My parents came to Staten island NY from Mexico and the first job my mom had was cleaning houses, mostly rich Italian families and they all lived on the same block, or around the corner, my mom use to take me and I remember the families they were all kind and loving and always treated me and my mom with love and respect, I had authentic Italian food made by the grandmother's, they always made sure I ate, I will always cherish those moments
That’s how we’re supposed to be. We’re not always that way, but we should be. :)
i live in staten island
How long ago was that? I know when my grandparents moved here they were impoverished and unable to get jobs. Italian on one side and Irish on the other. Rich italians didn't exist in the 1920s for the most part, so I'm assuming your parents are 40ish years old?
The fact he’s wearing a white t-shirt makes me really nervous
It's no longer white.
He's confident in himself
When you got the stance you don't worry abaht it
why what’s wrong with white t shirts ? I don’t get it 🤔
@@PHILIPWATSON82 Getting it stained i suppose
Italian moonshine.
hahahahahahaha
@@cicolas_nage i would have said Grappa 😅
If you let ferment yes but i don't think is very good
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s a wrap you won the best comment award 🥇
That’s what the professionals call “Americanization” 😂
There is simply nothing better.
I thought you had to boil the jars before storing?
Now, THIS is culture. So dope. You guys should do an episode with a mexican family....it’s tamale season.
Damn it, now I want tamales
Seriously...we need more of this, culture and family. I'm so sick of the shit on vice about criminals, hookers, drug addicts and all other kinds of losers. Nobody fucking cares! These people are nobodies going nowhere and glorifying them serves no purpose.
Yo. My abuelita can hook it up with the recipie!
SIKE! lol
@rockster lmao
@@gokucrazy22 Venezuelan hallacas...
Nice to see the family scene, good memories together.
came here to say that. There ain't nothing like making sauce or canning stuff from the garden to keep the family together!
Nothing but a bunch of privileged Jews. Why recommend this Shit to me?
Crisp white tee. What a brave man.
Is this a catering company? 600lbs
@@arielmiles8208 I bet you this Jewish family mixed in 600lbs of human blood and disguised it as "tomato sauce". These Jewish elites sacrifice human children and eat them, disgusting.
No eating in class!
The last row:
lol
This reminds me of my family! Hardcore Sicilians know how to cook. We don't fuck around when it comes to the sawss.
Damn dude didnt expect you here
@Bip Nop Shut the fuck up asshole you don't get it
This is the wholesome content the world needs.
salut
All I want for Christmas is a new season of The Pizza Show
Me too ...although he went to Italy ... don't know how to follow up that trip .... very interesting ...
Amen
May the good lord of pizza be in your heart 🙏🏻
i think they goes for videos without series this year
Tbh I would like to see Frank do other Italian foods as well, more variety would be nice to watch.
Its interesting to think how a new world crop became so incorporated in a culture 5,000 miles away
@@antoniodellagringo the plant couldn't fully grow in the americas? 😅 it's from the Americas. The best tomato sauce is Mexican tomato sauce.
@@joshn7232 haha
You're right about the name, but not the reason. The reason is that tomatoes used to be all yellow, that's why we called them like that. The red colour is a result of breeding.
The ghost of Phaedrus The only parts of this that are correct is that “oro” is Italian for “gold” and the soil in Naples and Sicily is fertile. Everything else is incorrect.
@@antoniodellagringo Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) originated in Central and South America, where the Aztec and Inca people were eating them as early as 700AD. When the tomato plant reached Europe in the 16th century, it was used as an ornamental plant as the fruit was believed to be poisonous
"Geo, what are you doing?"
"i'm just finishing a cigarette"
"oh okay"
HAHAHAHA I love that lady. What a cool family.
Im a simple man. I see frank I click no notification needed.
I read single
Exactly what I did. Frank's the man
Just a simple man looking for a like
Frank is 36 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I thought he was like 28 or something
It’s all that tomato sauce- keeps him young
Italian's age well. It's all the Olive oil. 😉
ZABADOO I choked
@@angelaanonymous hes italian? I thought hes guatemalan....
Mediterranean diet, extends life.
You know when you see multiple old women sitting around cutting food for hours that the food will be banging.
