some restaurants (or other places they will show you), so i don't really trust them.
Hey Guga, I have so much respect for you, but as an Italian subscriber, I’ve got to point something out. You traveled over 5k miles and ended up at some of the most touristy spots that locals would never dream of going to, not even for a bottle of water! It felt like a missed opportunity to explore the true heart of Italian cuisine. And when you asked for cream in your dish... oh boy, that was a moment! 😮 I’d love to see you dive deeper into the authentic hidden gems next time!
what are you on about? Italians focus a lot on cheeses, why on earth would you not use cream? and on top, be offended as if it was a crazy thing to want? it's all made from cows n such..
@@bingobot listen man 😂 1) first of all, not evrything is like US that you can customise your food if you want a sandwich with a specifc ingredient on top you can ask or you can simply READ the ingredients of the sandwich if it’s not in the ingredients go to another place. Im Italian but if i go to Japan to Eat sushi i don’t ask them to put me some tomato sauce and mozzarella on top because i like it this way What makes you think that you are entitle to something.😂
Man those where tourist traps and i can really tell you just by looking at the porchetta, also the arancini in Firenze, i'm italian and i apologize for what you ate
I absolutely love the honest travel reviews as a 5yr Guga follower. Didn't know how I'd like these, but thank you, Guga!! Speak the truth & tell us where we gotta try. We've trusted you for a reason I love it, Carnal! ❤😊 Te Amo!
10:43 I love going to this place and getting the best gelato and you know it’s good because there’s always a massive line filled with local Italians not tourists.
Do you wanna hear an italian story? In Italy, tomato is called "pomodoro" or translated "golden apple" because the first version imported in italy was the yellow tomato
about the porchetta i just want to say for us is more like a cultural thing, it reminds our youthness (especially rome where i'm from). You're right it's dry and cold but each one of us tried it hot and so getting it cold it's just practical and a "memory experience" in some way. Try it in Ariccia when the pork it's hot and just take out from the oven like in a "fiera" (porchetta festival) and thenfrom there you'll be able to appreciate it even when it's cold and probably not so fresh!!
WTF, but that guy making a sandwich with mozzarella, mortadella and pesto...did they maybe transplant him directly from Little Italy in New York to some random area of Naples? Hahaha, a Neapolitan (and I'm from northern Italy) would never dream of proposing such an abomination, made up of three ingredients that you’ll never find on the same plate in Italy, except in places made for tourists, trying to make them feel at home like this one xD
I suspect that he made this video just for tourists who, like him, don’t understand anything about Italian food and don’t even want to try it. Let’s say they want to eat Italian food as if they were at home, using their own tastes 🤮🤮
Totally agree, all these ingredients are things that can be found everywhere in the world. It makes no sense to propose them as local food. by the way, pesto is from Genoa, buffalo mozzarella is from Battipaglia and mortadella is from Piacenza. There is not a single region that would put those three ingredients together, it makes no sense!!!
@@theKinoglaz mortadella e pesto sono buoni insieme. Certo non'e tradizionale ma e buono. Che un posto vicino a me che fa focaccia ripiena con mortadella e pesto.
@@doublereel-real possono essere anche buoni assieme, ma non si possono definire Italian o loca food. Pesto, mozzarella e mortadella sono ormai diventati prodotti industriali. Un panino con questi tre ingredienti può anche sembrare buono, ma in realtà non ha nulla di nostrano anche avendo ingredienti tipicamente italiani. Anzi! l’errore sta nell’idea di spacciare un panino per cucina italiana. Il fast food non è cucina italiana, ma pura gentrificazione. La base della cucina italiana è slow, come lo è tutta la cultura mediterranea. Quindi quando vedo uno statunitense che si fa un viaggio oceanico per documentare e mangiare panini, permettimi di storcere il sopracciglio. Io mi mangio la mia pasta e fagioli e la mia coda alla vaccinara, poi ognuno faccia ciò che vuole.
You have to try brioche con gelato in sicily. It is basically a certain type of brioche bun filled with ice cream. You only get the real deal in sicily, and it is amazing
Hi Guga, it's me again: if you want to taste the real Porchetta, you gotta go to Ariccia(near Rome in the place they call "the Roman Castles": that's the palce where Porchetta was invented and there you can also taste one of the better things that can come out from a pork: the "Coppiette di Ariccia" you'll never taste anything good like that!
