TAKING MY ITALIAN HUSBAND TO BERTUCCI'S!

[@dmwnc1959]

I’m now 63 years old, have been out of the armed forces since 1990, and I can honestly say that the highlight of my *entire life* were the 2 years I was stationed in Naples, Italy. Every weekend was an travel adventure, enjoying the local restaurants, and seeing the sights of Campania. Man, I truly miss those days so much it makes my heart ache.

It was simply the greatest two years of my life.

Thank you for your service. How wonderful you got to experience that time in Naples. The poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson stated "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." My heartache is that my father's heritage was from the Naples area and I have not and will never get to travel there in person. As a consolation, I have been watching Italian travel videos and they have been comforting.

[@josephwalukonis9934]

My understanding is that what they make in Italy is pasta with butter and cheese (parmesian). Thete is no creme or meat or seafood as well. People make this at home when they want an easy dish for themselves or their children. It is not something that you would go to a restaurant and order. My cousin's grandmother was from Rome and she made spaghetti and meatballs. Maybe it was an adaptation from living in the states - I don't know. Comments?

[@wokest]

@@josephwalukonis9934 if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike - Gino

[@wokest]

@@josephwalukonis9934 cooking in Italy is very regional so it's a complex matter indeed. There are definitely certain pasta dishes that are classic for home eating. Olive oil or butter with parmigiano reggiano is common. Cacio e pepe is a big one. Of course carbonara. In Western cooking they're overly complicated heavy dishes with ingredients coming out of everywhere. Carbonara to the average westerner has cream, peas, mushrooms, sometimes chicken. And parmesan smells like feet. To an Italian it's a simple process of frying up some cured pork, mixing some egg with grated cheese and pepper and emulsifying together with some pasta water. It's very simple, delicious cooking. Then there are more complex dishes like meatballs or lasagna. Still very traditional but not as common. For every ragu de bolognese there is the simple tomato puree reduced with onion, fresh basil and seasoned with salt. Enjoyed with fresh parmigiano cheese on top and maybe a nice crusty bread to mop up leftovers. I hope that helps.

Old-world Italians really have a hard time understanding that "Italian food" in the US means people who left Italy 100+ years ago (meaning there's a century of independent culinary evolution), not people who left last week and brought dishes as Italians are eating them today.

[@bdwilcox]

Bingo. Most of the Italian-American food that Italians from Italy look down their collective noses at was primarily invented by poor Italian immigrants in NY, NJ and CT who still needed to feed their families but were in a new country with new ingredients. I think they did a pretty good job with what they had. I've had both authentic Italian food from Italy and Italian American food and as long as they're prepared well with good ingredients, I love them both for what they bring to the table. Oh, and I put cheese on fish dishes, so sue me. Yeah, I know, I'm a barbarian. Whatever.

[@FenrisEx]

@@bdwilcox Italian food is poor people's food. A magherita is nothing more than dough, tomatoes, basil and some cheese (with the occasional salt, pepper, and oregano like in almost every dish). A putanesca is noodles, anchovies, tomatoes, olives, onions (according to the name it was a dish prepared by the ladies who got paid for intercourse and anchovies are super cheap food) Italian food is the every man's food. Nothing fancy. Plain and simple. Every italian food is just what they had made into some really cool dishes. A Carbonara is just ham, eggwhite, and some black pepper. It's nothing special, but it's made with passion. And in the Us there are other ingredients available for the poor man. So they made their own variants of it. It's not italian. It's amrican-italian. There is nothing wrong with it. Except, the name. Call it what it is.

[@MicheleScalvini]

as an italian living in italy i personally don't like the statement "old world italians". i dont get it. italy is a country, it exists to this day and progress like the US and the rest of the world. Unless you're teaching the history of the 1500's theres no reason to remark america is somehow newer. you can call europe "old world" if you want but out of context it just seems disrespectful. our cuisine definetly didnt stopped at the time we imported it in america. it evolved as well.

