They were probably so surprised to hear a French man speak such fluent Italian!! Well done!
hahahaha LOL
Not really. If you have lived or you are from Europe almost everybody speaks at least 2,3 or more languages. Closest languages like Spanish, Portuguese or Italian are easy to learn and practice. French is a little bit more complicated to speak for the pronunciation but they also do speak Italian, even English and German.
@@kikechiriboga2481 sigh….. will someone tell him…
@@andrewrogers1838 😂😂
@@andrewrogers1838 The bad reputation of French people comes mainly from parisians. They have a reputation of being rude just like New Yorkers. But if you greet them, say at least Bonjour, Parlez vous anglais, italien will have no problem to help you or talk you back in english, Italian or what ever if they know and talk a little bit of the other language. French people in the south they might even talk in italian because they live close to an Italian town and vice versa. French people are more cold even distant in the north. Paris is like another planet to most French people, some of them they don’t like them. But it is just like NY or LA to most rural Americans. Italian people are very warm, talk very fast, very friendly, love to share things that contrast with the shy, introverted, paused way of the French. Plus you have to understand that most European countries have old wounds from old wars and occupations specially from France, Germany and Russia. My wife is from Lithuania and she doesn’t like either Germans or Russians. Doesn’t matter it happened ten, a hundred or five hundred years ago there is always that resentment. It is all over Europe.
Most European people they recognize for example that Italian food is the best even French and Spaniards. They also have great food. But you will never take a word of an Italian or a French in front of each other. They are equally prideful and chauvinistic. Even there is no more frontiers between them.
You can see how genuinely happy he is to be speaking his mother tongue with strangers in America. 🥰🥰
Raise your hands if you also would like to eat Italian after seeing this video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i was already eating Italian food. while watching this.
👋🏻
I love how Alessio is so happy to find real Italians in NYC. You can see the joy in his eyes to speak his language
It warms my heart to see Alessio so genuinely happy
Grazie
It is good to hear you talking so positively about ‘southerners’ -for too long in Italy calabrese or Sicilian or apuglian were treated terribly in the north but they are the nicest people !!!
It’s because of the Italian tax system. The north is over taxed and sent to the south. It produces a lot of resentment.
What about Molisians?
This is an exaggeration. My parents are from the South emigrated to the North and no one treated them horribly
As an Italian-American born and raised in NYC, I’m so happy to see all these Little Italy videos. So glad you guys had the best time! NYC is such a great city
My grandma was from Naples. Hearing you talk about it made me so happy!
My father’s parents were immigrants from Sicily. Both of my parents and I were born and raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Little Italy was a large, booming community! Italian immigrants lived and worked together, replicated their way of life- including food, trades, stores- in the Lower East Side of Manhattan! After a few generations, though, people moved into “suburban sprawls” to buy homes, etc. I’m so glad that I caught the tail-end of what was a glorious, authentic, Italian-American immigrant experience! I wish you could have experienced it too, Alessio. It was really, really something special. Glad to see Casa D’Angelo carrying it on.
(hears French) "French people, what are you doing in Little Italy?" says the Frenchie speaking Italian in Little Italy! 😉But all jokes aside, the neighborhood next door Nolita (stands for North of Little Italy) as well as SoHo (stands for South of Houston Street) has become a hub for the French community with boutiques and cafes. A Little Paris! Also, you said the Big Boss license plate fits you, but I think the Bada Bing license plate above it fits you more 😂
hahaha this is so true!🤣 maybe we need to visit this little Paris and have Alessio try some delicious French food!
The North End in Boston (Little Italy) is bigger and has festivals all summer long. The food is excellent. The history is magic. You can visit Paul Revere's house.
SO many people have told us to visit The North End! We have to do it!!
I wouldn't say it's bigger though lol. Still fun ofc. Also Arthur avenue in the Bronx and lots of Brooklyn
His face when he finds his own people is precious
Both of them just complement each other and they are both respectful of each others options. So refreshing
I love how Alessio is holding onto "che" instead of saying "that." I think he should keep saying it that way no matter how good his English gets.
Another neighborhood you could visit is Greenwich Village, which is where the British and Irish expat community is located. Tea & Sympathy on Greenwich Ave and 13th Street is an authentic British tea shop and restaurant selling British candies and snacks. You could get a couple British chocolates and snacks and do a vid comparing them to Italian ones! There's also Myers of Keswick which sells meat pies and snacks as well.
I have actually eaten here before. I’m in NJ so I’m super close. I can vouch for the food. My grandmother was from Naples and they don’t play about their food! Lol… It’s delicious and you can taste the quality ingredients. I am someone who gets my flour, EVOO, balsamic vinegar and other favorites imported from Italy and you tell the difference.