Never a good idea to watch Guga video when you’re a diet 🥲🥲🥲🥲 those coffee , croissants looks yummy ! The coffee gelato also looks yummy !!! Starting my fasting right now and because of you I’m angry , oups I mean hungry 😂😂😂 In all seriousness I really love to see those travel/food content
Kind of like France. The US has a perfunctory "continental" breakfast, which is coffee and some kind of bread (toast, donut, muffin, bagel, danish). It's associated with the complimentary breakfast at cheap hotels, although most ones now have powdered scrambled eggs, cereal and milk, sausage, biscuits and bagged gravy, watery orange and apple juice, and paper thin bacon in addition to the continental offering.
It is in fact very different, the quality of the coffee and the croissant is LIGHTYEARS ahead of what you get in the US or Northern Europe. And I´m saying that as a non-Italian who simply has to admit the fact.
Guga's World Tour 2024....Guga, you did my Italian heritage well. There is nothing better then Italian deli food. Naples is where my Great Grandmother was born there and then came over here in 1905.Thanks for the good video again today...You'll have to hit your diet again when you get back home.
Man italy is on the top if you think about food and history. Nobody can reach our level to be honest, i wish you was good for the time you spent in our country. Mammamia my friend, you have one new follower!
The Caffè Speciale is a specialty of Polignano a Mare, and the original recipe comes from that bar. The alcohol is barely noticeable and perfectly balanced. In some ways, it may remind you of a cappuccino, but it is a complex and unique recipe.
Great, but you didn't go in Northern Italy, near the Alps (Milan, Turin, Venice, etc), There you'd find all another story... Food is so different there and yet so delicious...
@@theillusiveman2139I think you missed the purpose of this video, it's all about Italian street food. Your list has nothing to do with street food except for the cured meat.
So I did a bit of research and apparently that trapizzino (16:00) is filled with roman chicken cacciatore. There is red, and white chicken cacciatore, they used the white one. It's a chicken stew and is made without cream.
I went to Rome, was told where to go by friends who work, live there and the porchetta they suggested to get was amazing. Also, I believe they call it cornetto and not a croissant in Italy.
I was lucky enough to stay in an apartment for 10 days across from the colosseum. The food was the best I've ever had. Really is as good as they say. We also followed their food schedule and can't say I've ever felt better
Guga! Great video. I am a Napolitano and saw food I had not seen. I was there in May and had a blast. That octopus I have to go to Bari and try. Love your channel.
Good porchetta is very difficult to find, usually they all use industrial products in the place you went, you have to look for homemade porchetta, that's incredible
I went to Italy 3 times with the military and we were assigned to work with the Alpini (Italian Mountain Troops) and never got any time off. I also worked closely with them in Nasiriyah, Iraq where they fought professionally and bravely in some serious battles. I hope to go there again and try to find some of the guys from Iraq, but that was many years ago. I was a contractor in Iraq, but got to eat in their mess hall a couple times and it was out of this world.
Guga, you should go to Prague also, all you famous youtubers just to the UK 🇬🇧, Italia 🇮🇹, France 🇫🇷, Greece 🇬🇷 try Czech 🇨🇿 😉 (my hometown) you will not be disappointed 😉
Ypu are wrong. The Caffè Speciale is a specialty of Polignano a Mare, and the original recipe comes from that bar. The alcohol and lemon are barely noticeable and perfectly balanced. In some ways, it may remind you of a cappuccino, but it is a complex and unique recipe.
I have been to Italy and your comments are correct. Funny the sandwich you did not like is very popular at lunch time with the business suits and there vino. They also have pasta at the same place very good. The gelato is next level. My favourite was in Venice, but you cant go wrong when you are in Rome or Florence as well.
Guga just a lil tip: for the porchetta you have to ask for the greasy and juicy part and you have to avoid the "prosciutto" part, which is the dryer part
Best Pizza I ever had was in Napoli in a small street (one of the most famous 'restaurants'). You watch thema making it and walk trought the kitchen. And try Afrogado with lemon ice - maybe not conventinal, but great.
great vid guga you should go far down south where im from calabria food is amazing zeppole, zimbato, parmigiana, nduja the fish is amazing and so much more
Hi Guga, I’m italian and the best advise that I can give you is to bring with you a very good and prepared “Cicerone” (a guide). The “mercato centrale” isn’t a good place to eat, but I can see that if you are a foreigner it can seems interesting. That porchetta is disgusting, the proper one is better that sex ahahhahahah. Cheers from Italy❤️
You've got unlucky with the porchetta, dry is like eating ropes, and it can happen often. There are some great places in Rome when you can have a really good (and moist) one, for example near the Temple of Hadrian; otherwise you can have the one they make in Tuscany which hardly can be too dry. We're happy you enjoied your trip here! :D
13:10 When a successful cook gets excited about showing you a dish they made, you definitely give it a try. Also, if you've never had gelato, definitely give it a try. It's like ice cream that somehow has a negative amount of filler. It's like ice cream that is 200% ice cream.
