Modica - Bet You Didn’t Know This Is Italy’s Most Underrated Foodie City!

[@Jill5150]

Ahhh! I love the love for Modica! It's my ancestral hometown and I got married in the San Giorgio church there! Needless to say, our guests were definitely impressed with the food. 🙂

[@edgardobassi4864]

Grazie per farci apprezzare la Piccola Italia..... che è la più meglio!

[@Dammdadi]

best city in Sicily, charm, beauty and food!

[@firefly5574]

My favourite place in all of Italy- Modica, ahhhh, just beautiful…

[@wwiggins65]

Loving the new content! Please keep it up! Italy has always been on my bucket list, in particular Sicily, and now even more so!

[@hsuanchi]

I had the arancini ragu when it just came out of the kitchen. It was probably the best Arancini I ever had. I regret that I only bought one. The egg inside is an amazing surprise. Loved it!!!

[@markatag2680]

I am in malta and you guys have opened my eyes to the many day trips we can do!!! Yummy

[@jennifer6833]

Yummerilo to the chocolate! ❤ Listening and watching him speak in Italian is truly beautiful.

[@wendylou8963]

Thanks for taking me along❤❤❤ I love watching these Italian adventures❤ I laughed at the Always Get More comment Jessi😂😂😂😂

[@deanawells4395]

My best friend growing up was from 1st generation Italian immigrants and i loved when her parents would hand make ricotta and mozzarella. Her parents made everything from scratch. The food I ate at their house was amazing. I miss her parents and all the beautiful food they made and fed me with. ❤.

[@cherylguthrie9226]

I shouldn't watch your videos before dinner - I always feel so full after watching you eating all those amazing foods! And then it makes my dinner taste so boring. But I wouldn't miss your updates for the world! Thank you for making me smile & making me dream I am right there with you! 🤩🤩

[@richarddenny5340]

Jessi is so lovely and so nice, a true southern beauty

[@josephbordonaro]

Alessio seems to be in Food Heaven in Sicily! It's fun to see him enjoy things so fully!

[@yoonztravels]

Just came back from Rome and thanks so much for your suggestions! We had pasta, pizza, and even maritozzo based on your recommendations and such a great time!!

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Hello J&A! Thanks so much for sharing your fabulous experiences!💐

[@ThePasinis]

Thanks for watching!

[@jillybean55]

Love this video - many thanks (as always) Jessi & Alessio for introducing us to this gorgeous, scenic and enchanting city - beautiful 🎶 The architecture, cannoli, granita, chocolate, savory sandwiches, everything - spectacular - amazing trip. I ordered a ‘Ciao Y’All’ T-shirt - totally cool and original greeting 😊 love it❣️

[@PolishedAfterSixtyYvette]

Thanks for taking us along; so beautiful.

[@megandigregorio03]

I love to see all your videos coming from Sicily! My family comes from Sicily, I visited for the first time this summer and am counting the minutes until I can return. Thank you!!

[@fiordaliso5762]

Da quale città della Sicilia proviene la tua famiglia?

[@lynnchamberlain781]

😍😍Ahhhh.... Italy is my dream vacation and you are proving to me that it's a worthy desire!!!

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

You guys are living the dream!

[@doccal5896]

About food, never save money, in Italy, remember!😍

[@ThePasinis]

you right!

[@rosemariediamond5948]

I recently found your channel. You are living my dream

[@revitalbergershloman8188]

I go to our fridge now to have the best french cheese we just got but it does not replace italian sun !

[@giuseppebordonaro365]

Il sole e il formaggio 😊😊

[@shavonfincher331]

Awesome!😊😘💖

[@sengarichardson1706]

So beautiful!

[@Zterch2150]

Visited those places and can really confirm that the Cannoli and the Granita in the video are simply fantastic

[@mountaingirl415]

Enjoyed every bite with you....wish we could just follow you around and eat what you eat. all so amazing and mouthwatering.

[@emilywynstra]

I really appreciate a crispy cannolo shell too! And wow, that arancino was so uniquely shaped! This video especially was so much fun to vicariously taste through you guys!

[@fiordaliso5762]

In Sicilia orientale si chiama arancino perché è a punta ed assomiglia al vulcano Etna, in Sicilia occidentale è al femminile, si chiama arancina ed è rotonda a forma di pallina.

