I’ve been cooking Italian American food over 40 years and got rave reviews. After watching you guys, Vincenzo’s Plate and Pasta Grammar, my cooking has completely changed. I now make as much as I can fresh, like bread and some pasta, and I only buy products that are good quality and no preservatives. It tastes so much better, my health is better and everyone is amazed by the flavors! I even have my daughter and granddaughters cooking more authentic. Thank you so much!

Yes!!! 👏🏽 I’m a Sicilian American and I have always cooked simple fresh Mediterranean dishes…. Pasta grammar also helped me understand how garlic is not a centerpiece (although I LOVE heavy garlic) it really made a huge difference and then watching Jessi and Alessio talk about the differences……. Made me fully understand. My daughter and parents LOVE where this has taken my cooking. Simple. Fresh. Delicious! I had no idea abt chicken not being a pasta acceptable ingredient but I’ve always said no… chicken doesn’t go with pasta so I guess that was just written in my Sicilian soul … haha

Fazoli's: This is classic Italian! Alessio: *You sit on a throne of lies* Former MasterChef judge Joe Bastianich (whose parents are Istrian Italians) mentioned about the fact that garlic breadsticks or garlic bread in general is nonexistent at an authentic Italian restaurant and it's very much an American thing, and the comments section where that clip was featured were overly hating on him for that.

I think people forget histories, even the Italians themselves. The class/poor immigrants who came to the US are not the same as the families who stayed in Italy. In some ways the recipes and cooking are probably no longer available in Italy. Migration does strange things to the country they leave behind but a lot of times pride plays a part in a negative opinion of something they don't understand.

Fazoli's is basically fast food Olive Garden. Neither are great, they are just there. Of course, making pasta and sauces from scratch will lead to better taste and better for your health. Just like I grew up with a garden and we only bought a few staples from the grocery store. Got too busy as an adult to take the time to grow a garden, to make stuff from scratch. That is something I hope to get back to soon, now that I am retired.

You guys are awesome..... May you be loved and blessed...today and always!!!

I think that comparing Italian American food (especially fast food) to authentic Italian food is so funny. Not the same at all.

It's the same kind of thing as looking at some of the "American" food you can get in Japan or similar things, every place takes things and adapts it to both what they have and what the locals like, especially with multigenerational immigrant developments. Hell, you can even look at parts of europe and what they view as "american food" outside of the international fast food chains...and you have things like the source for most of the worlds take on Mexican food comes from either Taco Bell or ChiChi's menus... Then you add the fast food take on things from there which heavily simplifies things anyway. The big mistake for a lot of these videos is not going inside and eating there

😂😂😂 I loved this video!! What Alessio said about ricotta cheese in lasagna brought me back to when I first came to the states. My two American friends took me to Applebees for my first time and I ordered the lasagna. When I tasted the ricotta cheese I felt nauseous and told my friends I didn’t like it and they told the waitress for me and sent it back. She very kindly gave me something else. That was also my first experience of how great American restaurants are, because there’s no way I would have sent that back if I was in my own country. I would have left it, paid for it and gone home to eat dinner instead. I’m used to lasagna with bechamel sauce which is how my friend from Rimini taught me to make lasagna when I was 17. Now that’s delicious!!

Fazoli's fun fact: The concept of the casual Italian-American dinner, Fazoli's, began in 1988. Two years later, the Fazoli's system was established. Fazoli's started with five locations in the Lexington, Kentucky, area. Fazoli's was originally managed by Jerrico Inc. but later was put up for sale and sold to Duskin Co. Ltd so that Jerrico Inc. could focus on Long John Silver's.

I’ve been to fazzolis in Colorado Springs and the breadsticks were pretty good from what I remember. The spaghetti was a little better than my homemade spaghetti made with Raghu then again I was in the military eating MRE’s so everything else was amazing.

When I moved to Fl 25 years ago and there was a Fazolis. I tried it once and never went back. They went out of business in central Fl shortly there after.

Meatball Peperoni sub looks amazing. This may not be Italian, but what it is, is Italian/American fusion, and I'm hungry to try that, but no Fazoli's in my part of the US.

I learn so much from Alessio. I would like to see more cooking episodes that involve real recipes.

Hahah I’m glad you chose the pizza. I suggested it on Instagram. Also you are right. That pizza tastes sweet and it’s SO bizarre. I’ve never had pizza like EVER!! I love pizza and have tried SO many different kinds, I make my own from scratch, and have tried different pizza dough recipes, but something just went totally wrong with their pizza. You would think over the years they would have fixed it but nope. Apparently it still tastes the same way it did like 20 years ago. Yuck! Oh and the meatball icky!! The texture is like pate cat food. That is NOT what a meatball texture is like. Alessio is also not alone in his hatred for Alfredo. One of my biggest pet peeves is white pizza. 🤢 Btw the reason why they over season everything in the states is because we having an obesity issue. When you are obese you inevitably have killed your tastebuds so to make the food more palatable is by over seasoning everything otherwise people can’t taste the food. It’s so sad, but true. This is why I don’t eat out unless I absolutely have to.

Italians and their “rules” comes down to hundreds if not thousands of years of tradition. That’s what makes Italy Italy. Thank goodness.

“what the hell is this Amore?”😂😂😂😂

Fazolis was in Minnesota a short time in the 2000s and they had the best breadsticks!

The discuss on his face is priceless!

not fast food - but carpenettis in Moody alabama has excellent Italian food. I'm not Italian but of the other Italian places I have tried carpenetti's is waaay above and beyond.

Reactions are the best 😂

When my Italian Grandma from Nusco would have us over for a holiday dinner, she would have homemade pasta and after the pasta, we had a meat platter,with meatballs, braciola, pork and Chicken but mainly the wings and legs. The chicken was not cooked in the sauce but separately.

My understanding is that the reason why there is such a heavy use of garlic in Italian-American cuisine, is that many of the early Italian immigrants to the US were poor. Garlic was a cheap and easy way to mask the absence of higher quality/more expensive ingredients in their food and so was used heavily. And while it may not be “authentic” to the original Italian cuisine, it’s something that was introduced by Italian-American immigrants. At least that’s what I had always been told.

I have had food poisoning twice from Fazoli’s. It’s been 10+ years since I had them and I tried again about 6 months ago. Horrid! Love you guys though! So adorable!

Technically 'breadsticks' are 'grissini'. Here in the UK you can easily find grissini in the supermarkets, and they are called 'breadsticks'

Well, you don’t know that maccheroni al pettine from Modena or garganelli romagnoli may have a chicken ragù. So it is not true that there isn’t pasta with chicken. It’s that it is a proper ragù, not just chicken breasts tossed on the pasta. The chicken ragù is made in the same way as preparing pollo alla cacciatora. Then there are also the Roman fettuccine alle rigaglie di pollo (chicken liver, heart and so on).