Guka sometimes falls into tourist traps - if you go to anything central and shiny expect either to pay overprice for regular things or crappy tasteless food and often both un less you find those hidden jems which carry on traditions without making instagrammable dish but with the best taste
Hey Guga... Love ya vids.... I have been learning a lot from you!! Ya great bloke, if ever my way, I would love a chance to eat your feed and in return cook ya something from my books... but i digress... you should have a try of the Croatian food when your in Europe, EG Sarma, Peka, and much more. Give Croatia a chance and a tour, you may enjoy it.
Guga I'm Neapolitan, if you want to try street food here you gotta avoid the tourist traps! Like for the Pizza a Portafoglio, don't go to Sorbillo! The best one is (supposedly) Da Michele, but is almost impossible to get one since the line is extremely long 🤣 For fried food, go to Friggitoria Vomero (in Vomero ofc ahahah) it is one of the best places for fried food.
I went to Andorra once, we were just looking for a quick coffee and went into a McDonald's there. I speak pretty mediocre Spanish and the lady that served us was in her 60's and hadn't a word of Spanish or English, after 4 or 5 rounds of asking for "coffee with milk" in various languages the lady came back with two double espressos with soft serve ice cream. Not wanting to be rude about it i said thank you and brought it back to my brother in the car, it was actually surprisingly delcious . The affogato in this video reminded me of that, i must try it again, and affogato
Hi Guga, you have also to try the maritozzo alla crema in Rome, the panino ca meuza in Sicily, the schiacciata fiorentina and the Lampredotto in Florence and the cuoppo di paranza fritta in Naples, but also the fried pizza in Naples and the Masardona. I am sorry you tried the tourist and american-friendly places.
Next time you should try some food from the northern cities, like pizzoccheri della Valtellina, vitello tonnato, ossobuco with risotto allo zafferano, knödel, this are just a few
Unfortunately it's difficult not to fall in a tourist trap here in Italy. You need to have a local friend in each city that guides you to the best spots😂
@A.X.N it is necessary to understand were the locals go to eat. Maybe following this simple suggestion is way too difficult for Guga...

Kind of like France. The US has a perfunctory "continental" breakfast, which is coffee and some kind of bread (toast, donut, muffin, bagel, danish). It's associated with the complimentary breakfast at cheap hotels, although most ones now have powdered scrambled eggs, cereal and milk, sausage, biscuits and bagged gravy, watery orange and apple juice, and paper thin bacon in addition to the continental offering.
American breakfast? Absolutely nothing, aside from the coffee! We can’t eat, we need that caffeine to kick in quick.
@@udasai A DELIGHT to the senses, isn't it my friend? I'll have what I'M having
It is in fact very different, the quality of the coffee and the croissant is LIGHTYEARS ahead of what you get in the US or Northern Europe. And I´m saying that as a non-Italian who simply has to admit the fact.
Well, it’s kinda different. Most people around the world have savory breakfast, we traditionally eat sweet breakfast, for some reason.
Regarding porchetta, I ate it many times in Italy. You just found a bad one. Never happened to me :)
you can tell the italians love their level of detail and quality!
Guga's World Tour 2024....Guga, you did my Italian heritage well. There is nothing better then Italian deli food. Naples is where my Great Grandmother was born there and then came over here in 1905.Thanks for the good video again today...You'll have to hit your diet again when you get back home.
everyone loves a good bit of italian
Thick with flavor and a long lasting impression
I do not. Out of every style of food on planet earth… Italian is the worst 🤮
Man italy is on the top if you think about food and history. Nobody can reach our level to be honest, i wish you was good for the time you spent in our country. Mammamia my friend, you have one new follower!