[@shatho9137]

You guys are great at travel videos

[@lauraautry6992]

I get so hungry watching you both . I hope to visit Italy one day. Love you both 🤗🤗

[@macdougallarmygal]

Those hand gestures 😊😊😊

[@carolashton8543]

I want to go to Italy just for the chocolate and food you tried!!😊

[@eltenda]

Super video ragazzi!

[@sueannesorrentino8430]

Italy is where you are surrounded by beauty that you can see, hear, smell, touch and taste simultaneously. There is so much beauty in Italy it sometimes can feel overwhelming. It feels like your heart is about to burst. Then you need to pause, relax and it let it just flow over you and you can't help but to feel grateful for every single moment. I literally cannot wait to get back there.

[@MaryBartnikowski]

Beautifully said! I’m going next month and I’m almost crying with joy now ❤

[@gemini730lory8]

💙🙏

[@LUIS-ox1bv]

Over emotional and maudlin a bit, it seems. And its not surprising that most of these over effusive, and over the top, gushing, comes from women. People cannot survive on beauty alone. There's a reason why Italy had and continues to have a great outmigration. Ask Alessio.

[@Cr4z33_YT]

Sono italiano e vivo in Salento, ma dovevo vedere un vostro video per imparare che il cioccolato di Modica è fatto in maniera TOTALMENTE diversa da tutti gli altri cioccolati. 😅 Non vedo l'ora di fare un viaggio in Sicilia.

[@milanaammari]

Jesus be with you two❤️ I love your channel. Watched you guys visiting Sicily before I visited for the first time and it made me very excited :)

[@katush80]

😂this was fun to watch. I appreciate so much when food is painfully good.

[@doulava5293]

I just got home from a Northern Italy trip and want to go back asap for the Southern!

[@MarieL10]

I love love your videos. Such a beautiful city. I feel like I was walking along with you. Such a wonderful experience. I felt the wind and smelled the jasmine. I will watch again and again. ❤❤❤❤👍🏻🧓🏻🇺🇸Texas 23:45

[@lindsayhill7073]

This is amazing. I've never heard of ricotta cream. I love that they let the chocolate rest to gain the flavors in the tins❤❤ I am planning a huge trip with my son when he graduates so I'm taking all the notes!

[@PatriciaRoggero]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@lettievanhemert]

I always say it’s cheaper to buy more while you’re there, than to buy another plane ticket and go back.

[@kazehayaryoji3145]

Why don't just teleport?

[@cicchiamichael]

🌟🌟🌟🌟😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 making me hungry again.😋😋😋😋

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Oh you can see the crispy shell on the canollo. I have never heard of cremolata, and I must have this. I never thought of chocolate as medicinal, but it makes all kinds of sense. By now should know better than to watch you two late at night when I wasn't hungry and now I am.

[@ikeelu024]

I'm drooling. I need to go back to Sicily since the last time I went, most of it was spent of one of the islands. This next time I'm going to try to do it all. Just trying to figure out if two weeks is enough time. At least now I know where to eat, just have to figure what to do between meals lol.

[@michellekach8967]

💙🩷🫶🫶 very nice video. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@mariasammito47]

Felice di avervi avuta nella mia amata città ❤

[@augustob15]

"É uma coisa maravilhosa..." 😍😍😍😋

[@johnpope4464]

The food looks so wonderful and yummy

[@fiordaliso5762]

On sembra, è ottimooo.

[@fiordaliso5762]

Non sembra..

[@etanoox46]

Guys I'm from Sicily, I'm from a town in the center of the island. I'm so happy that you guys had the chance to eat the "Tavola Calda" (they are the Sciacce and the Arancino at the end of the video). Basically we call them generically "Tavola Calda" because it's better to eat when they are a bit warm. As Jessi at one point as spot out, the dough is special and made with the "Strutto" (a sort of lard). I live abroad and I use to bring with me a plate with 4/5 pieces of them when I fly away from Sicily. Furthermore, as you have said, it's very cheap. And Alessio, when it comes to food in Sicily, you should always listen Jessi :) One is never enough. PS. If by any chance you read this comment and you are still in Sicily, visit Agira.

