[@awightman1221]

Amazing. Give me more

There Is a password?

[@marcosgarcia-3696]

Can we get the password... trying to buy tickets?...

[@dianaf3250]

turned out awesome , and true that's what sunday supper is about people!! Well said

[@TriangleTrinity]

I have corporate job right now that I hate. I cooked in restaurants for 12 years and those were some of the best years and most fun I had in my life. I think I’ll quit and start my food truck I’ve always wanted to do. Thank you for inspiring me and reminding me how good life can be when your job is actually fun. Cheers brother

[@nomad5709]

Man I think doing the same thing every day

[@taravaotahiti]

Best wishes for your food truck to be a great success!

[@sammyb3104]

Good luck on your adventure im sure itll be a crazy ride

[@familylivesmatters]

Lol we talk about food truck dreams at least once a night on the line where I’m at. One day

[@jasmineblocker103]

Having worked in corporate office jobs and on food trucks. If you have the opportunity to get a food truck do it! The best times of my life were had. Life is too short. Do it!!

[@jonzi5]

God, videos like this are why I love this channel. No offense to other cooking youtubers, but there's something unique about you. Your culture shines through in each and every video.

[@derekjohnson8910]

He's passionate without acting like a caricature or a cartoon character, like a lot of food tubers seem to be. This guy's the real fucking deal.

[@TanukiSC]

So well said - this channel is absolutely amazing and as real as it gets.

[@jasonwe6er]

It’s crazy that after watching him for 10 minutes I know exactly what you mean

[@tornagawn]

I’ve spent the past few months trying to learn to cook the 4 classic Roman pasta dishes. Cacio e pepe was my first, so simple in concept, but it is all in technique.

[@aesoprockslig]

He’s definitely not another cooking show. He’s Magnificent

[@delraybrooks8484]

As a retired chef all I can say is “ Bravo “! You have captured the essence of what it is like hosting an event completely…. The editing and filming is a work of art! A treat to watch. You should submit this for an Emmy! Well done!

[@CubensisEnjoyer]

"A good laugh can snap you out of a funky mood real quick" I don't know why, but this gave me chills and made me flash back to all of the times this has been true for me. That situation arises a lot in the service industry and I've seen both sides of it, you either have good people around you and you get through it or you don't and things just don't last long.

[@maviahkhan4410]

I have been watching the channel for almost 3 years now and this is probably one of the best videos you have ever made Stephen.

[@condor7001]

It's refreshing that you thank the camera man, they're so critical to the video but they're never even acknowledged by a lot of food youtube. Respect

[@philiegolf48]

I'm a classically trained professional Chef for over 27 years in London Uk. To see you strive for perfection whilst keeping the essence of traditional food with some twists, to always cook with love and passion for the ingredients is very dear to my heart also. I love your channel and watching your videos is truly inspiring brother, i love traditional french and italian cuisines. When i watch you cook i see you get it, food is love ❤ keep up the great content my man. Phil in a kitchen from the other side of the pond 🇬🇧💥✊🏼

[@gforsythe1]

As a former restaurant worker in NYC, this really made me reflect so much on the better parts of that hard work. Unbeatable feeling to have such a tight crew, undeniable dedication to the food, the madness and joy of doing the impossible to make a whole bunch of people happy. Really excellent video!

[@aslansalive]

The trenches, baby! It's an odd mix, the love for doing this and the anxiety it produces.. made me miss my days in a kitchen. Great idea, executed well! Hats off to all those who worked to pull it off. Some real pros in that kitchen!

[@AznVi3tx]

Props to the cameraman. He seems like a very discrete person, and in being like that he is able to capture very raw moments where people almost forget he is there.

[@kimtae858]

Dude, this was an entire full-length reality show you put on here. Family, drama, intensity, food, and personal growth were all present and accounted for beautifully. Amazing work to you and your entire team on this. I hope you got a good long nap in after all that! Also your bacon and onion dip is the bomb, makes for fantastic spread on paninis too.

[@wildheart5116]

What I love the most is that everyone in the kitchen cares equally. They all have the same mindset of the food being as close to perfect as possible, and anything lesser than is unacceptable. There’s no “asshole boss” telling disgruntled employees what to do along with bitching among coworkers. Admirably authentic ❤️

[@Iverald]

I'm just a home cook, but last November I made burrito chilli con carne for 60 people in my small studio apartment kitchen. All from scratch, except the tortillas. I've rarely felt more alive when scrambling to get everything right. Needless to say, I based it heavily on your chilli recipe. Thank you for being a great inspiration.

