Alessandra is so dedicated to her culinary craft that she works a full schedule at age 73. She is so inspiring that she is so dedicated to her art! These are the places that I look for when I travel to other countries.
fantastic video, the Neapolitan, Vincenzo, was my father, who unfortunately died on August 19th, I swear that when I saw this I burst into tears ..... Hi Papa Vincenzo, your son Pasquale !!
I enjoyed this video immensely, Mary Jane. I've not been to Italy as yet, but hope to make a trip there. Venice is definitely a city I'd like to experience, and I love the Italian language. Thanks for this post!
Brilliant video. This really captured the real human side of Venice and a real passion for cooking and making people happy. Kudos for the great video and story.
We ate here in October and it was amazing. Very easy to find behind the Accademia and cheap. Everyone was friendly and it's a good place to go for a snack while exploring the back canals of Venice. Directly across from this location is one of the last remaining gondola makers. Well worth a visit and you won't be disappointed!
All very accurate Patrick. I will only add that it is only cheap if compared to touristy spots, but as for local places it is absolutely average. I hope that if this video will bring any new customers, they will at least say hi when they enter and try to have a chat with the people behind the counter. That's how you show respect in such a place.
Very good video, thank you! We will be in Venice next month for 10 days to just relax and enjoy the dolce far niente 😊. It will be our first return visit since before the pandemic, and I hope all of our favorite places (like this one!) survived the past few years. An osteria for cicchetti will be the very first stop 🥂🧡
Fantastic video Mary Jane! I loved your interview with the widow in the Osteria! You can see how passionate she is working preparing her Venetian delicacies.
Love The Tidbits The Lady Was Making That Inspires Me To Buy Some Italian Cheeses, Cold Cuts And Nice Italian Focaccia Bread! Buon Appetito! Good Video!
Great video. Have been to Venice several times for a week each time. I will bet we walked by the shop and didn’t even know it existed. Hearing the locals speak was great!
Thank you for going to an osteria in Italy. There are actually Italian food stores in the large big cities in the USA that have foods imported from Italy. I want to return to one of those stores soon.
Amazing video. I’ll be traveling throughout Italy with a group of 15 and our final stop in Venezia. This helped a lot on what to do and see 😃 Greetings from Mexico.
Another wonderful video. I watched it while enjoying my own homemade bread and toppings. Some of the same as displayed in your video. I only wish I could purchase her book!
THIS, rather than pizza or pasta bolognese, is what one should seek out in Venice! You have to get out of San Marco and to the other side of the canal in Accademia to find Schiavi. Unfortunately, too many who visit Venice fail to explore the areas away from San Marco. Schiavi is tops for cicchetti.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Reasonably well. One of my very favorite restaurants is Al Covo which is in Castello. I'm in the US (Philadelphia suburbs & NYC) but have a home in Lunigiana (Pontremoli). I was the one that replied with a post on the falò (2) that occurs in Pontremoli in January. One challenge is to get visitors to Italy to see more than the big 3 (Rome, Florence & Venice). Fact is there isn't really one Italy, it's a mosaic of a 100 little Italy's all with their own cuisine and language (forged over time when most people, in their life, didn't travel more than 50 km from where they were born). The infinite of Italy isn't a product of its largeness but of its intimacy. And seeing, feeling and learning that micro Italy requires one to match the tempo of the country, to slow down and to understand la dolce far niente. Unfortunately, that's hard to market. And it certainly doesn't fit into 10 days and 5 cities...
Jiri Nechleba Such beautiful words you wrote. And thanks for reminding me your previous comment. I think you’re one of the very few people who understands the essence of Italy. As for the fact that it doesn’t market well...I don’t know, with my videos I kind of market it, but at the same time I’m not that sorry that the real sode of it is hard to market, because mass tourism inevitably ruins everything.
Schiavi is my favourite bacaro in Venice (along with All'Arco!) I've been to Venice 4 times and always visit both places. So good! and this is a lovely video. Grazie mille Mary Jane 😊
I think Mary jane given up saving and started of spending spree, My favorite one is the anchovies with pickled onions, next to the artichoke hearts. When i was backpacking many moons ago we would never afford this canapes, we used to sleep at the venice train station with other backpackers and buy food from local grocery shops and make our own sandwiches, oh then used to window shop for a dessert. Good old days.
