I watched your show, Giada in Italy on hgtv years ago and ever since have wanted to go. Thank you for all your great tips! 💗💗

Even more respect for Giada as she rocks the Pink Floyd T. Thanks for the tips Giada, my wife and I are planning a trip to Italy in September for her birthday, it’s a “bucket list” item for her.

I’m 3rd generation Italian, my grandparents immigrated from Italy. But I could never eat a big meal at 9pm and sleep in late in the mornings. I’d be a wreck. Lol! I guess lunch in Italy will have to be my main meal.

That’s pretty much what we do when we’ve gone to Egypt to visit family, and they have a somewhat similar schedule in that way, particularly in the summer when trying to beat the worst of the heat.

Nice video, thank you. I love this principle to sit and drink coffee or eat, enjoying your food/drink.

Love Giada....so elegant, so down to earth at the same time.

Thank you for such a great video. I was raised in Europe (Spain) and the tips you mention do apply there too maybe with minor differences. Life over there is different, people really enjoy life and take time to savor every moment of it. I have never been to Italy but I know it is a very beautiful place and the people are wonderful. I am very happy to see you again. Have a wonderful day!

I’ve been to Italy twice. I can’t wait to go back!

I have a huge problem with what I've seen here concerning espresso in the morning. In my experience, in any larger city in Italy you step in, que up to the bar, order your espresso with or without an additional item, mix your sugar if you want, drink it and have a bite and then you're on your way. Only the elderly and tourists sit and enjoy their cafe.

Giada, A+++ and not just for being a Pink Floyd fan-----this segment is 100% correct! That bread made me want to catch the next plane out with family... scarpetta!

I love you Giada

I haven't sat down to dinner in years, run,run ,run, plenty of stain sticks hahaha

Loved this Giada ❤ and I Love pineapple on pizza too 😋 oh well 😅

I lived in italy for many years ,I'll take the liberty to add my two cents : Alot of this info is yes and no . Traditionally speaking and many years ago i would agree with Glada ,but so much has changed over the years till current times . Cappuccino drinking ; Yes its a morning drink and usually stops around 11 a.m., but they drink 15 expresso coffees threw out the day into the evening 😂🤪. Restaurant tipping: Everybody loves a tip , I always tipped and they immensely appreciate a tip . Food delivery: That's all we did last year on week days was order pizza delivery, pizza delivery is a common practice now . Weekends we go out. What else? Oh food on the run grab and go. In the city it's common to eat panninis ( sandwiches) on the go same with foccàcia ( mini pizza') on the go. Hawaiian pizza ; In italy they probably dont order ham and pineapple pizza but guess what i saw , pizza wirh cured ham and figs 😂😂 . That's there version of sweet and sour pizza . Basically italy has adopted alot of American customs, with the use of internet social media platforms face book , tic toc etc etc Italian traditions are becoming something of the past.

Still So Beautiful Giada" I Hope Life Is Being Good To You These Days!! Everything You Make Looks So Delicious!! Cheer's To You!!

For a first timer that goes to Italy which places would you suggest?

You can go to dinner as early as six even in Italy. The kids have to go to school the next morning in Italy too. You are right about the to go food. No such thing and therefore they don’t have mountains of garbage to dispose of.

Yum! I was looking for easy healthy recipes for after my daughter in law has her surgery. Easy enough to bake them up and store in frig or freezer. Then she can just heat and eat when she wants.

We talked about the pineapple with our Italian driver last year when visiting and she was appalled by the idea of that topping lol. She brought us to a restaurant in Sorrento, and on the menu.. pizza with pineapple.

It's not accurate that they don't have food delivery in Italy. Unless I imagined all those DoorDash drivers on mopeds in Naples. The country is changing. They have Amazon now too. LOL.

The absolute only thing you have to remember when in Italy is when you cook pasta break in in half, that way it fits into the pot to boil and that way its not too long so you don't have to twirl it on a fork you can just eat it much easier. Any real Italian already knows this and will never tell you because they figure everyone is taught this since birth

Don't put cheese on your pasta that contains fish such as pasta and shrimp, etc. Don't share your pizza. Don't expect stores to always be open and don't expect store to be closed for 20 minutes or an hour either. Don't order coffee with your meal. Don't wave your hand to hail a taxi.

So the person standing at the door doing nothing gets a tip, but your waiter busting his or her hump doesnt deserve one...

I have been all over Italy. Plus I know lots of Italians. This is not an etiquette video. More about traditions. Nothing really new or shocking or anything you need to follow while there. Be yourself. Tipping is a U.S./Canada thing, so this actually applies to the entire rest of the world. Not just Italy. New Yorkers fold their pizza. Plus don’t eat at 9 at night. It’s terrible for you. This is more of a weekend or holiday thing in Italy. People with normal jobs eat at a regular hour. Lastly, where I live (Canada) very few people walk and eat. So it’s actually not that common. Maybe she notices the hillbillies too much and thinks Italians are special.

I think she’s getting a bit too much sun

I like pineapple and ham on pizza. Sue me.