My family tradition is for my dad to die and for no one to ever talk to each other because of deep resentment.
Damn
Me and my family felt like waiting for everyone to die was leaving a lot of resentment time on the table, so now we just pretend everyone is dead already.
Hahaha right on. Who needs counseling- I need a drink!
british?
Jesus fucking Christ dude keep it between you and your therapist best of luck
I love Frank, he's so genuine, passionate and so humble.
This such a nice family tradition. Also Frank’s mum is 🔥
his sister tho lol
@@llAPARTll fr hahaha
I like the cousin....
Wtf ?
His aunt thoughh📀👈
I’m from an Italian family in NY and it’s been ages since I made homemade tomato sauce or been home for that matter-23 years. All my Italian family are passed away now but this video inspired me to revive the sauce and other recipes.
Subscribed and thank you
🇮🇹 🇺🇸
Yeah man, never let traditions die!
Italian families are very similar to Iranian families. I really enjoy watching your family talking together and spending so much time together. thank you for sharing these beautiful moment of yours with us.
Munchies: You should get Frank to do a collab with Brad from Bon Apetit.
alphant1 bro shut the fuck up, it’s literally a cooking channel
alphant1 Sounds like somebody has seen exactly 2 out of a thousand BA videos.
I WOULD DIE!!!
Brad is a pretentious nancy boy, Andy would be a better collab.
Brad's gay?
I love Frank's show and it's great to see a culinary show on YT that centres around family and tradition. There's a lot of talk about "tradition and authenticity" when it comes to cooking but you don't get more traditional than this.
Secret ingredient is the drippings from the AC window unit behind the tomato juicer.
Which is just distilled water
@@riccardobianco2659 plus all the funk in the pipes
And the drippings from his uncovered armpits while stirring.
If more families did this I do believe we'd have less problems in the world. It's a beautiful sight to watch the whole family doing things together! God bless!
love seeing families working together and keeping tradition alive
god this family is wholesome. i hope they all live long, happy lives.
I am 57 and we been doing this every year since I was old enough to help. I still do this every year with the entire family. It's a tradition
Frank's sister has got the sauce 🔥
Lmaooooo
vendetta coming your way dude
searchign for this comment hahaha. WIN
NO CAP
Came back here just for the comment😂
franks father looks so proud at the end when he is looking up at frank literally makes me cry
Let's get a Frank Pinello feature on It's Alive with Brad
this is my favorite part about living in the US. all these great cultures coming together and sharing their lives with each other.
I also love how the central bank is privately owned and we owe over $20 trillion to it...
PhilosophyOfPolitics shut the fuck up
This reminds me of my memories making kimchi together back in my granny's home. Thank you.
John Roh I love kimchi! I use to hate it when I was little until I tried it at a Korean restaurant
Glad you like it yeah! Kimchi is tough to love but once you get used to it there's no going back.
BEAUTIFUL! I love how they pass things through the window. I used to have a close, tight, family. I’d love to join in on this. I bet that sauce is amazing!
This family is frickin awesome. I smiled all they way through the video.
By far my favorite video on YT right now. You really captured family, generations and tradition. Thank you!
It's amazing to see a family get together and do this, God bless your family bro🙏 hope ya will always stay together
I miss proper canned tomatoes for sauce. One of my favorite memories growing up.
It's not terribly difficult if you want to do a small batch or two. It does take some specialized equipment, though.
@@RickR69 - I agree. I really like Pomi brand. That is, when we run out of the homemade stuff.
@@sabatino1977 can't you just blanch then peel then blend the tomatoes ?
@@mohyeldin8085 - I don't see why not. But the problem I see is how to do that on a large scale. Most blenders can only handle 6 cups or so, so imagine doing that for bushels of tomatoes. Unless you had big enough container and then attach some device to a hand drill (like when mixing just a bucket of concrete). Also, the amount of time to blanch, peel then seed the tomatoes would be a lot. We do that for our peeled tomatoes, which is very labor intensive. We blanch, peel, quarter and seed them, then pack in jars with a little salt and some basil. Then boil the jars. We use them for when we want some chunkiness in a dish. Great idea, though!