[@zeex5029]

kurwa ale melanż

[@angelocarantino4803]

Dude that sounds amazing! Good job 0w0

[@lindalove7193]

What!??? Store-bought tortillas? How could you??? 😉

[@OltrePodcast_Official]

in a studio apartment? where did the 60 people fit??

[@Iverald]

@@OltrePodcast_Official I cooked in a studio apartment. The party was in a venue.

[@Jan-qq9xc]

Who in their right mind would own a restaurant and have everyone eat at the same time. I’m exhausted just watching you for 30 minutes. You’re right about one thing-it takes special people for sure!

[@k.toffellampe869]

Absolutely insane! I’m already stressed making more than 10 servings at once…

[@Rippers-TV]

Ever been to a wedding? haha

[@Jan-qq9xc]

@@Rippers-TV Yes, OK. But not in a long long long time. I have trouble just cooking for myself. 🤣

[@RetNemmoc555]

Good point about serving everyone. You have to admire the always-scaled-up operations in catering, cruise ships, mining camps, institutions and corporate dining rooms, who employ talented and competent chefs and staff, for keeping this kind of stuff up every day of the week.

[@teeeff8337]

Sounded like the tables were each being served one table at a time until everyone got their food. That’s how all restaurants work. Food tickets to the kitchen never stop. Only difference here is they are feeding everyone the same dishes, with no modifications, which actually makes it easier. Not to take away from anything they did here, it’s still a challenge. Just pointing out that any busy restaurant basically has to feed everyone at the same time.

[@Brad.T]

You guys captured the feeling of a professional kitchen very well. It gets hectic, things go wrong, people get stressed, shout and even argue sometimes, but in the end you always finish with a shot of something and a laugh!

[@pattygardner231]

Made me so homesick for Sunday spaghetti at mom’s. Mom from Naples, dad from Sicily. My mom and her braciole, dad made his own sausage, and they both made a sauce to die for. I’m old now, 75, and they’re all gone, ...aunts, uncles, mom and dad. Lost my sweet sister. Two brothers are still alive, canning peppers, making sausage, growing fabulous gardens, keeping traditions alive. Loved watching your show. You have a fabulous idea. Stick with it.

[@edpoints1127]

Sit back and look at the whole production and process. You really, really appreciate how much of a "pro" grandma was! She made it look easy. Lots of love in every stir of the pot and it never mattered how many extras showed up, grandma had enough. Sometimes not enough matching plates, good people understand. 100% correct about being all together as a family and friends. I miss those days, values, respect, non-instant gratification etc. Great video... I could fill 10 pages with comments.

[@newbluerugby]

This is romance. The inside of a working kitchen, a fisherman’s life, a soldier’s overseas tour…. Soul-filled lives. This is what they write songs after: Bittersweet experiences, loathing to be done with, that will never be regretted. This is living

[@appetitelife]

This is the best example of an expose of the world behind the kitchen door that I’ve ever seen. It felt as if we were in your head throughout - the pace, the sound, the emotion. You captured it all - but it all fell into place just right. Well done to everyone involved in the production of this, you’re all geniuses.

[@TheUniverseOfMine]

I honestly teared up by the end of the video my man. That feeling of people appreciating your food & remembering the good things that happened behind the scenes. It’s a treasure

[@anatindig-peddicord4543]

Me too!!!

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

I’ve become a big fan of the channel my man. Well done. This was a hell of a watch brother, lots of work put into it. Well done my friend.

[@MMAGamblingTips]

And I’ve become a big fan of your channel! Although you offend me for no reason. 😉

[@Scottjf8]

Where you been?

[@SauceStache]

This was a really great watch man!! Felt more than KZbin.... Great editing, great story! Really awesome all around man Great job

[@Batles1909]

Team up with Steven and make great meatless balls🤓

[@NippleSauce]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It kinda reminded me of some of the Gordon Ramsay stuff that I've seen on both television and on KZbin. Makes me wanna go to this place since I'm nearby and have watched some of his videos to make some good food. With food, us Italians all want the same shit-and you're doing it extremely well!

[@SenpaiKai9000]

Damn that was badass to watch!