I have no money to spend on so much food, this was offered to me. When I go to Venice by myself I usually get two cicchetti and a glass of wine, that makes for 4 euros and totally worth it.
I feel intimidated by my complete ignorance of Italian, plus as someone with social anxiety it is sometimes hard for me to walk into a shop and say hello, but this video really makes me want to do it!
L'ente turismo di Venezia dovrebbe come minimo premiarti per questo splendido video. Comlimenti. The Venice tourist board should at least reward you for this splendid video. (kisses from Vicenza)
Thanks for the tip! Looking forward to eat at this place in September. You have a great way to present this place. Very complete video! I did capture a certain negativity in regards to tourists though. It should be said that tourism and tourists have kept Venice alive and thriving, and supported all these small businesses in good shape. And it's mostly tourists that are watching your videos. If one tourist complains about children playing ball, doesn't mean all tourists are like that. We're also a very diverse group. ;)
The negativity is not about tourists in general, but rather to a system that promotes massified tourism. The average tourist in Venice nowadays wouldn't even visit unless they're allowed to take selfies in front of each famous place, that's the problem. There are also many tourists who are genuinely interested about the real culture and the history of Venice. I'm sure you're one one the latter and I'm glad you're going to visit this osteria. Tell them I say hi!
Good video. It was nice to hear their stories and watch you chow down. It sounds like I may have to practice rolling my R's before this series is over.
hah i noticed the campari on the counter ,the video is now official dont worry about the old man, he is just exhausted and was confused when you were filming. that tuna horseradish sounds good with some votka
Wow, y'all eat some Good Eats in Italy. That's why I think you would really enjoy the deep South Mary Jane. Southern Food and Hospitality are real. I'd recommend Chattanooga, TN or Charleston, SC. 😀
In the deep southern part of the USA. Food is a huge part of our Culture. Just like what I'm seeing in your videos about Italy Mary Jane. I now live in Phoenix, AZ with my girlfriend. However, I do miss the food and hospitality of the South. My girlfriend Rachelle loves to eat and that's one of my favorite things I love about her. Rachelle's Passion for food. Rachelle and I met at a fast food restaurant. Who said nothing good comes from fast food. :)
A long time ago someone gave me strawberry wine from this place! I still remember it. I wrote down the name and when my friend went to Venice I told him to go there. He loved it too. When I saw the name above the door I thought what are the chances! haha. One day I will make it there.
I have never been adventurous with food, but I will be going to Italy in a month and specifically Venice for 3 days and hope I can get better eating things like these! I would love to try new food
Hi , This is Shailendra Khairnar.. .portrait artist from India. I have had exhibition of my portraits in many parts of the World. Did projects and exhibitions of some of the most famous people on this planet. Michael Jackson, Football Legends Pele, Maradona, Roberto Carlos, Zico and many more have appreciated my art. Had exhibitions in many parts of Europe but never in Italy. This summer trying to have exhibitions in Italy. Country full of Culture, Architecture, artists, Actors and so many Football greats. Thanks for this beautiful video.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Thanks ! Not one Exhibition ( Project). Few which includes. Mother Theresa and Pope Francis exhibitions in the Vatican City. Some Football Players especially the greatest ever Goal Keeper Gianluigi Buffon and Paulo Maldini. Sofia Loren and Monica Bellucci as well.
fantastico video , il Napoletano, Vincenzo, era mio padre , che purtroppo e deceduto il 19 agosto, giuro che quando ho visto questo sono scoppiato in lacrime .....Ciao Papà Vincenzo, tuo figlio Pasquale!!
I absolutely have to go there one day. I just love to see peoples culture around the world. You did a fantastic video here and I can tell this is your thing.. Maybe you can hit up Texas one day.. Great food great people! Isnt that what its all about? 💙
Grande Signora De Respinis.... Brava Ea, e tuti i so fioi, che i porta'vanti a Tradixion Dea Republica Granda ! Gloria a S.Marco... Gloria ala Serenissima
What a shame Mary Jane Thanks for the reply, I just found your channel and really like it. I’m born and raised in Brooklyn and still live here. It’s cool to see you having a good time in neighborhoods and areas of the city that I regularly take for granted. I hope I can get to Venice one day. ✌🏻
@@mitchfrombrooklyn7317 Uh welcome to the channel Mitch! I know what you mean. I used to give everything for granted about my home area too. I hope you'll visit Venice one day, taking your time and getting to know the local culture! :)