[@ThePasinis]

ciaaaaaooo sono Alessio eeeeeee Modica mi ha sorpreso penso che sia la città più bella che ho visto in Sicilia! purtroppo non siamo più in Sicilia cena se nelle prossime 3 settimane usciranno ancora video sulla Sicilia! non ho copiato di più perché abbiamo mangiato tutto il giorno e mi sentivo super pieno e pensare di mangiare dopo 2 ore pesavo che avevamo preso abbastanza invece avrei mangiato altre 5 solo per me ahahahah erano buonissime da quel giorno non ho più commesso errori

[@GiGi5809]

Why do we never see Alessio’s family? Parents, siblings? That would be nice to meet them.

[@ThePasinis]

I know you right! because when we go to eat to my brother o with my dad e mom we don't film but I will do it

[@ericpmoss]

Maybe they only eat Pizza Hut. LOL

[@phillipsmom6252]

Maybe they don’t want to be filmed. Mind your business.

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

There was a few times Alessio's mom has been on Camera. Especially the time they were having the different cheeses in the rain in the backyard. His mom kept asking if they wanted to sit somewhere out of the rain.

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

I enjoyed this video 😊😊❤❤❤

[@MattSullivan-p7o]

I wanna go so bad! My wife and I are such foodies and my daughter dances when she eats something delicious. We HAVE to go!

[@annieterminetschuppon7232]

I am saving that video for a next Italian trip

[@stefanocaserta8280]

Salve ragazzi. Mi piaccioni i vostri video e amo in particolar modo quando fate vedere le cose belle che esistono nel nostro paese anche fuori dalle grandi città turistiche. Realtà come Modica ne esistono tantissime in tutta Italia. Vorrei suggerirvi anche città come Noto, Ragusa Ibla, Caltagirone (città della ceramica). Sono sicuro che rimarreste estasiati. Siete molto gradevoli da vedere. Grazie e buon viaggio.

[@dmlkcs8620]

Awww so sweet he apologized for taking too much pistachios… ❤❤❤

[@elleanna5869]

Alessio gets mystical savouring foods😁

[@ciaoatutti307]

Grandissimi, Modica non viene presa mai in considerazione da chi viene in Italia a fare i vlog, almeno voi gli avete reso giustizia

[@ThePasinis]

Modica merita tantissimo viene pubblicizzata solo per la cioccolata ma ha molto di più da offrire! spero che abbiamo onorato la città! un saluto da Alessio e Jessi

[@artep0211]

Mamma Mia ❤❤❤

[@chris6544]

The two of you should do your own tours. I would follow you like a puppy!😂

[@AsWeSpeak154]

❤ Great content. Love Alessio's accent and gesticulations. 😊

[@annazakhary949]

You guys make me hungry!

[@avonlave]

Ci sono troppi posti in Italia da visitare!

[@lemonlime137]

Thank you guys for your videos! they somehow improve my mood and i get calmer while and after watching your videos🧘‍♀ i would love to see your content guys more often and as an idea for that, Alessio's rating of in-n-out menu would be great, or let's say sharing some new recipes like lasagna or more pasta😊

[@kvonjaco]

Loved the POV segment! Hehehe

[@annebencivenga6410]

The food in Sicily is amazing ❤

[@quea722]

I can’t wait to visit Italy... you make me fall in love more with this country. by the way, what’s the name of the last shop where you bought the bread for dinner?

[@aldeonuwu2634]

please don't be fooled by tourist traps, unfortunately in Italy, in the most touristy cities there are more local traps than authentic places

[@ncw8871]

You had me at “a city famous for its chocolate”.

[@RomeoRenee]

My wife and i will be staying two nights in modica in august....is that enough? we are huge foodies. we are super excited

[@HansDelbruck53]

How can anyone hate cinnamon? It's delicious.

[@annucoco6830]

U have to many best 😮😮

[@LindaSueGarland]

Awesome, video. Very interesting. Makes me want to go back to Italy! Good music tracks, too. What camera/lens are you using for these?

[@gysmokates]

❤❤❤

[@10lauset]

Cheers.

[@artemiskarayianni]

[@mariapap8962]

I really enjoy your videos guys!What's the music you used at 6:46, as you're walking up to the Duomo,please ? Love it!

[@fabiomilieri4762]

Fate un ottima pubblicità al Bel Paese!!!💪

[@vendakansya6382]

Where did u get the last food, the scacce and arancino?

[@jerrytwolanes4659]

Does anyone have the name and address of the chocolate shop? Great video!