[@fabdiva9]

watching this made me cry a little. seeing the love you guys have for the food and for the people eating it made me emotional. i love this channel so much and thank you for always striving to bring us something amazing. i hope to catch the next sunday supper ❤️

[@kerripaul2562]

My grandma would’ve absolutely LOVED what your learned from this experience! And I agree wholeheartedly… it’s the people, the experiences, the memories… that’s what’s most important. Thank you for the much needed reminder

[@EstherConort]

This was just so well done! Raw and real, it gave the feeling of being right there with you. The camaraderie and passion everyone in that kitchen had was palpable. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with all of us! ❤

[@Guitargate]

This was AWESOME BROTHER! So great to see the crew work together. So similar to the working band scene. Thanks and keep going!

[@adjustableisland8806]

Grandma would be proud, this is an amazing restaurant experience you put together. I would've been so damned contented by the end of it -- but I'm betting those dinners weren't cheap. Those cookie tins at the end showed so much care, really echoing a grandma's love and attention.

[@sharoncraven9802]

I miss my Grandma’s Sunday supper, she made it look easy but now when I do it I truly appreciate her hard work and the love she put in to the family meal. I hope my kids have great memories of my cooking for them like I do of my Grand-mom ❣️

[@joevales6775]

Thank you Stephen for sharing THE EXPERIENCE of Sunday Supper. Nostalgia, Family and Joy. The Portuguese word is "Saudade". Blessings.

[@teletubbiestunetwister9570]

Your realization, not unlike the Grinch's, that Sunday dinner means a little bit more gave me the feels. Your heart grew three sizes that day. Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes. I tip my hat to those who prepared the meal... and those who do all the dishes!

[@jimloesel2849]

That’s exactly what I thought. Maybe -Christmas- Sunday Supper does not come from the -store- kitchen. Maybe it’s a little bit more and the people are what makes it special.

[@liahfox5840]

We're Sicilian, and my mom owned a catering business for about 30 years before retiring. I can feel that nostalgia while watching most of your videos. 🥰

[@bostonceltics727]

This was SO COOL to watch. I cook a lot for my friends and family, 8-10 people is enough for me lol. Really great job Steve & Crew.

[@GOODNOIGHT]

I used to cover anywhere from 100-350 covers in a night when I was in the business. Restaurant working is a swashbuckling, stressful and chaotic environment. You either thrive or you fail.

[@trevors.5998]

The truth kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap2qq3x5l715ibc 😊

[@theloudhouse122]

Shoot I'm coming over next time you cook. 😂

[@Dehangus]

@@GOODNOIGHT Yeah man, my restaurant hit a record of 700 covers on new years, it was insane.

[@Dehangus]

Needless to say I quit my job after that

[@slvstrlovr]

I loved this video so much, being able to see behind the scenes and the inner workings of a full kitchen is incredibly cool and reminds us to appreciate those busting their butts to provide a warm and satisfying meal. Sunday Supper looked fire!

[@baginhand9721]

I’m guilty of making hosting about the night going absolutely perfect that by the time guests arrive, I regret ever inviting them over and just want to crawl into bed. Loved the little nugget at the end.

[@chickencoop4thesoul]

Are you freaking kidding me?! This was amazing! I love the way you were able to tell a story and showcase your event in this video. Loved seeing your brother in there with you in the trenches! Restaurant life is rewarding, fun, and often times stressful! The best way to cope through it is lots of laughs. I can’t wait for your video on the next Sunday dinner you host! Congrats on the success of the first one. I hope the next is even better!

[@bettyallen4121]

I loved this we cook supper for 4 nights at our family reunion this reminded me of us. We teach the younger ones so they can take over we we no longer can. We also cook a big breakfast with biscuits, bacon, sausage,eggs and gravy. We have from 75 to 120 each year. We have an auction of homemade crafts to pay for the food.