I've been TORTURED by Mary Jane!!! How dare you show us so much good food (and wine)? Knowing that we can not have it and have to watch you empty the plates in front of our starving stomachs!? Shame on you, Mary Jane! Seriously, a great video. You're making Venice almost tempting, in spite of all the tourism problems... Being Italian, you are fortunate that you can easily mingle with the local people. Great video. The intro was outstanding!
Speaking Italian is definitely a big advantage, but most of locals can speak English and as Alessandra said, they appreciate when foreigners talk to them and try to make a bond. While we were shooting she made me notice that she said "buongiorno" to every single person coming in, but 90% of them didn't even respond back, because most of the tourists just don't care about the people, all they want is to get their food and their drinks.
You!!! Thank god you commented, I was looking for your text on Instagram since a week but it somehow disappeared from my inbox and couldn't remember exactly your name. There will be more content about Italy and also about food in the next couple of months 😉
Jessica Wu Good idea. It’s a too big topic for one video though. Also, I should go to the places that have a good tradition of pasta, which are not in my plans at the moment. That’s for artisanal pasta though. For the moment I might make a simple video about the everyday pasta that modern Italians eat, which is the one you buy at the supermarket. I see that foreigners are very confused about it and have quite a few misconceptions.
I used to go to Venice 7 or 8 times a years....and for many years. I don't get to do that anymore. I miss Venice greatly. I will go back someday. I need to find this shop....oh wait, I typed the first bit of this before finishing the video. I don't want to be part of the problem. Venice is way too overrun with tourists.
Venice needs people who truly care about it. If you're one, you should visit as often as you want. In the next months I'll show you ways you can support its inhabitants who really care about the city and don't want to squeeze as much money as they can out of what they simply inherited.
@@WhatashameMaryJane I do so much want to go back. I'm crying as I type this. I feel so lucky to have been able to get to know Venice as well as I do. I dearly miss the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, truly a special place on this planet. I miss my favorite pizza place, Trattoria Pizzeria Da Mamo. I miss the backwater canals that tourists dare not go to. Venice is such a special place, it pains me that it is overrun by clueless tourists. I know the history. Why was Venice even built in the first place? To escape the hordes of invaders from the north. I really should go back soon, improve my Italian, and try to help Venice remain what it is, a jewel for humanity.
Okay, last comment. No cruise ships in Venezia! They are ruining the water level and the culture. Stop it! Spend at least a couple of nights there. It is SO worth it! 😍
NY does have great quality food, but indeed, the Italian Mama, and the old school European are the expert at creating such wholesome and homemade yet luxurious cusine. Very impressed!
Cris Yorke Honestly I think the main difference is in the ingredients. I think being a good cook in NY must be so much more difficult than in Europe, cause the quality of the ingredients is so low, that in order for a dish to actually have a good taste you must be a magician
There are fresh ingredients throughout America, and in NY. Though I would say that one has to look around for that. It also depends on ones understanding of what constitutes good quality ingredients and ones tastebuds.
Help! I can't watch this. Only Italy that knows the science of combining what is best for our palette in its simplicity. Left the country 2 years ago after decades of living there. That's what I miss the most.
I didn't put it just because I thought that Patreon is something people who already know me well would register to, whereas I think this video will reach people who have no idea who I am. But you're right, I should put it anyways and I will in a moment.
I have been there "Al botegon" many times in my life. They had 2 litres bottles of Pinot Grigio from the island of San Erasmo which was delightful yet very cheap. But seeing you having all those cichetti made me suffer .... it felt like a food porno film. Thank you nontheless
E fai bene, perché sarebbe una cosa magica. Gennaio-febbraio fino a prima del carnevale è assolutamente il momento migliore, altrimenti anche novembre è abbastanza tranquillo.
@@WhatashameMaryJane ma di dula ses tu? e iust par suggeriment spiete la fieste che fasin a gurize gusti di frontiera che mi par le occasion par coniugà la fiesta par la cittat ( culture mondial) cun nova gorica mangià e se propri ti capita un giurut pa li aziendis del vin dal collio da corno a s.florian .
interesting to hear the change of the last 30 years ... beyond a certain limit tourism leads to the destruction of the social relations of a city and its customs

