Pasta in the Most Iconic Italian Restaurant in New York City with Chef Stefano Secchi

[@giacomorubenrepetti4514]

This video blew my mind! I'm from Piacenza and to see the tortelli that my grandma makes me on Sunday for lunch in a one star Michelin restaurant is truly unbelievable. What's crazy is that if you go to Bologna or Parma which are bigger cities only like 30 mins away from Piacenza you can't find the tortelli piacentini. Big respect to the chef Stefano!

[@marcocatelli1]

I’m from Piacenza too and it’s so exiting to see a starred chef in a New York restaurant making tortelli piacentini and talk about our pancetta. Yeah!!

[@L0Rwick]

It's so funny how lo chef mischia perfettamente italian and english while sta parlando

[@EllisBoydRedding]

yes, it looks like an italiano che ha passado su much time in the USA that has some trouble a parlare continuamente in italiano e a tratti looks like an Italian doing an American impression

Questa non è la cucina italiana ma l'esaltazione della cucina italiana! Attenzione nei prodotti e alla loro lavorazione, rispetto dei tempi di cottura, la cremosità della pasta, il taglio perfetto del prosciutto crudo. Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!

[@MsTapenade]

adoro quanto sto chef sia infottato per la cucina italiana, secondo me è tanta roba che esista un ristorante così a new york

[@MattiaRepetto1]

Gli occhi e l'amore, la passione e l'entusiasmo....li leggi tutti negli occhi di questo grande chef, tanti troppi montanti dovrebbero prendere ispirazione, dedizione, cura, sacrifici e tanta scuola 😊 complimenti

[@paolowarszawa776]

Il video più bello che ho visto su questo canale. Da italiano che vive a Varsavia da 15 anni sono orgoglioso di avere connazionali che tengono alta la nostra reputazione.

[@danieledragone423]

Non vedo altri motivi per andare a New York che non sia andare a provare il ristorante di pasta fresca. Complimenti! Simpatia, bravura, passione.

[@ShamilSiriwardana-iy6xq]

Stefano is not just an amazing chef but also a great human being. I'm always impressed how the love for the Italian food and traditions still inspires him to the point of having goosebumps talking about it. Not only representing the Italian culture outside Italy, but inside Italy as well.

[@geekmac9349]

"also a great human being" you do not know this man

[@Excaprince]

Piacenza ha una cucina veramente superiore andrebbe valorizzata maggiormente, grazie chef

[@CamilloMorea]

Fantastico lavoro!! Portare la vera tradizione italiana negli Stati Uniti. Impresa da giganti!!! Bravissimo ❤❤❤

[@carfo8975]

quando sul finale parla della mantecatura dello spaghettino ai lupini è qualcosa di davvero emozionante... grandioso

[@italimarco]

A Stefano, sei fantastico! Ti meriti la nomina di Ministro degli Affari Esteri! Mai visto una persona che rappresenta con tanta passione l'Italia all'estero!

[@FabioDBB]

I find the Italian-English mix very catchy and beatiful. Bei piatti, bravi!

[@joem.8984]

It’s a little corny

[@a.leehilliard4716]

Wow! You can tell how much he cares the kitchen is staffed properly.

[@ivanredbirdout2710]

complimenti allo chef, davvero bravo.. è stato un vero piacere conoscerlo

[@aramb10]

sicuramente questi ragazzi sono appoggiati da uno staff di primo ordine, quello che risalta più di tutto e che questi chef si sono fatti una grande gavetta, grande passione e grandi sacrifici, ora facile dire che sono bravi, si apprezzabilissimo ma questi ragazzi sono gente in gamba e forti, sono sempre meno i ragazzi disponibili a queste imprese ma chi ci crede riesce, siamo forti a cucinare.

[@SingYourselfWell]

Speechless... And hungry. Grazie mille.

Predicting when he will switch from English to Italian and vice versa could be a drinking game.

[@AloV17]

grazie mille. questa è la nostra cucina...top

[@tawnym7162]

i am not sure which is more intoxicating: the foo of the chef living his perfect lifed concepts that look like I could eat in these spots every day; or the passion of the chef who looks like he is absorbed in a perfect life of fulfilment, creativity, and identity of purpose and home. Wowza.

[@appleblade9054]

As Italian I can say that he knows more pasta types than me! He’s a true master, well done !

[@meredithkurtzman6047]

I really enjoyed seeing a chef so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his style of Italian food. Warm and fuzzy feelings,hope to dine there sometime . 1:38

[@llhg9511]

It feel with innovative and flawless presentation some dishes might be 3 stars. This chef is inspiring and you can see the respect for everything

[@satanicthumb83]

I love this guy. Every time I eat at his restaurants we always have incredible conversations and it’s very apparent he has such a great love for food.

[@unkokusaiwa]

I like how he renamed his workers... what a douche

[@iv3shf]

Pushing the limit and enhancing the pasta rather than the condiment is the true essence of italian cuisine, it's strange not to see some Piedmont dishes or fusion. Bravo Stefano e tutto il team, costruito sicuramente una grande brigata, belle idee, non facili da portare avanti a NYC, dove c'è una grande cultura italiana, sicuramente tanta è andata persa con il tempo ma sempre forte.

[@michaelfelsinger-k2i]

What an impressive young chap that Stefano is ! And his colleague upstairs, forgotten his name ! A video as delicious and painterly as Stefano's exquisite food ! What really stood out for me was Stefano's respect for Italy's culinary past, and the homage he pays to all those unsung, anonymous Nonnas who can still teach Michelin-starred chefs a thing or two. If I wasn't living in Australia, I'd eat at this restaurant at least once a month. Thank you, Italia Squisita ! New subscriber !