[@Vespiion]

I appreciate so much the human element, which takes center stage in all of your works. I empathized with the anxiety you experienced preparing to introduce the menu, and it was so rewarding to watch everything come together. Bravo 👏

[@raviamodernepic]

Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of running a service! Watching stuff like this always makes me appreciate my food more 🙏🏾

[@clashwithkeen]

Dude I love this. The inside look of the process, struggles and communication in a kitchen. It feels real and raw. So different than the normal fabricated drama you see in typical "behind the scenes" style cooking shows. Better than 99.9% of what you see on television productions with the quality equally matched. I love your normal videos but this one got knocked out of the park and blew me away. Cheers! 👏

[@andrewwaters9861]

one of the neatest vids I've ever seen. Been a fan for awhile and always wondered what it would look like to see you in a restaurant setting. Strange to say but almost feel proud of you in a funny way. Love seeing the whole crew work together, you can feel the love in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing

[@evhfan]

This was so cool to watch. Like others have said, there’s a unique quality to your channel that others do not have. You really have a knack for captivating video production. Learned a lot watching this, thanks man

[@steeno629]

The patience, communication and compromise in this kitchen is remarkable. Bravo to the whole squad!

[@neutralzone77_2.0]

man, this whole experience was beautiful. you are truly an artist . Thank you for sharing your passion and gift

[@Marionpm1]

What a great concept. Like Nonnas House on Sunday. I love it. Blessings to all of you. You did this right.

[@veemarienew]

You deserve so many more subscribers than you have! I feel like you're an undiscovered gem. I've been watching you for years and I love all of your techniques. I pray that you prosper. Cuz your dishes are where it's at

[@jonmsimpson]

Awesome video, your content keeps getting better. This episode really made me miss the decades I put into the crazy chaos of professional kitchens. Seeing the stress and panic on your face, the wash of relief as things work out in the end and all your guests seemed truly happy with their experience. That's what it's all about.

[@andresm2554]

This was a dope episode bro. You and your crew really handled business. Must’ve been a real treat to be there. Congrats on a successful night and hopefully more to come.

[@luciennedespota909]

Steve, it seems that this was all of what you said, plus "the Italian grandma" as maybe a quickly fading concept. Nostalgia, but a bit of sadness, too. You are capturing here something that is becoming a thing of the past. Brilliantly done, ragazzo mio!

[@patrickwilson623]

Wow! I could feel the tension all the way through. Brings me back to my restaurant days. You guys (and gal) were amazing and it was a wild ride watching everything come together. Love the smiles and laughter at the end. I hope this new endeavor continues to be a success! You deserve it through all of your hard work and vision.

[@stevenblunt-canosa9131]

This video is so amazing. You did such a great job of showing the food, the passion and the people and the reason why those of us that cook…cook! It’s about respecting memories and traditions while celebrating the people around the table. I’m smiling so hard. Love it so much.

[@Zzutubez]

This is a really really well done video. I wouldn't normally watch something like this from beginning to end but the time flew. The raw nature of the video made it.

[@suzannevega2289]

This was great to see but, I gotta say, When y'all were doing the antipasti, seeing the the mozzarella, I had a lump in my throat, completely envious! Antipasti is after all my favorite food group, LOL! Oh but then THE RICOTTA 🤤the MEAT😳I'm dyin ova hea!! As much as I love the food, Sunday dinner is all about the people around the table💓💓💓💓

[@ski9600]

wow, Diego really did something there. Seems like he caught about everything. Also, good job all of the food looked really good and seems like it was served on time and everyone had a great time. Congrats.

[@rebeccamuzychka3036]

I thought “the secret” was gonna be some ingredient or technique and then you explained it and I cried. It’s so true! Love this video.

[@AttackonCuisine]

Amazing video!!, I could feel your stress while watching the video haha, especially when you were skeptic about leaving the kitchen. Really loved the engaging way you told the story! Keep up the good work :)

[@jacobdelvecchio1775]

Wow Steve, you 100% represent everything I love about cooking and creativity. You hit the nail right on the head when you said it’s all about people. Keep on doing what you’re doing, your videos are the shit.

[@crdeyalsingh]

Really enjoyable to watch…love the introspection and commentary on the meaning of gathering people to share a feast. Much love. ❤️

[@josephbarbito7000]

Best video you've ever made my guy, keep up the great work. Seeing the plates with the rigatoni meatballs sausage and brasciole brought me right back home. You're doing italian-americans proud with this food.

[@Ken-vl4wk]

We know Angelo is a cool dude because he likes In Flames, At the Gates and probably all the Swedish Melodic Death Metal bands.

[@fullmetalguy8357]

I was gonna say the same thing, love that ATG shirt!

