Ciao e grazie. I'm lucky to have friends and family who share my passion for the Italian kitchen in America. Spending time together cooking and eating is a joy.
I had no idea how to make a Frittata. I looked at about 5 different ways to make it on TH-cam before you popped up! Thank you for making such an easy recipe to follow and I loved how you showed the details up close in the cooking process! Mine turned out PERFECT Thanks to You! XOXO
We had the plain Potato/Onion/Egg version of this so much as kids. It went to school with us (just follow the trail of Olive Oil) On trips, etc. Wrapped in foil. A staple! I still love it!
Italians taught the world how to eat. nothing crazy, just simple hearty meals that taste awesome. I make this all the time, I like to throw some green pepper and pancetta in as well
thank you Signiore Gianni! your recipes are fantastic, you. explain them nicely ,and well. love your channel, I usually do Spanish tortilla , which us basically the same but more potatoes. I'll try one like this for breakfast next Saturday for my wife.
My nonna always finished hers up in the broilier and that's how I do mine. I think it's easier than flipping it, and the finished product comes out more fluffy to me. Love all your videos. Thanks so much. See you around the village. Jeff C
I just love frittata too and I agree, makes good panini!!! I love your videos Gianni. So nice to see that there are still Italo-Americani who cook the Italian style like you do! Evviva l'Italia
Great Job Sir. You cook with taste in mind.!I do also. I made this & it was a great hit but diced the potatoes & roasted sausage a bit smaller added red bell pepper & spinach and an Italian blend of cheeses. My favorite...You can cook for me anytime Gianni!
Ciao Jeff. I like your nonna's method too. It does make a fluffier frittata. I just like the challenge of the stovetop method. I'm so happy when the flip is successful.
I say a little prayer every time I flip my frittata. The secret is to coat the cast iron skillet heavily for great flips! Also, I add some lean bacon and after frying use some of that juice to ensure success. You're the best Gianni!
Oh boy! This is a delicious recipe for a frittata. I have to make this because I have all the ingredients you used. Thank You for sharing this delicious frittata.
Miss You Gianni Thank You for all these recipes but especially this one: i was the toast of the town (the party i was at) with this recipe. i added zucchini and bell peppers #giannisurprise thanks again for all the great content
THANKYOU , mom made this all the time and I forgot how to make it as time past ,and after seeing this I thankyou again ,best flavor of foods on the dish .
Gianni i've watched all of your videos and this dish is my favourite. I always made myself a similar dish with egg, pottato, onion and sausage. I'm going to try this one for sure. Thank you for making these videos and taking us on a journey through american italian cuisine.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Madonna mia..incredible that we speak the same language in the cucina..'I'm generous today, so I'll add all the mozzarella', 'ok, I'm gonna flip it, pray for me' Seriously though, this is exactly how my mother taught us how to make frittata and it is delishhhhhhhhhhhh. Happy I found you!! ♥
In college we adapted the recipe and used french fries. We also added left over spaghetti aglio e olio. Some guys from Central America suggested using chorizo and the strong flavor worked out nicely. Nice job Gianni!
Mamma used to make hot dogs, vinegar peppers and potatoes and I was in HEAVEN. Too bad I can't like that anymore. I LOVE FIRTATTAS and make them in the winter. The other nite I made with egg beaters, crumbled chicken sausae, onions and potatoes and mushrooms. Man it was delish
Made omelers all my life. If you dont finish in them in the broiler you can leave eggs to set longer, before using spatula to cook raw eggs, and by using a lid on the pan, your omelet will be flippableo and fully cooked. I Worked across washington park, in north beach, in the 90's. Grazie signore, O.
ummmm.... 'one of my favorites'... think I heard you say that a few times but hey, I know why... all your recipes are fantastico... they're all our favorites.... keep up all the good work... we watched a load of your video's to decide what to try next and guess what... we still don't know... soon much choice!
Love that Frttata Gianni ... I like to make Spaghetti Frittata, sometimes Sausage Pepper & Onion, or Spinach, Ricotta & Parmigiano, but the next one I make is gonna be Like yours which looks awesome. Love your Videos, they are Great. Thanks a lot I really enjoy watching them and your passion. Take Care, Daniel
Ciao. Using a fork is not much of a problem with my old cast iron pans. But if you use a non-stick pan use your usual utensils that won't damage the surface.
guess what i'm going to go and make - right now! Nice Job there by the way, looks amazing, hope mine turns out lol, I think i'll start out with a single serving or 4
Love the videos Gianni. My only complaint...I wish you would put out more videos! Man I thought you had stopped doing these. Almost every day I would check for a new video until finally I had all but given up. I was just sitting here and thought I would check one last time and there was a new video! My only fear is that you go so long between videos that some folks may stop even checking in. Remember not everyone subscribes or watches these in a traditional way.
Gianni! Thank you! We’re the potatoes pre cooked/par boiled or were they raw when you put them in the pan? This is going to be the family Christmas meal!
Gianni, I made a fiittata tonite w/mushrooms, sweet red onions, parboiled potatoes, onions with garlic bread and a salad. OMG, BEAUTIFUL. I used egg beaters ijnstead of real eggs.
Caio, Gianni! Where did you get that "North Beach" T-shirt you're wearing in the Frittata DVD? That Italian stuff you fix is so damn mouth-watering! Great Job! Tom from Simi Valley
Ciao Tom. The t-shirt came from a shop that made them on Grant Ave. They closed so I'm not sure if you can still get them. I'm glad a bought several different designs while they were in North Beach. They do great work.
My Grandmother made this quite often in a cast iron pan, especially on Fridays w/o the meat. She had a knack for flipping it to cook the top side. I tried it and the frittata slid off the plate.......lol!
Gianni. If you are going to do these terrific cooking videos you may want to improve your knife skills. There are TH-cam videos available that teach great knife skills. I don't want you to cut those teaching, cooking, handsome fingers of yours.
He's relatable to primitive cooks and he's interesting to former San Franciscans who left their heart there and former European travelers. His videos are not cooking school, a cooking competition or a Master Class, Jack. You're probably a brilliant cook who has years of training and experience invested in your cooking and who is feeling unappreciated.
You are killing me, north side Syracuse, NY Italian neighborhood in 60’s-70’s you make the food of my childhood. Thank you
Ciao e grazie. I'm lucky to have friends and family who share my passion for the Italian kitchen in America. Spending time together cooking and eating is a joy.
My Grandparents lived in North Beach on Green St. I remember going shopping at Buon Gusto Market on Columbus Ave and Rossi Brothers Market. Thank you
I had no idea how to make a Frittata. I looked at about 5 different ways to make it on TH-cam before you popped up! Thank you for making such an easy recipe to follow and I loved how you showed the details up close in the cooking process! Mine turned out PERFECT Thanks to You! XOXO
Grew up making potatoes and eggs in cast iron skillet all my life great job.
We had the plain Potato/Onion/Egg version of this so much as kids. It went to school with us (just follow the trail of Olive Oil) On trips, etc. Wrapped in foil. A staple! I still love it!
My grandpa Giuseppe made it on the stovetop in a cast iron pan also. Great video. Thank you.
Italians taught the world how to eat. nothing crazy, just simple hearty meals that taste awesome. I make this all the time, I like to throw some green pepper and pancetta in as well
I'm gonna make this just the way Gianni say to make it. No one gonna stop me!
thank you Signiore Gianni! your recipes are fantastic, you. explain them nicely ,and well. love your channel, I usually do Spanish tortilla , which us basically the same but more potatoes. I'll try one like this for breakfast next Saturday for my wife.