I will also say on the flip side, there are other places in little Italy that are Americanized. This place just isn’t one of them.
Favorite part of the video…
Jessy “This is better than yours!” Haha guilt giggle was so organic! Haha
I love her bubbly kind personality and he's so handsome and suave. Perfect couple
Jessi makes me proud to be Italian, her love for everything Italian is genuine and pure, Great video.
Great series! I feel as if I have been part of the trip too! Thank you for sharing this fun experience!
It’s such a joy to watch you two! Thank you for sharing yourselves and such positive and fun content 🙏🏼🫶🏼
I grew up just outside NYC, learned to cook from my girlfriends Sicilian mother and grandmother. NY Italian cooking is the best!! 👍👍👏👏🙏🙏💖💖💯💯
love this! What was your favorite recipe from the family??
@@ThePasinis The Sunday sauce. I will never eat snails though, as I was given the job of knocking them back into the pot when they were trying to climb out. Yet I have no problem throwing a lobster into a pot of boiling water and eating it. There are just to many recipes and my son wants me to write them down. I told him I will cook the food with them as I don't have amounts. It's taste and a pinch of this and that. The only way to truly cook Italian is to cook with an Italian. I am so glad that I got that chance!!
When Alessio speaks Italian you can hear a strong "friulan" accent😀 🤩
mi fa piacere perche quando vado in Italia mi dicono che ho perso l'accento❤️
@@ThePasinis da milanese te lo confermo, si sente tantissimo!
Love this video and glad you found authentic Italian food to enjoy!
I love watching and supporting your family!! Seeing Alessio in his element is heart warming. Thank you both for abother enjoyable video. 🤍
Love this vlog. Now I want to eat some Neopolitan food in Little Italy. Thanks for Filming this Outstanding vlog.
Thank you so much! We are so happy you enjoyed it!
Jessi’s hair looks gorgeous!!! Great day on the town. I miss Little Italy!!! Getting nostalgia here. ❤️
Awe Alessio I could see you almost tear up tasting Italy. I feel the same way about Korean food. ❤
The glow on your faces during and after your meal speaks volumes!
This brings back the memories of my exchange year. I still remember the "ziti al forno" I had in Saint Louis at Zia's. I was so skeptic but they were the best! I was shocked that I finally had found a place where I could feel at home while so away from Italy.
You two are such a wonderful couple. You literally radiate joy and your videos are so uplifting to this western Canadian who had the pleasure of living in a small village north of Rome years ago. Grazie mille!
Good video. I would definately stop @ that restaurant. This is gold. Thank you guys for sharing.
At last we see Alessio saying "delicious" about food! It's so much enjoying than watch him eating disastrous fast food/snacks/sweets from supermarket 🤗 In Alessio's taste we trust :)
I like these longer vids. Found you guys on Shorts first and really enjoy your videos so far!~
We moved from Chicago to Franklin, TN and we miss the food in Chicago so much! Whenever we visit we go to as many of our favorite restaurants as we can. Happy to see you all found some amazing food in NY while you were there!
I love it! Great video! I could hear the collection of “mob hits” playing in the background. I always put on my CD’s when I’m in the mood for some of my family’s homemade Bagna Cauda sauce.
I'm so glad you loved Little Italy; to me, it's beautiful. I haven't been to Casa di Angelo yet (it used to be my favorite restaurant, Angelo's, but it burned down in 2018.) I heard it reopened under new management and i was disappointed. You made me want to try it! Enjoy the rest of your time here❣️
Omg please just move here already… our city needs you two 🤌🤌🤌
we thinking about it!
I’ve always wanted to go to Little Italy. Thank you so much for taking us with you!
Happy for you guys….I love little Italy! So many restaurants and Italian grocery stores!
we had so much fun exploring!
Thanks for taking us to Little Italy! How do you not gain weight eating such delicious food? 💕
I learn so much from watching you both, I love you guys! My family is from Limatola and grandpa Erasmo changed his name to Rocco when he got his citizenship papers. I’m trying to learn Italian because I only know bits from growing up. I want to eventually get dual citizenship!
Great trip just seeing that meal where you had such joy best thing ever
This is a great video! It made us plan a trip soon. Thank you!!
Idk whether or not you're still in NYC or not but the BEST most scrumptious Italian food I ever had was Carmine's in time Square- the food was fantastic- the mozzarella in corozza was outrageously delicious too
ooo thank you for the tip! We've heard great things about Carmines so we are curious to try it!!
Carmines is good but so Americanized. And Times Square is triple the price of everywhere else lol
Well yes- in times Square their prices are inflated but when you're looking to have an amazing meal before/after a Broadway show the convenience of its location is more economical than paying for parking, tipping and a cab
Have you only ever eaten Italian food at Carmine’s ‘cause that’s the only way I could see anyone in the entire tri state area saying they best Italian food they’ve ever had was in Times Square.