[@CanikFanatik22]

Outstanding job. You nailed this. I am a retired chef. You covered what it’s like to work in a professional kitchen, the pitfalls of taking a home recipe and trying to scale it for a large crowd. Trying untested ingredients and problem solving on the fly. You Sunday sauce looks like mine. Each meat cooking in its own vessel. The best part is how you captured the nostalgia and familia of Sunday Super. Bravo and thank you for sharing this with us. This warmed my heart and made me hungry for the good ole days.

[@darcyferrigno]

Being married to a Sicilian from NY/NJ area, I was laughing at the accents and sayings. "It just fell off the truck..." LMAO But i really did enjoy seeing a different side of you and your videos. Running a restaurant gives me anxiety!

[@47buckeddy]

I spat out my water at the "fell off the truck" bit. Took me straight home to my family haha

[@Ogilla]

Is he Sicilian or is he from New-Jersey lol? Is he an American with Sicilian origins, or a Sicilian living in New-Jersey?

[@xolisa25]

I can't even express how thoughtful and beautiful this is. Truly the way food is meant to be enjoyed. I would travel across the country to go to one of these and I'm actually considering it now...bravo.

[@katiealicia]

There’s nothing more captivating than watching passion play out on screen. Amazing job👏🏻👏🏻 P.S. please do this in LA one day

[@SatchmoBronson]

This vid made me think of my own Italian grandparents, of weekends sitting on the counter while the food cooks, sneaking a bite. Literally brought a tear to my eye. Thanks, Steve.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Man it's my goal to get out there for one of these this year. My Nonna's Sunday dinners were my favorite. She was a tiny Sicilian lady, that would get pissed if me and my brother didn't get 2 or 3 helpings, but in the same breath tell us we're getting fat.... LOL

[@caseyryan1887]

Growing up my cousins and I used to go to our Nana and Papa's every Wednesday for "Mostaccioli Wednesday" with sauce, meatballs, sausage, salad, bread, etc. Even after 2-3 bowls of pasta, my Nana would always say, "there's plenty more!" Absolutely cherish and miss those times.

[@My5sons1114]

Bravo! Looks like a huge success! Your description of The Secret had me in tears. It was spot on and truly touched my soul. The Italian grandma in me recognizes the Italian grandma in you. ❤️🇮🇹

[@rebeccav7555]

Not gonna lie…New York City sounds like hell on Earth to someone like me (who lives in the country) but you honestly make me sad that I wasn’t there for this amazing food. I’m feeling nostalgic for an Italian grandma that I didn’t have! 🤣🤣

[@indiansunburn1]

At the end, I think your realization totally nailed what I love best about food. Bringing people together and sharing the nostalgia that food can bring. Creating those new memories along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you all pull this off so well. Kudos to everyone.

[@djjd2011]

Steve, I consider myself to be a very good cook but I can't even imagine taking on something like this. Bravo.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Oh my friend! What a WONDERFUL video! I (literally) have no words, only kudos to you, to your brother, and to the wonderful chefs who helped you make your event such a triumph. Hope your gig on Saturday is as amazing!

[@angelad.janicke8838]

Omg! This is incredible reminds me of my family and childhood!!!!

[@tashd18]

This was honestly so cool to watch. As a home cook it's hard to imagine what it looks like to actually try and scale up for a crowd. Thanks for sharing the chaos AND the laughs, you did such a great job, this was fascinating to watch!

[@josephmarciano4761]

Brooklyn-born guy here. Big fan of your channel. Beautiful crew and lots of fun to watch. Those French kitchen Brigades have nothing on your crew. Thanks! PS: Those Braciole were destined to leak breadcrumbs. Would wrapping in cheesecloth before dropping in the sauce be practical? It's what I do at home when I've overstuffed my Braciole and have run out of toothpicks to seal the ends. Mangiare!

[@michaeldavidniduaza1394]

I absolutely LOVE all of this. You're amazing brother. You're truly an inspiration, and I'm proud of you.

[@ohnvokl]

Danke!

[@paulthompson8010]

[@jwm4ever]

WOW, this was Phenomenal. You all are Brilliant with everything you do. Ya'll have all my respect. Cooking like this is definitely a Gift From God, and you guys were chosen Thank you for sharing this behind the scenes hard work, skills, and look at the labor of Love ❤ that goes into your Cooking up this feast. Everyone who got to experience this Sunday Supper was Blessed and you all are Blessed to have such skills, and the family memories that you now get to share with everyone.