i added zucchini and bell peppers #giannisurprise
thanks again for all the great content
If the pan looks dry add a bit of olive oil to coat the bottom before you flip the fritatta. An oil spray would work too.
You have the best voice ever! I could watch all your videos twice!
This guy is a legend. Everything he cooks looks great
Beautifu!, That is the way I was taught to make a frittata..no baking to finish..you flip it over! Flipping it over just has a much better taste.
THANKYOU , mom made this all the time and I forgot how to make it as time past ,and after seeing this I thankyou again ,best flavor of foods on the dish .
Gianni i've watched all of your videos and this dish is my favourite. I always made myself a similar dish with egg, pottato, onion and sausage. I'm going to try this one for sure. Thank you for making these videos and taking us on a journey through american italian cuisine.
Do you boi the potatoes first or just pan fry them
@@jon2xu I pan fry them. It takes some time, but they come out really nice.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Madonna mia..incredible that we speak the same language in the cucina..'I'm generous today, so I'll add all the mozzarella', 'ok, I'm gonna flip it, pray for me' Seriously though, this is exactly how my mother taught us how to make frittata and it is delishhhhhhhhhhhh. Happy I found you!! ♥
Ciao. Thanks for sticking with us. Getting more video out has been a challenge. We're looking for ways to up our production soon. Wish us luck.
In college we adapted the recipe and used french fries. We also added left over spaghetti aglio e olio. Some guys from Central America suggested using chorizo and the strong flavor worked out nicely. Nice job Gianni!
I saw on the wall by the stove, there were pics of Frieda Kahlo and Marcus Tullius the baker from Pompeii with his wife, and I liked the vid as well
Going to make that for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for a good idea and good recipe
Now that was the frittata recipe I was looking for! Eggxelent video