[@artlover7638]

Sabadi Chocolate Factory

[@lifeisnice23]

Antica dolceria Bonajuto, Modica, in province of Ragusa, Sicily.

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

Is the Ricotta there in Italy different than what we have in the US? That peach deal looks so good.

[@avonlave]

Yes it's either goat or sheep milk ricotta. Has more flavor.

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

@avonlave I was wondering. I would love to attempt to make that peach thing Jessi was having some time later at home but wasn't sure if the ricotta at my local grocery store was the same as what they are having.

[@avonlave]

@@WestTXRedneck1972I'm sure it'll still be tasty. It's not like I haven't had some delicious cannoli in the US. Just not quite as good as in Sicily! (Of course with cannoli the other ingredient that is difficult to find in the US is high quality pistachio)

[@antoniolavecchia1464]

,,,,,, e si,,,, La ricotta in Sicilia E'UNICA.,,,,, TI saluto Dalla Germania,,,, ma sono Siciliano di Caltanissetta. Ciao amico!!!!

[@EmanuelaCherubini]

Certo che è diversa ! In Italia è buonissima

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

Wait, so thats why Patrick and SpongeBob were selling their chocolates saying you could lose weight 😂🤣🤣

[@robinconn9328]

To the Mars needs to be a Tee shirt! 😂

[@angelab904]

I have traveled all over Italy in only a few hours tonight watching your videos! ❤❤😂😂

[@Linda-j2o]

Have you tried chocolate covered coffee bean? So good.😊

[@deanawells4395]

Willy Wonka must have started all his dreams there. ❤

[@jonifreise6162]

Loved the video! Enjoy following your adventures and this trip was so fun. Do you have the name and website address of the chocolate shop that has the 3 ingredient chocolate and the metal box from Kentucky? I would love to order some chocolate from them!

[@Ccamero123]

I see the Moor influence in Sicily.

[@Tulkash01]

It’s there along with the Norman, the Greek, the Roman… Sicily changed hands so many times it’s difficult to list them all

[@annieterminetschuppon7232]

I have heard while driving in Italy, some cities introduced kind of fees entering by car into a city, fees that apparently you can pre paid but if you are not aware of it or which district is subject to fees, you end with massive penalties. How to know the procedures? Any website for gathering city by city the information?

[@EmanuelaCherubini]

Nella ZT L. Cioè zona a traffico limitato.si trova al centro delle città.

[@Tulkash01]

It depends on the town or city but yes, in general there are zones that should not be entered by car unless you live there and have a permit. That’s usually the historical center of the town. And btw Italians get fined all the time for these restrictions as well. A couple of years ago I went to Verona, took the wrong turn, realized my mistake and immediately turned back. Got fined twice for passing into the same spot! 😂

[@TomboyVale]

omgggg that arancino at the end looks amazing!!!!

[@buffytargaryan7171]

Do you have a links to the chocolate shops?❤

[@mariasammito47]

Le impanatgghie...inimitabili

[@hilarystetekluh]

What are the names of the chocolate places you visited

[@johannarhymer1093]

No better food in all the world

[@DAVENT16]

why guys you didnt go to Ragusa ?

[@mikeywestside8509]

You guys remind me so much of Lucy and Desi

[@kimlund5369]

jessi what is the name of the chocolate shop I want some now.

[@giovannaalivernini1735]

You didn't taste or show the impanatigghi. Cassatine made with ground meat chocolate and spices

[@high62609]

Kind of like barrels of alcohol take on flavor...wine, whiskey etc

[@timjb3376]

I wonder if Alessio knows that Barilla the pasta he hates so much is made in Parma Italy

[@Tulkash01]

Of course he does… Barilla is literally the most commercial type of pasta you can find in Italy. It’s industrially produced and cheap. Edible, sure, but if you want to eat a really good pasta you don’t buy Barilla in Italy.

[@forearthbelow]

@Jessi, what is it with you bloody yanks?? 'I'm nervous' or scared of some foodstuff or other you are trying in a new country when they have been eating whatever it is for '00s of YEARS!!! Here in the UK it's black pudding or haggis, same 'reaction, and then you only nibble at it rather than take a BITE. They are not trying to poison you, for goodness sake!!! Other than that, I adore you 💕💕and Alessio is SUCH a lucky man, blessings on you both