@@sabatino1977 foley food mill can be great substitute for the blender. I usually find em in secondhand stores, itll get the skins and seeds out.
When I can tomatoes, I just peel them and crush them, then boil in jars. I don't bother with the seeding. That seeding takes dedication, but I'm sure its worth it.
I'm a first generation Sicilian in Toronto Ontario and you guys remind me of my family when I was a kid. Problem for me is we stopped doing the tomatoes when Nonno died. This video makes me want to start up again. You meal reminds me of home when I was a kid. Thank you for taking me back and bringing a tear to my eye.

I’ve watched some incredible videos but this makes me feel so warm and happy. Bless you Pinello family!
Summer time in Bensonhurst the smell of tomatoe sauce being made is everywhere 😋 I miss the old Bensonhurst nice to see families keeping our culture alive my family still does the same every summer
This family tradition is *SO* envious.
Could someone adopt me. Please...
I love how frank and his family have traditions like this.
I wish I had a family like this
I friggin love this! Reminds me of my family in Connecticut. Thanks for sharing Frank. You have a lovely family bud.
every year my family gets together and we pelt each other with c batteries and the person with the biggest welt on his head gets the big bottle of dr pepper. I always lean into it so I get a bigger impact on my head. whenever I win I always let my little cousin edgar get a sip
I grew up in a broken home as an only child with no real family...I love seeing things like this, it's beautiful.
Thank you for keeping tradition alive and well.....my Aunts did this back in the day....it is alot of work...but it is so worth it....I use the San Marzano tomatoes....Frank is the best....my Sicilian Brother....love his pizza show.
I love watching my heritage. My family's sauce is in the process of going back to it's routes through me. I plan to hold a family dinner 100% sicilian. It'll be wonderful.
The Pinello family: Argues as to how you cut the tomatoes. Me: *Laughs in food processor*
Love you guys... keep this tradition alive!!!! These are memories your kids will cherish for life
This is one of the best videos you’ve ever made, I feel like family. Reminds me of my Italian family. - in fact, This is one of the best videos on TH-cam. A wonderful close knit family story made into a short film. FRANK, MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ❤️💕 Italian family!
I think every Italian-Sicilian has the yellow handle type knives. They are quite possibly the best knives ever made, if you’ve used one you would know. They are table knives that can be used for everything.
vinceleto hahaha that's so true
damn guess we are missing out😂 ive been putting in work with the cleaver💪 ill pay close attention from now on to figure out for myself. grazie millè
Nahhhh, japanese knives are KING.
Darude Sandstorm Japanese knives are one of the things I look forward to buying when I can afford them
Cutco, best knives in the world
Watching this makes me homesick. I hate that I couldn’t afford to keep living in NY. Every time I visit I bring back three big coolers filled with good food. I especially miss the sausage coils. Omg the best sausage on earth.
Justme77 I feel you , born and raised in central jersey makes me miss it a whole lot
@@Straightfromshibuya fuck new Jersey
if youre in the south go find some conecuh or boudin, its amazing stuff. i do miss fresh italian sausage though, when i lived in germany we got it all the time and man it was amazing stuff.
What is a sausage coil if you grew up in Brooklyn you know it's called a chivalad
All of these people working together to make a good meal everyone can enjoy. Hard work and Mia Famiglia is all you need for a wholesome life.
Nice video! Thank you for sharing this tradition. Nothing compares to homemade jared, canned tomato sauce, simply the best greatest tradition.
Glad he explained why no basil? My Sicilian in laws they do exactly the same process except when jarring they put basil leaves in before putting on the lid !
Shoot I missed that part!
*HEY IM COOKING TOMATOES HERE*
The love and history going into this wonderful family's recipes, makes it honestly a thousand times more delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your kitchen table with us.👏👏😍
Speaking as a Sicilian, I'm so blessed to know this process from beginning to end! God Bless!🙏
The secret ingredient is, the sweat 😅
extra salty
David C and cigarette stained fingers.
@@CANControlGRAFFITI hahahahahahaha fuck that just did me in!
Man this reminds me of home so bad. Haven't been back to Brooklyn in ages.