In Italy we don't have breakfast drinking alcohol, we usually have coffee or cappuccino but without alcohol😅
Except for northern Italy lmao
alcohol is crap
The Caffè Speciale is a specialty of Polignano a Mare, and the original recipe comes from that bar. The alcohol is barely noticeable and perfectly balanced. In some ways, it may remind you of a cappuccino, but it is a complex and unique recipe.
Depends
Al nord nelle alpi ci beviamo i Corretti! Tanti anche prima del lavoro! Grappa soprattutto!
The markets pace on Florence was one of the best places I’ve visited. Wife and I enjoyed it as one off the best places we visited in Italy.
11:11 that look, that smile 😥
That octopus sandwich looks like a cartoon, like Sponge Bob 🐙
🤣
🙏🏻
Great, but you didn't go in Northern Italy, near the Alps (Milan, Turin, Venice, etc), There you'd find all another story... Food is so different there and yet so delicious...
Give some examples
@@greenblack6552 great variety of cured meat, ravioli, tortellini, gnocchi, lasagna, risotti, brasato,etc
@@theillusiveman2139I think you missed the purpose of this video, it's all about Italian street food. Your list has nothing to do with street food except for the cured meat.
Loved it, that sandwich is packed full of fresh fantastic ingredients, no skimping, incredible!
So I did a bit of research and apparently that trapizzino (16:00) is filled with roman chicken cacciatore. There is red, and white chicken cacciatore, they used the white one. It's a chicken stew and is made without cream.
Good research nerd
Guga does the most touristy things when he is in these places.
Day 3 of Dry age Steak in Hoisin Sauce
You starting a new one
bro starting a new challenge
@@aloysiusoh197 you again??
I wonder if we’ll beat the wait for oyster sauce
Oh yeah you're back again
I went to Rome, was told where to go by friends who work, live there and the porchetta they suggested to get was amazing. Also, I believe they call it cornetto and not a croissant in Italy.
5:55 huh?!?!
😂
I was lucky enough to stay in an apartment for 10 days across from the colosseum. The food was the best I've ever had. Really is as good as they say. We also followed their food schedule and can't say I've ever felt better
You should try balkan breakfast.
Coffee and a cigarette!
We also have pretty good food tbh.
Nice to have you here in Italy Guga!
p.s. you are right many sandwiches are kind of dry in Italy.
Is it just me or something was moving inside the sandwich 2:26?
Lol wtf is that
Yes, that looks like a little worm or maggot.
Guga! Great video.
I am a Napolitano and saw food I had not seen. I was there in May and had a blast.
That octopus I have to go to Bari and try. Love your channel.
italian icecream is un beatable, i vouche for that.
Good porchetta is very difficult to find, usually they all use industrial products in the place you went, you have to look for homemade porchetta, that's incredible
I went to Italy 3 times with the military and we were assigned to work with the Alpini (Italian Mountain Troops) and never got any time off. I also worked closely with them in Nasiriyah, Iraq where they fought professionally and bravely in some serious battles. I hope to go there again and try to find some of the guys from Iraq, but that was many years ago. I was a contractor in Iraq, but got to eat in their mess hall a couple times and it was out of this world.
Guga, you should go to Prague also, all you famous youtubers just to the UK 🇬🇧, Italia 🇮🇹, France 🇫🇷, Greece 🇬🇷 try Czech 🇨🇿 😉 (my hometown) you will not be disappointed 😉
Basing on this video. Probably we would eat Trdelnik with Ice cream and call it traditional following 10x wow wow wow.
I truly love these series Guga please keep making em. a true nice video mate
First thing I saw, a coffe with lemon and a "cornetto" that looks like it was anemic. I can tell he went to the tourist places just with a glance.
Ypu are wrong. The Caffè Speciale is a specialty of Polignano a Mare, and the original recipe comes from that bar. The alcohol and lemon are barely noticeable and perfectly balanced. In some ways, it may remind you of a cappuccino, but it is a complex and unique recipe.
This man explaining everything that like am actually experiencing myself
I have been to Italy and your comments are correct. Funny the sandwich you did not like is very popular at lunch time with the business suits and there vino. They also have pasta at the same place very good. The gelato is next level. My favourite was in Venice, but you cant go wrong when you are in Rome or Florence as well.
Guga just a lil tip: for the porchetta you have to ask for the greasy and juicy part and you have to avoid the "prosciutto" part, which is the dryer part
Bro, you are looking fantastic! Whatever you're doing, keep it up!
that sandwich from zinzi's made my mouth water. I'm imagining how fresh and tasty that would be.
happy that you came to visit our country, greetings from Tuscany!