[@bonefish935]

Amazing Chef,amazing team,amazing food and amazing energy.

[@johnleake5657]

Mi ha piaciuto tanto the chef's uso d'italiano and inglese. Per un Inglese come me it reduces the pressure of decoding un monologo d'italiano italiano tipicamente mescolato con dialetto. A delight!

[@michielvries8012]

Oh my God. Saving money now to go to NY ❤ watering mouth buonnissima. Best from Olanda

[@JustSomeDude686]

Chef Secchi è proprio bravo!

[@catherinecrane1027]

A true culinary Artist and Master of the of the finest Italian culinary experience 👍

[@rustybearden1800]

No one, I mean NO ONE does this any more. To see him walk in the front door and the long dolly shot following him through the bustling, vibrant electric dining room with energy of the patrons and service and then through to the kitchen - WOW! I miss that feeling from NYC. This guy is incredible and unique to himself as far as Italian cuisine and service. God, I would love to sit down and dance my way through that menu!

[@PKDionysus]

Anything with Chef Secchi, I watch. 😁

I’ve eaten at Rezdora twice after following him and learning his story and watching him cook on KZbin. I think he is awesome. Sunday lunch in Rezdora the front of house had a really stuck up attitude. It was Sunday and we wanted to get a drink at the EMPTY BAR as we were 15 minutes early. We were denied. We could get a drink but were told to stand in the doorway. That was disappointing. The bar was still empty when our guest arrived as was the restaurant mostly and we waited another 15 minutes to be seated. We were excited for the food, unfortunately it just was average and again it was as if they front of house was doing us a favor. Food was mixed between four dishes between Luke warm and cold. I asked and Stefani was not there in the kitchen. Having grown up working restaurants I said gotta give another chance. Everyone can have a bad day. Unfortunately, 2nd time same attitude , same food service. We had an early reservation (was all we could get) and again the same deal with the front of house service and Luke warm to cold food. Maybe you should never go to a restaurant unless it’s peak hours so the kitchen is humming. All in all a disappointment for us I’m terribly sorry to say cause it just doesn’t fit this guys profile but I assume that why he lost the star. I won’t eat anywhere they make you feel like they are doing you a favor serving you and don’t show the appreciation that the owner, chef Stefani in this case dedicates to his food. Really a shame. We were SO DISAPPOINTED. NOTE: I’ve friends ( we all work in the same office) who have had fabulous experiences here and some that have had similar experiences to ours so I’m guessing consistency is a big complaint here. If the front of the house had Stefanos attitude it could make up for a lot but not cold food !

[@Al-po2oh]

Stefano you are creating pasta fresca as others create French Lace‼️🔝⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Grazie 🍊

[@david-xr4oj]

I understand that the dishes shouldn't be too abundant but the cold spaghetti were very few, considering that they cost around 25 dollars. As we all know the canonical portion should be 80 grams, these will be 2 or 3 forkfuls, perhaps 30/40 grams which is a bit low especially because they will also be very good.

[@waltersobchak4079]

You won't find much that will fill you up on a single serving at a mich star restaurant. Certainly not for 25, especially in midtown Manhattan.

[@david-xr4oj]

@@waltersobchak4079 I found some reviews on Tripadvisor that talk about the cost of a plate of pasta at 29 dollars but complain that they were small. I agree.

[@GhenazoOReilly]

❤❤❤

[@mihaitobosaru]

TBH, his english is so so good that the italian feels out of place and forced. He knows that he must sound italian to have the restaurant going. I mean, he is born in Texas. If we talk real italian food, any italian would laugh at those tiny pans and portions.

[@reynardngoh9669]

hello im interested in buying the restaurant, how much?

[@erawanpencil]

No one wants to admit this, but there's better Italian food in the US/NYC than there is in Italy these days... most Italian restaurants have degenerated into tourist establishments (even for native Italians) and the real, actual, pressure is on foreign places like the one in this video, in the US, to make the best of Italy shine through. I say this as Italian who's lived in both places.

[@matteoboscolo5152]

Until we're talking about big touristic cities like Rome, ok, but in the smallest cities I don't think so, you can find some varieties of delicious dishes that me, authentic 31 years old Italian, don't even imagine 😂😂

[@3up3down.]

It looks really good. But the portion sizes are way too small.

[@lazios]

Questi sono piatti che piacerebbero anche agli italiani (intendo quelli nati in Italia, non nel NJ), si vede che non è cucina italo-americana (non lo scrivo per sminuirla ma per far capire, del resto si è evoluta in un altro paese e quindi pur avendo basi italiane è normale sia diversa). Ok, è un po' fighetta e ricercata come cucina (mi sembra facciano soprattutto paste), va considerato che sta a NY però ed è giusto dare importanza pure alla presentazione (costano cari quei piatti); l'importante è la passione che trasmette lo chef, quella c'è e sembra sincera.

[@cucinaitalia]

[@kevindague8539]

looks good but portions seem way small to me

[@MbisonBalrog]

Massara, NY? That looks like Manhattan.

[@afare17]

The size portion is so small!

[@peymanrasi2212]

I have eaten there and the restaurant is very cozy, but the food unfortunately is very very mediocre and very very heavy. We ordered 5 different pastas for lunch and every single dish tastes exactly the same and all the pasta tastes like butter. I wish them all the best. It tastes nothing like the food of Bologna or Piedmont.