You guys should spend a day or two at Federal Hill, Providence. Especially Venda Ravioli. I'd be curious about his thoughts about the quality of restaurants, as well as, see how many people speak Italian and Sicilian. I think he would find SOME dishes closer to the way it's made in Italy then let's say Boston. I can't recall the restaurant, but my mom ordered something with sausage in it. The waiter came back, apologized that the kitchen had run out of sausage, and asked if she would mind waiting a little while because they make all the sausage from scratch. Some, not all restaurants, pride themselves on the high quality, fresh ingredients that the motherland is known for. I'm Sicilian and my great grandparents came her from Sciacca. I was fortunate enough to be close enough to the old country to experience the family values, culture, cooking in the kitchen since childhood. etc. When I was a teen I started to realize that not everyone knew how to cook, which was a shock to me. I thought every child learned how to cook and spent time in the kitchen with everyone prepping and cooking. Also, a shock to me was why anyone would go to an Italian restaurant and pat triple for something you can make at home. Although, some Italian foods were new to me, being Sicilian, so I would try to order things I was unfamiliar with. I recall the sentiment Carlo feels when he goes to restaurants, and it brings me back to those days. (I'm 51) Please consider Federal Hill! Love the content!

Italian meals are very structured, we have a first course, a second course and fruit or sweets at the end. On holidays we also have an appetizer called antipasto (that means before the meal). The first course can be a pasta dish or risotto or soup in winter. The second course is meat or fish with always a side of salad or vegetables (yes, salad is a side dish in Italy). The only time you have a single course is if you make a polenta dish (the kind that is served as porridge). Bread is eaten only with the second course. The final course is mostly fruit (at home) and on holidays (including Sunday) we have dessert.

@@LittleLulubee I am sure the food itself is great. It is just not Italian food. But to be fair, it is extremely difficult to get actual Italian food in the US. So while it might taste great, to Italians that is sacrilege, because they tend to value tradition so much. Again, that doesn't mean it is bad, just bad for an Italian. So he might have done something off the menu, to make something that is actually authentic. That happens everywhere, foreign food is always localized, even if it is done by migrants. So it is not to say it is abd because it is american, it is just different. And I can understand that, as a Mexican, whenever I visit the US and have "Mexican" food there, it is so mild, that I do not enjoy it at all. Like I can tell the food is good, but I know what the real deal is, and it just makes me crave real Mexican food. And not the bland version I am tasting. But I can objectively tell it is good, I would recomend it to people that have had not tried the real deal. But if you have tried it, it just makes you crave the real deal, and it is a bittersweet feeling. So, I never try nor order any mexican food because of that, whenever I am outside of Mexico... I always end up dissapointed. For Italians, it might be similar to them.

Italian salads are remarkably simple. Usually, it is lettuce (sliced very thinly), tomatoes, cucumbers, maybe some olives and olive oil, salt, lemon, or vinegar. Sometimes you can add capers. In Sicily, they have a special salad made of oranges, vinegar, and salt. There is nothing like Italian dressing, that is an American invention.

As Italian i can feel Carlo’s pain 😂

I explain it for the Anglo-Saxons: in Italy there are different types of pizza, there is the Roman one which is higher and more leavened, and it is like the one you see at the beginning. I am Umbrian (in the center of Italy) and "pizza at plate" (not in pieces) is usually less thick. if you go to campania (naples to be clear) you will find every citizen who says that his recipe is the best.

[@TheNoobest2099]

Actually roman pizza is the thinnest, as well as the crunchiest.

[@markantony3875]

Because Napoli pizza is the best. 😁😁

[@woodschelle]

LOLOLOL !! Thanks for the giggles. Loved it ! Many blessings your way. XO

[@BeautifulNightmareX]

“The question is why” 😂😂 this is torture for poor Carlo 😂

[@muhammadnimji4626]

Not sure how I came here, nonetheless, Hilarious!! Never tell a guy that the restaurant food is better than his mum's! Carlo's reaction; Priceless, LOL! You guys are good together.