Ciao. Using a fork is not much of a problem with my old cast iron pans. But if you use a non-stick pan use your usual utensils that won't damage the surface.
Reminds me of a rustic omelette . I need to find some locally sources fresh Motz and Italian sausage.

Awesome!!! Thanks
Thank you! I learned I don’t have to finish broiling it.
Love the videos Gianni. My only complaint...I wish you would put out more videos! Man I thought you had stopped doing these.

Did you have to boil the potatoes first?
A work of art . new you tube follower beautiful job .
When will you have new videos up? I've enjoyed all your videos. Any chance for a risotto recipe in the future? Ciao ciao :)
Do you use raw potatoes or are they parboiled?
Gianni! Thank you! We’re the potatoes pre cooked/par boiled or were they raw when you put them in the pan? This is going to be the family Christmas meal!
He didn't say. But they looked cooked to me. A good dish to clean out the refrigerator.
I'm glad you like my videos. Grazie.
nice!!
marrona mi...luv ya gianni !!
Gianni, I made a fiittata tonite w/mushrooms, sweet red onions, parboiled potatoes, onions with garlic bread and a salad. OMG, BEAUTIFUL. I used egg beaters ijnstead of real eggs.
Gianni, why did you stop making videos??
Caio, Gianni! Where did you get that "North Beach" T-shirt you're wearing in the Frittata DVD? That Italian stuff you fix is so damn mouth-watering! Great Job!
Tom from Simi Valley
Ciao Tom. The t-shirt came from a shop that made them on Grant Ave. They closed so I'm not sure if you can still get them. I'm glad a bought several different designs while they were in North Beach. They do great work.
Ciao Mike. We will post a new video real soon. I'll put risotto on my list for future episodes. Buon appetito!
GREAT JOB THATS DINNER 4 ME TONIGHT!
very good
Superbe!
Yummm.
How bout a recipe for copanata ,
My Grandmother made this quite often in a cast iron pan, especially on Fridays w/o the meat. She had a knack for flipping it to cook the top side. I tried it and the frittata slid off the plate.......lol!
If you can't get the flip down you can finish the frittata in a hot oven. Buon appetito!
BTW I forgot to add this is the Best Frittata Recipe on You Tube!
Mmmmmmmmmm......looks GOOD!! :-9
thank you
OK more smiles are on the way.
Dear...Can you tag a pic, of Mozarella Brand, i try few and not got right, i want a good melted mozarella, please Brand o a pic..cio Gbu
Yum!!
i love the theatrics
This guy talks like how paulie talks to the italians in sopranos season 2 lmfao
Yammm
Uum Yum!!
that camera nod made me crack up
I finish my frittata under the broiler. Not good at flipping things...lol
Similar to a Spanish ommelette
Oh u're a BEAUUUUUUTY !!!!
I would 've placed it in the oven in the fry pan.
Ain't it kinda bad for pans to scratch it with a fork?
looks lovely but a frittata is not flipped over. That would make it an omelette
andyfielding56 No, an omelette is folded...not flipped. Also, an omelette is made with beaten eggs. Makes a big difference.

Jesus Christ...I thought you were going to cut your finger tips off. Who taught you how to use a knife?
Need to work on your knife skills
Gianni. If you are going to do these terrific cooking videos you may want to improve your knife skills. There are TH-cam videos available that teach great knife skills. I don't want you to cut those teaching, cooking, handsome fingers of yours.
terrible 'chef' what an amature
He's, most likely a better cook than you.
He's relatable to primitive cooks and he's interesting to former San Franciscans who left their heart there and former European travelers. His videos are not cooking school, a cooking competition or a Master Class, Jack. You're probably a brilliant cook who has years of training and experience invested in your cooking and who is feeling unappreciated.
jack, just shut up !