Best trip I ever took was a food tour of Italy! Aranchini was my favorite food, Pistachio Gelato my fav desert.
I Really Love Guga Vlogs ! It Just Makes Me So Happy ! ☺
Man you missed the deep south and the deep north! More food in there 😜
Best Pizza I ever had was in Napoli in a small street (one of the most famous 'restaurants'). You watch thema making it and walk trought the kitchen. And try Afrogado with lemon ice - maybe not conventinal, but great.
great vid guga you should go far down south where im from calabria food is amazing zeppole, zimbato, parmigiana, nduja the fish is amazing and so much more
Guga tells it like it is, i.e. the desert dry sandwich. Many of those dishes looked amazing.
Hi Guga, I’m italian and the best advise that I can give you is to bring with you a very good and prepared “Cicerone” (a guide).
The “mercato centrale” isn’t a good place to eat, but I can see that if you are a foreigner it can seems interesting. That porchetta is disgusting, the proper one is better that sex ahahhahahah.
Cheers from Italy❤️
You've got unlucky with the porchetta, dry is like eating ropes, and it can happen often. There are some great places in Rome when you can have a really good (and moist) one, for example near the Temple of Hadrian; otherwise you can have the one they make in Tuscany which hardly can be too dry. We're happy you enjoied your trip here! :D
13:10 When a successful cook gets excited about showing you a dish they made, you definitely give it a try. Also, if you've never had gelato, definitely give it a try. It's like ice cream that somehow has a negative amount of filler. It's like ice cream that is 200% ice cream.
what a great job you have!!!!
count your blessings guga
Guka sometimes falls into tourist traps - if you go to anything central and shiny expect either to pay overprice for regular things or crappy tasteless food and often both un less you find those hidden jems which carry on traditions without making instagrammable dish but with the best taste
Hey Guga... Love ya vids.... I have been learning a lot from you!! Ya great bloke, if ever my way, I would love a chance to eat your feed and in return cook ya something from my books... but i digress... you should have a try of the Croatian food when your in Europe, EG Sarma, Peka, and much more. Give Croatia a chance and a tour, you may enjoy it.
The fact that the cream in that croissant still had the ridges despite being closed inside the pastry is such a huge flex
Always good to see you Guga! I am making a poorish now to make one of Vito's pizza's. Vito is the master!
Guga I'm Neapolitan, if you want to try street food here you gotta avoid the tourist traps! Like for the Pizza a Portafoglio, don't go to Sorbillo! The best one is (supposedly) Da Michele, but is almost impossible to get one since the line is extremely long 🤣 For fried food, go to Friggitoria Vomero (in Vomero ofc ahahah) it is one of the best places for fried food.
I love these videos. Keep them coming Guga!
Love your honesty Guga
I've been stuck watching Sony and just found out today that Guga also started a travel food vlog, how did I missed this????
I went to Andorra once, we were just looking for a quick coffee and went into a McDonald's there. I speak pretty mediocre Spanish and the lady that served us was in her 60's and hadn't a word of Spanish or English, after 4 or 5 rounds of asking for "coffee with milk" in various languages the lady came back with two double espressos with soft serve ice cream. Not wanting to be rude about it i said thank you and brought it back to my brother in the car, it was actually surprisingly delcious . The affogato in this video reminded me of that, i must try it again, and affogato
Hi Guga, you have also to try the maritozzo alla crema in Rome, the panino ca meuza in Sicily, the schiacciata fiorentina and the Lampredotto in Florence and the cuoppo di paranza fritta in Naples, but also the fried pizza in Naples and the Masardona. I am sorry you tried the tourist and american-friendly places.
Nice video Guga! A little advice from a local: if you have time, try some typical Sardinian food. And if you are brave, the “Casu martzu” 😉
Next time you should try some food from the northern cities, like pizzoccheri della Valtellina, vitello tonnato, ossobuco with risotto allo zafferano, knödel, this are just a few
That octopus sandwich looked delicious and unique.
Hello my friend You make cooking look so easy and looks very beautiful the nature have a good day keep going my friend see you.
Hi Guga - Please can we get Leo and Angel to do a food review video abroad? That would be amazing
Guga and Vito together? What is it, a crossover episode? :D If you ever come to Genova please let me know, i would be happy to tour you