@@ThePasinis Chicken scarpariello and the hot antipasti platter are my recs. There's another Carmine's on Boradway at 90th, if you want to not be in a touristy neighborhood. I'd also be curious for you guys to go to Lombardi's Pizza in Soho on Spring St., John's of 12th St (very old restaurant), for fancy treat/occasion Il Cantinori 10th St. which is pretty expensive.
Thank you for the recommendation. What a gem, can't wait to try next time I'm in NYC.
So happy Alessio loved the Italian restaurant in Little Italy! love watching you both!
My love and passion to Italy is getting bigger and bigger every day with you and your videos guys. Thanks for the good memories. I'm thinking getting lesson to learn how to speak Italian next summer because of your videos. Lots of love from Turkey 🇹🇷🇮🇹
We love this so much!! We hope your language lessons go well! Maybe we will see you in Italy someday 😊
@@ThePasinis Italy is my dream place since I was in high school like 2006. I will definetely see it. And like you said who knows maybe one day we can meet 😍
That’s so very nice to know that little Italy in New York has authentic food. When I go visit, I will make a point to go to Little Italy. Thank you for sharing this video. Grazie millie.
Now I know where to go to eat authentic Italian food in New York! This is awesome guys!
More Italian please!!! Love this video so much! 😄
That was a very heart warming video especially at the Naples restaurant!
thank you so much!
"it's okay, you are American" 😂😂😂
He must've been so happy to find this piece of home
Thank you for sharing this glorious experience!!!! I need to go soon. You two are just amazing. ❤❤❤
Grazie Mille❤️
Now I know what I'm having for dinner today, Italian for sure! Everything looked delicious! I'm happy you had a fun visit, great video!
I think you guys just missed The Pasta Queen, she was just visiting NY. Have you watched her? She is fabulous too.
Do bergamo
Happy you two had a pleasurable experience in Little Italy and found a good spot! Personally, I’ve never eaten there in my 10+ yrs in NYC. I do love Di Paolo’s though. Will you guys try NY pizza favorites like Scar’s and Robertas? for Napolitan pizza we like Song e Napule, and una pizza napoletana, or maybe ribalta which was where the Euro cup 20/21 festivities took place
Belisimo! I wish you would have visited a bakery. I was there years ago, and the italian cookies were amazing! Great Video! I Love you both! 💚🤍❤
Oh my goodness, I must try that tiramisu sometime in my life!
Thank you for helping me add Casa D’Angelo to my bucket list! ❤️
What's also strange is that I have friends that are Greek and Middle Eastern; even though I am Italian , people who don't know us assume we are all family because of similar features and coloring. We also get together to cook, and we cook certain recipes with the same ingredients. What was even funnier was my Swedish mother in law gets in act quite well with certain foods
It is not so strange. People think Italians are “white” and “European” like that is supposed to be a definitive distinction that likens all European countries together, but Italy is very much a Mediterranean country, and had a lot of history/trade with the Middle East and Northern Africa. The British isles are going to have more of that northern Viking influence although the Roman influence is definitely there, and they have that cold weather and potatoes culture like a lot of the Northern European states
well it is known that back in the Byzantine area a lot of Nordic warriors did go to Constantinople (Istanbul) to fight as hired man.
Big chance that they would bring there own culture and adopt some of the local culture and brought it back home.
It is like assuming a Danish person could be Swedish. Some countries have close phenotypes and cultural markers.
@@yokoakimura Yeah that's because Italians ARE “white” and “European” and did not only trade or mingle with M.E. and N. African countries but also with Northern Europeans...LEARN SOME HISTORY or stick to Asian history
Yes. You are absolutely right. I noticed something strange though. Because my husband is Swedish, I thought I would take a stab at learning Swedish! I was baking the other day, and without thinking, I started using some food words in Italian aloud and when my mother in law heard me, she understood it when I told her "Cinnamon Roll even though she her Italian is non existent. Latin came into usages in Sweden in the 1600 so I assume Swedish got some of it's root words from Latin
12:40, thank you?? Common amore!!! Grazie!!! Sei nella piccola 🇮🇹. Blessings guys. ❤
What a fun video. I'm so glad Alessio found some real Italian people and food.
The end there..."For getta about it, get outa here" lol...great vid 🤣
I love seeing you two so happy :-)
Glad you moved tables - away from the street. I was worried about your safety. Good to know we now have a great place to eat for our next trip to NYC.
🥲❤ Alessio talking about Italians of the south. So true. My Noni would be so happy hearing that. They came from Sicily. They raised me well. Love your channel. Auguri!
