Huge thank you to my friend Caterina Torella (www.ontourwithkeit.com/) - She is a fantastic Milan tour guide, passionate about her city and loves to eat local food!
Here are all the restaurants and places we ate at, including all 10 Italian foods you have to try in Milan!

Hey mark. Just wanted to say for someone I’ve never met, you sure know how to make somebody’s day better. You’re enthusiasm, your kindness and passion for diverse recipes pours through the screen and you’re an inspiration. Thanks for the good vibes. 🤙🏾😎

[@WillMellquist]

I love Mark Wiens just because of his enthusiasm for everything he eats, and seeing him in Italy makes me SO excited because Italy has had a MASSIVE culinary influence on the world.

[@cecilharris1156]

Not only as a home cook, but a professional cook. I enjoy the excitement mark brings to the table. I would cook for him anytime. That also was a gremolata (parsley, lemon zest, garlic, maybe s&p) put in the Osso Bucco.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, appreciate it!

[@victoriabyrne4303]

and there were capers in the gremolata too.

[@cecilharris1156]

My goodness!! That veal shank with risotto looked incredible and the chef was such a character and a master in the kitchen. If I ever get to go to Italy someday, his restaurant will be my first stop.😋

[@vivekra]

Italian food is amazing, Simple yet diverse and full of flavours, color & texture. It's not just the food but also the Italian chefs who are usually interesting characters. I enjoyed Stanley Tucci's Searching for Italy which unfortunately did not continue after two seasons but this series looks very promising.

[@marc20dm]

Tucci is continuing it with the National Geographic channel.

Take a shot every time Mark says Oh Wow...😂❤😂

[@MorganDeshayes]

I'm french and I'm learning italian. All together with the language, I'm also learning about the culture and the food. I will share this video with my classmates and my teacher. 😁 I can't wait to visit Italy for the first time! 😛

[@Sugarmountaincondo]

Good show. Hire the same woman again as a tour guide, she's the bomb. Future episodes could be a Spaghetti, Pizza, Cured Meats, Wine Region and Pasta making Tour's. Segway's could be the regional differences between Northern Italy & Southern Cuisines as well as the differences between Italian & Greek Spaghetti. You could also visit some of the real pizza making oven places. Olive oil production, Tomato growing, and more Bread baking would be some other thoughts. You are by no means finished with Italy.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, much more food coming up!

[@96wtfomg]

I hope you get to experience the regionality of Italian Food at its best Mark! There are SO MANY regional specialties that it would take forever to experience just a fraction of everything Italy has to offer.

Oh wow- what an amazing chef and host. Love that they prepared perfect meals

[@erict1917]

Mouth watering food with a lovely, enchanting guide Caterina.

[@LucaAlbertalli]

Mostarda 27:25 is not horseradish gelatin. It is fruit, in your case cherries but you can get pears, apricots, clementines, etc, candied in a syrup made with water, sugar, and spices (mustard and other spices). It is typical from Verona, around a couple of hours from Milan. Also Gorgonzola is not originally from Milan (although there's a town nearby named Gorgonzola) but of Novara, around an hour to the west. Good choices of restaurants. That risotto looked very good.

[@giuseppebordonaro365]

La mostarda in Sicilia si fa anche con il mosto , mettiamo la cenere ,è qualcosa di speciale

Bella Italia best cuisine in the world my town for 7 years thanks for visit ❤ love Milano

[@ilfrigothefridge]

Mostarda in Italy is similar to that of chutney, spicy, hot, sweet and salty. Made with various fruits and mustard essence. There is an interesting story about Gorgonzola; Mr. Andrea Bertazzoni, from Mantova, went to the USSR to sell the famous cheese, thought to be a traitor and a poisoner with that mold, that he risked to end in the Gulag for attempting to poison Stalin, he managed to escape and free himself and the cheese.

[@eminemuwumangbe3077]

Welcome to my country chef andrea. It's an Honor for all Italia's

[@CarmelaPattillo]

Hi Mark! I love that you showed such a variety of Italian foods. Fantastic!

[@MsSimgo]

The one with mustard has mortadella for the cold cut. You should have put cheese on the polenta with egg and truffle, that's why they gave you the grated cheese.

[@varlav.6880]

Hi Mark, I am Italian and I would like to say that Caterina is not a very good guide for food. She said that what you had with Gorgonzola were not cherries. Actually they were, fruit mustard is made of candied fruit in a mustard-flavoured syrup. They were cherries!

[@davidetien]

Avevo incominciato ad imprecare pure io davanti alla TV

Mostarda di cremona is fruits boiled and marinated and/or preserved in a concoction that contains mustardseeds and/or mustard oil. In this case they were probably actually a type of cherry that were used as the main ingredient for the mostarda.

Spicy gorgonzola is similar to our french blue cheese names Roquefort that you have to try

[@lorenzor2555]

Yes, they have a similar look, but gorgonzola is made with cow-milk, while roquefort - I think - with sheep-milk. The “gorgonzola piccante” is definitely more spicy and “strong”. I am milanese, I like both

[@cshubs]

I love how the chef showed him how to eat it. Gotta mix it up in your mouth! I'm surprised he didn't add taking a small sip of wine, too.