[@antoniamills3000]

Out of all the Italian American couples on KZbin these two are my favourite. 💞💞💞

[@Ama94947]

I think they are more interesting because the American girl also has an Italian immigrant background but americanized lol Italo American culture vs Italian Italy

[@SNNY89]

I LOOOOVE Carlo's facial expressions 😂 says enough though, no words needed 😁

[@luigicarolei2255]

I love Carlos expressions when he experiences things for the first time in this country it’s like looking at my father when we took them out for Father’s Day he starts talking with his hands and talking in Italian expressions I feel that way like brothers

[@claudiavirginiaalarconbena7171]

Carlo's expressions are priceless!!

Unfortunately, the music doesn't match the theme of the restaurant.

Your videos always make me smile 😃. Thanks for sharing your lives.

6:50 let's try settle this: - fettuccine Alfredo DOES EXIST in Italy, there's a restaurant who claims to be the inventor, but they just gave a fancy name to a very common recipe named "pasta burro e parmigiano" all over Italy; - same goes for spaghetti meatballs, it is common in some areas (I come from Puglia) to make sugo with meatballs inside, then you can season every pasta you want; - same goes for chicken, sometimes I make pasta sugo with chicken legs, then season pasta with the sugo and AFTER have a tomato sauce chicken as second dish; - same goes with spaghetti bolognese, we make ragù ("ragou(t)" not "ragoo") then we can season every pasta with it, including spaghetti. Ragù has different recipes depending the area, you can think as "ragù alla Bolognese" as the OG recipe.

[@shilohivy4590]

I love how she keeps bringing up fettuccine Alfredo . Haha he’s so adorable. Great channel. New sub.

[@woolzem]

That was so cute when the chef brought something just for Carlo ❤

[@thesushifiend]

Something edible you mean…

[@ajbevilacqua3281]

Me and my wife are finally going to Italy this summer. I know the food is going to be amazing and will probably ruin us on American food once we get back.

[@ngbanks]

I have a great compassion for this man. As an Englishman, I also understand the pain that one feels when Americans mock your culture. It gets frustrating so watching him maintain a sense of humor, it’s a nice thing. Carlo, I’m sorry.

[@DocVancouver]

Love watching you both as you always have the best reactions and expressions. Big Love ❤️

Exhausting...imagine listening to that all day...God bless Sarah!❤

I loved when she compared the food to his mom’s 🤣 his face 😮😂

The look he gave when she said it's like olive garden 😅😂😂😂😂

Hey, Carlo gets the Italy bell curve. It's like Chinese food in America is their spin on it to make it more American. Dragging him through these things is hilarious, much love to you both, it's great

[@bobadams179]

I am watching this right now with my friend Francesca who is in Avellino while I am about 80 miles away from you two. I am trying to convince Francesca to come to America so I can take her to places like this. It looks like great fun.

[@theheartland1861]

When you compare the food at the restaurant to Carlo's mother's cooking, you'll always get that cold stare. I'm betting his mom can make a killer italian meal😋🍽

Spectacular video! I am huge starving now and, even they are not exactly like italian recipes, everything seems very taste. And thank you guys to said Napoli have better pizza (I came from Nipples.. ehm Naples) 🤣

[@markantony3875]

Napoli has best pizza in the world. Period. I have found one place near me in the U.S. that makes pizza very similar to the way it is done in Napoli. The place is owned by a immigrant Egyptian family. Go figure. 🤣

First time I've seen your video. I enjoy you both so much and you make me less lonely for my Sicilian family. Italians it's all about food, family and friends. My heart! I signed up as your subscriber. Your sense of humor makes me less lonely. I moved from NY to Georgia 30 years ago. People think I eat crazy but it's Sicilian peasants food. The best.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Love it when he gets the big eyes! Cute and funny. :)

[@lashelleullie]

Ooooh my Gosh, I love him!!! I just went to Rome and got such a lesson in Italian food. It has changed how I eat here

[@christophervogt7456]

Italian food in the USA is Italian American. Rooted in Italy but adapted over time to what we call Italian food today. There's no wrong or right. It is what it is. 😊