Everyone says the real non-touristy Italian neighborhood in NYC is Arthur Ave in the Bronx. If you're still in NYC, that would be a good area for a video.
What I enjoy about your videos is that it seems that Allesio loves America as much as he loves Italy.
I do
Brought tears to my eyes. My mother was from Naples Italy.
I love this vlog we will visit little Italy for sure❤❤❤
The genuine happiness in Alessio's eyes were fantastic!
Yes, that is the one restaurant we ate at in Little Italy, our first night in nyc! Love! I grew up with an Italian family so I know my Italian food well,❤
So much fun! You two are the cutest!
Thanks , is beatiful see italians there with competencies who works there.
You guys are such a fun couple! I’m ready to visit little Italy!
You should! but wait for the nexts videos for a big surprise
@@ThePasinis I’m excited!!
Il Cortile is amazing too. They'll make anything you want, even if it's not on the menu. But the menu is huge.
I was born in little Italy on Mulberry St New York, 66 years ago.. Little Italy, spanned may blocks and now only a few.. it was a wonderful place where italians settled down from Italy.. It was very nice watching your video, Thank You for posting your travels there..by the way, I think you two are wonderful together, you make me laugh..
You two are so adorable! I really enjoy your videos
Thank you so much!!
Loved it I was raised in Little Italy Franklin Ave Hartford CT miss it.
Little Italy has been eaten by Chinatown. There is only 2 or 3 blocks left, but wow for San Genaro festival - it’s amazing!
This was a fantastic video!! Have you ever thought about teaming up with Carlo and Sarah, and doing a video similar to this? That would be so cool!
The best food, the best wine, the best service, the best croissants, the best coffee, the best gelato, the cleanest, friendliest place I have ever been is Italy. That was the trip of a lifetime for this old gal ❤
Come back to New York for the Feast of San Gennaro and film!! Would love to see you eat all festival foods! ♥
I lived in Friuli for 4 years for work. I traveled all over Italy but Friuli is my favorite! I lived in Fontanafredda, loved it there.
I too live in Nashville and wish we had some Italian culture here. My father was Italian and I miss that part of my heritage.
My family is going to Italy next year and this makes me want to stop in Naples for a few days.
Take a ride on the ferry over to Staten Island. There’s an excellent Italian spot close by. Pastavino. All homemade pastas and huge wine list. We have tons of amazing restaurants! & the south shore of Staten Island is known as staten Italy lol all the Italians from Brooklyn moved here years ago.
You guys have to come to San Diego, there are a lot of Italians here. My husband is from Abruzzo. I’m an American. I can relate to your relationship SO much. 😊
Can't wait to see the Carrabbas episode!
Buonissimo vlog! Grazie per averci fatto conoscere Casa d’Angelo e averci mostrato Little Italy.
There's another Little Italy in the Bronx and scattered throughout Brooklyn, Whitestone, Queens and Staten Island
My mother's family is also from Friuli - Udine. From many decades ago. We are in Canada.
Came across you guys and I'm hooked. NY transplant to Florida you guys are amazing.
Hopefully you get to experience the little italy on Arthur ave in the bronx. You won't be disappointed!!
There is a store where they sell fresh mozzarella can't recall the name but alot of italians there as well!!
E' nella nostra lista
My husbands family's business was at 345 Mulberry St. in the late 1800's - early 1900's. It was Little Italy, but now it's considered Chinatown.
Angelos is the only restaurant on mulberry street that you have to be italian to work on the front of the house that is how authentic they are .
.
Amazing
Im half Napolitan and Half Sicilian and what you said about the Napolitan side being so welcoming is true. The Sicilian side is as well, the south is known for that but Napoli is king when it comes to hospitality haha
I live here in New York. Can't wait to try these places out.
You should go to Little Italy in Boston- the North End! Heaven!
sono brasiliano e parlo italiano...molto bello di guardare americani che sono originati di famiglia italiana parlando italiano e non dimenticando delle sue origini...auguri!
Make sure you make a trip to Ellis Island! Get a 9am boat so you have lots of time over there! The boat will pass the Statue of Liberty so you will get a great view of the Lady in the Harbor while going to Ellis island.
Sarò a New York per la prima volta il prossimo weekend e sto annotando tutti i posti dove siete andati.
Voi dovete venire assolutamente a toronto dove c’è una grandissima comunità italiana e dove ci sono dei posti fantastici dove mangiare e anche dove comprare cose italiane. Vi aspettiamo
Ciao Luisa faremo un giro ovunque! cmq per la nostra ricerca stiamo cercando di vedere posti dove nel tempo si sono americanizzati! faremo un altro video dove andiamo in giro negli ristoranti Italiani per vedere qual'e' il migliore! cmq ti ringrazio di questo bellissimo messaggio a presto