[@Tasha22Bella]

This looked incredible.. and you're 100% right, sometimes its not the food, its everything that goes with it that makes it better. I loved this. Its truly been a joy finding your channel I've been here a couple of months and it already feels like home. Thanks for that!!! Also, by the end I really missed my gran.. The whole vibe reminded me so much of her before she got ill, her hosting Sunday lunch, or any meal. The food was always good but the most important part was making sure everyone was happy... Wish I could make it to Sunday Supper but who knows, maybe one day. Take care of yourself. Much love!!!

[@kiriaioulia]

I adored this episode! Took me back home to our family dinners - and you NAILED IT! it's all about the people and the fellowship!!!!! Thank you!

[@Stahe]

@30:37 this is why I love cooking. I'm 37 now but looking back on my life I really wish I had followed a career in becoming a chef and hosting. This was like an amazing movie for me. I was sad when I looked down and saw that the video almost ended. I love watching your videos. I see the passion you have in these videos and I share in the passion so it hits me inside. Please keep up the great work and sharing the love for food with others.

[@oscarfelix1952]

Just wow. I loved watching all the talent coming together with their love and knowledge of food and delivering a wonderful meal and experience that their guests won't soon forget. It was very enjoyable to watch behind the scenes. You guys love what you do, and it shows.

[@rhondasebron4082]

This was absolutely a joy to watch and cannot wait for the next one. Do not doubt yourself Steve. I love what you have brought to us Foodies. Whether you are controlling everything in the studio, or you are cooking for the masses, you still bring it. Keep pushing out of that comfort zone and giving us all you have as you are amazing and bring so much to us! Now if only I lived in NY so I could attend one of your events. Much love and appreciation for all you do! Keep surrounding yourself with great people!

[@jjetta264]

Loved, loved this video. This "Sunday Dinner at Grandmom's House" was truly a labor of love. Really enjoyed watching the true reality of what it takes to run a commercial kitchen. Great job!

[@Juice1919]

i agree with everything you said in the video about people you work with in the kitchen and the strong bond you need to get through the ups and downs and still enjoy yourself to the point that you cant wait until you do it all again the next day and put a smile on somebody's face. a lot of people dont understand what it is like to work in the kitchen and deal with the stress and mental focus it takes during the rush hours at any restaurant and this shows you most of it. much love and respect. keep doing what you do. we all love it

[@brewster84067]

I've been a corp rat for 30+ years and crave this chaos everyday as a 'hack' home chef. Thank you for sharing the pain and pleasure, and reality, of what this life entails. Love your stuff brother - keep it up.

[@montymontgomery2471]

An outstanding video. Love love loved it. The passion, the skill, the power and simply the love. It made me cry with happiness. Just simply brilliant. Thank you

[@g0stkid8_3]

I’m only two minutes in and the vibe is amazing. I grew up cooking with my Italian grandpa and I worked for over a decade in food service. This brings back so many great memories watching this. Sunday supper with homemade spaghetti and sauces was a tradition growing up. I can smell this video haha

[@joespeciale3986]

Absolutely beautiful! My Nona and Zia Carmela would say food and music is what brings people together! Love your channel Steve!

[@danieldanielson2324]

The hustle and grind of being in the kitchen is something so indescribable. It’s a labor of love no doubt and most of the time, it’s damn near trench warfare. When you have the right people to make it work, it almost doesn’t even feel like work.

[@jamesjimmyippolito907]

Hi Steve hope you and your family are doing well and healthy... All the hard work you and your team do shows through and through on your channel... I can't thank you enough for doing your thing brother... Stay safe and healthy and don't forget to go feed yourself!!!!

[@kxllita]

I love this! Wholesome and your team was awesome! Good job with the service and teamwork👏🏼 After watching this, my admiration for food has grown more. It is a form of art and class🙌🏼

[@vincentdemarco6374]

Just wanted to say I totally enjoyed watching this. Job well done!

[@rachelle7359]

I love that you said that "...every Italian has the same story." From the antipast to the tin of cookies...AMAZING! Growing up, my friends always wanted to come to our house on Sundays! They never understood why we ate our meat and pasta separately. Hahaha. I love your show!!! Your event really captured our culture in such a beautiful positive way! Incredible team! God bless you all! I agree with you wholeheartedly...it's about the people. After having a good cry over missing my grandmother's, I'm gonna go call my mother! Grazie Mille! ❤