As a frequent traveler I concur, eat, drink, dance, converse where the locals are. As long as you’re respectful they’ll embrace you!

Bellissimo video-intervista! Ancora complimenti per la delicatezza con cui racconti le storie!!! Posto da visitare certamente!!!
Grazie :)
Hi! I was in Venice once, and while trying to take breakfast by 9am I was told that croissants hadn't arrived yet! :)
Hey! What do you mean by that?
@@WhatashameMaryJane Hi! I found it peculiar and very funny - they were made outside Venice - just that!
the food looks so very good and it looked like you ate one of everything in the store!
Oh noooo you have no idea how many different cicchetti there were to choose from. That was nothing!!

Lovely video. You truly showed us the venician vibe. 😊 Keep those videos coming.
Thanks Elias.
Very interesting! Thank you!!
Wow, y'all eat some Good Eats in Italy. That's why I think you would really enjoy the deep South Mary Jane. Southern Food and Hospitality are real. I'd recommend Chattanooga, TN or Charleston, SC. 😀
I definitely need to try that one day. Cause already in the North East of the US people are so friendly, but no hospitality connected to food there!

Delicious video MJ!
Love this look into Venetian culture! And you used the same song I used in the Grand Central Desserts video :D I love Haydn's music
Oh I didn't realize that. Well out of all the Epidemic Sound library, we have good taste 😉
Yes, Haydn is wonderful, but the music Mary Jane chose for this video was from Dvořák's String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96 ;-)
Wonderful. Great info.

I really should go back soon, improve my Italian, and try to help Venice remain what it is, a jewel for humanity.
Fleck Smugbrother I encourage you to do so 🙂
Okay, last comment. No cruise ships in Venezia! They are ruining the water level and the culture. Stop it! Spend at least a couple of nights there. It is SO worth it! 😍
Well said, thank you for this :)
The food is very exquisite. Looks luxurious and expensive to me.
It's not a cheap place for sure, the main dishes were between 15 and 23. Although in NY I would never get this quality for the same price..
NY does have great quality food, but indeed, the Italian Mama, and the old school European are the expert at creating such wholesome and homemade yet luxurious cusine. Very impressed!
Cris Yorke Honestly I think the main difference is in the ingredients. I think being a good cook in NY must be so much more difficult than in Europe, cause the quality of the ingredients is so low, that in order for a dish to actually have a good taste you must be a magician
There are fresh ingredients throughout America, and in NY. Though I would say that one has to look around for that. It also depends on ones understanding of what constitutes good quality ingredients and ones tastebuds.
nice video nicely made 😃
Thanks Richard!
But great interview
Thanks
Help! I can't watch this. Only Italy that knows the science of combining what is best for our palette in its simplicity. Left the country 2 years ago after decades of living there. That's what I miss the most.
If I would want to sign up for Patreon then I would miss the Patreon link here ;-)
I didn't put it just because I thought that Patreon is something people who already know me well would register to, whereas I think this video will reach people who have no idea who I am. But you're right, I should put it anyways and I will in a moment.

I have been there "Al botegon" many times in my life. They had 2 litres bottles of Pinot Grigio from the island of San Erasmo which was delightful yet very cheap. But seeing you having all those cichetti made me suffer .... it felt like a food porno film. Thank you nontheless
ahah!
Cheers！
Ho sempre sognato di fare una notte a Venezia fra aperitivi e città quasi deserta...
E fai bene, perché sarebbe una cosa magica. Gennaio-febbraio fino a prima del carnevale è assolutamente il momento migliore, altrimenti anche novembre è abbastanza tranquillo.

interesting to hear the change of the last 30 years ... beyond a certain limit tourism leads to the destruction of the social relations of a city and its customs
Yes. Mass tourism is literally destroying the city of Venice. I'll talk about it in future videos. It's a very delicate topic.