Oh to be an Italian grandma calmly cutting tomatoes.
Something I see in the Italian culture is that family is always present for everything. Good video beautiful tradition. God bless you all!!
That sicilian tatoo tho LOL so dope! Cheers from Sicily!
They didn't boil the jars after filling them. That is what creates the vacuum seal. Were they boiled off camera ?
I was wondering the same thing..
Jack Twist often if the liquid is hot enough and then stored cool, it can create its own seal. The sauce is very much steaming when they jar it. It’s not as foolproof as boiling the jars is but if you know what you’re doing it’s safe.
@@TheMegadonutking Thanks for the clarification. It does make sense as the sauce was jarred hot. Thanks again Aidan !
No need to boil the jars. After filling and sealing the lid, we flip them and stand the jar upside down and let it sit like that overnight to cool. Works like a charm.
Never seen it done like this before. My family always boiled the jar's/lids before and the after filling. However I don't think anyone canned near 200 jar's at time in my family.
I love this. An entire family working together. Brilliant.
What a beautiful family and tradition. Really enjoyed watching this.
This reminds me of my family. My family is of German heritage, and we all get together to make sausage a few times a year, often with wild game we’ve taken throughout the year. It’s one of my most cherished family traditions!
That window beside the bbq is convenient.
I miss my family we did stuff like this all the time.
This reminds me of my grandmother's house, may she rest in peace. She lived on Bay 49th. THIS is the real stuff-I remember stuff like this from when I was a child.
A good family, wishing you all the best Frank.
man i wish my family was like this still
That lot of tomate
indeed.. the big tomate
I'll watch anything with Frank Pinello in it. He's just so wholesome.
loved every minute of this
The whole block must smell amazing.
The secret of a great family is to cook together! 🍅 🍅🍅✨
Brings back happy old memories, God bless your family bro
Ok, i'm loving the whole video and then boom, a drink gets handed to the grill man working the eggplant through the window at the 8:33 mark. brilliant.
Lol I thought my Italian family in Canada were the only ones who did this 🤣🤣 gotta put the basil in the jar tho
if Frank's sister is still single I am happy to marry into the family😂
This is so dope. Love watching other cultures versions of ‘full family cooking’. Should do a segment on Chinese family and making wonton.
I am 55 and my famiky does this every year fot as long as i can remember. My parrents did this also as chkldren. A tradition that has been going on for generations. Cant beat the taste of home made sauce
There's a blog entry about an Italian family living in Australia, I think they lived in Perth. Every year, the family get together, some from out of town, to make the passata. They used dark glass bottles that they brought themselves and used from previous year, I think. It was lovely.
If reincarnation is real ill put in for a happy Italian family.
I’m Italian by marriage. They spend most of their time screaming at each other, but they are happy :)
Every single thing about this is awesome. Life is good.
My Barese family has been doing the same thing for generations. Did 700+ lbs this year. 14 bushels. Used to do it in an alley in Bensonhurst at one time too, until the immigration to Staten Island. I'm 35 now. This warmed my heart.
I love Frank and the Pinello family. I’m longing for another season of The Pizza Show.
Until then, I shall enjoy anything I can get with Frank!
I feel this on a spiritual level... Same stuff goes down here and I'm 14 doin the same stuff with my family haha
Beautiful vídeo! Thank for this, Frank
the sense of family is awesome and the memories will last lifetimes!
I can’t wait to get to his Pizza joint and feast
guy: cores tomato, and takes almost no extra tomato
girl: "LoOk HoW mUcH yOuR cUtTiNg OfF tHaT yOu DoNt NeEd To!! WaTcH aNd LeArN!!"
girl: hacks off top of tomato, along with 5-10% of the tomato
@@Psyminds psy "baby momma" minds
Thanks for letting us share in the family tradition! Salute!
This is the most wholesome videos on TH-cam. This is what we need to get back to.

Frank, you have the bandana on the wrong side.
It's as if you've never heard Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg and Pharrell
LMFAO he's from New York he don't know
We need the pizza show season 3
I love everything Italians put together , & the food yum the best there is , thank you for sharing
Very informative and fun to watch. Thanks to you and your family for sharing