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Being Irish and living in the U.K., I’m taking (careful) notes from Carlo, as I’m looking for those things that are (genuinely) Italian - I’ve heard that name Bertuccis here in the U.K. and I think they have an outlet in the Trafford Centre near Manchester here in the U.K. - there is an Italian cafe in the Trafford Palazzo and there are other Italian restaurants within the Trafford Centre as well ❤

[@FreddieMercurytheSharkWrestler]

Lol his reaction when you said the food was better than his mom’s. Never insult a mother’s cooking unless it’s actually bad

[@ceciliahughes740]

I’m 70 yrs old half Italian and the other half Irish anyway, my grandparents, my dad’s mother and father were from Italy and i’m used to really good at authentic Italian food that my grandparents cooked and my father so I would never eat in an Italian restaurant and if I did have eaten Italian restaurant, I would always get anything with seafood shrimp or anything that did not have red sauce because once you’re used to eating really good Italian food with homemade sauce nothing could compare!

[@Bob_Mitch]

The music is soooo loud in this restaurant !!!

[@dinosworkinonit3563]

Chow. My name is Dino and my Mama's family is from Puglia, and my Papa's family was separated during the war. He was born in an Italian colony in Libya but they were kicked out and had to live in a refugee camp in Italy. My Papa came to America in 1953 then went back to Italy, married my Mama, then came back to America. They raised 5 children in the rurals of Pennsylvania on a farm. We had horses, goats, pigs, sheep, and chickens. We grew our own food, and Papa grew grapes and made wine. I still live on the farm with my wife and we still make our own tomato sauce and Suprasatta and Calabreese sausages. I plan to go to Italy and meet my Mama's family someday, I have uncles, aunts, and cousins I never met before.

This two are hilarious! And yes, everything about European food in USA is WRONG! That oil dish?! Jesus...

[@Veronica_Boer]

So 100% right. European food should be declared UNESCO’s patrimony. Protect and preserve

[@EricT3769]

It may not be Italian, but I’ve been to restaurants that serve the oil and spices / herbs with the bread, and it’s delicious.

[@LittleLulubee]

What the hell could a European possibly find wrong with dipping bread in olive oil?! 🙄🙄 It’s so obvious that it’s just anti-American hatred and snobbery. So typical!! 🙄🙄

[@Veronica_Boer]

@@EricT3769 you are right, it's delicious. Just talking conservatively from a local gastronomic point of view. A European chef (not me, I'd join you in eating bread and olive oil, especially if the oil is extra good) would disapprove. Let's break these rules lol!

Carlo is a funny guy. I love his expressions, which I caught him on the short clip of his review of Costco Pizza. I wanted to comment on that but it kept skipping to the next clip losing my text. I grew up in Hawaii with a Italian friend who's father was a POW during WWII held in the United States. After the war, he brought his family over and they worked their way over to Hawaii. They opened up an Italian resturant, which served homestyle meals. Carlo probably experience a wide range of Italian cooking, so he knows good Italian cooking. My friend's family resturant was family, home style cooking. It was not the gourmet Italian cooking that I've had in other places. Short of the pasta, pizza and sandwiches, it was solid cooking that was good. Italian pizza is thinner, flakier, crispier crust in their dough. Pizza sauce is thick/heavy like tomato paste but tastier. Cheese is lots of Mozzerella and perhaps mixed with parmesan. All I know it was good and the community loved the little Italian resturant that was homestyle, traditional and cozy for many decades until the father passed away and the mother decided to retire. When you've had good home Italian quality cooking, you know it. Aloha and mahalo for reminding me of my youth and home Italian cooking.

[@thomasdecarlo8543]

This guy feels exactly the way I feel in these American Italian restaurants. My fathers older siblings are off the boat Italians and his sister cooked liked a real Italian. I lived in Italy for a year and then backpacked it twice 6 months each time. No where in Italy would you find any of this. We have done what we do best and bastardized all that is good and had the audacity to label it Italian. Would never step in something like this
