@@KaitlinLuksa one of the stupiest questions i have never heard. Please stay away from the kitchen. Your brain is not enough developed to be allowed to cook.
This guy is everything I love about internet over TV chefs. He'd never make it on TV - he's not telegenic, he's overweight and wheezes, he's not media trained, and he's too real. I love him.

I watch this video everyday for the last 5 years when I discovered him. I love his passion for cooking. My favorite part of this video is at the beginning how’s everybody doing!! I love it.
My Man! I cooked this as described and it brought me back 55 years to when I was a child. Awesome flavors reminded me of Sunday dinners long past. Many thanks, grazie!
God bless him. I'm Italian and I don't care if he is not cooking to the exact specs a native Italian would. He's passionate and his sauce turned out wonderfully. Shame on anyone who disrespects him for his recipes due to his physical appearance. You a better Italian, then post your recipe and ensure your face and body are on camera so us wanna be cooks can judge your expertise.
I agree on the haters for his appearance... That's really mean. But this is far from being "real spaghetti gravy", so why call it Italian if it's clearly Italian American? there's quite the difference between the two of them...
gnamorfra having spent 3 years working in jersey, I’d agree with you, seems to me most Italian Americans don’t speak Italian lol, which I found odd. The little phrases here and there but not the full language. Beautiful warm people though. Very passionate about food..... mainly carbs 😀
@@evildead1949 yes, It seems they don't speak Italian, and don't have a clue about Italian food... It's a pity they do not know much about it... ahah thanks! 🍝

Everybody is talking about how they feel bad for him but I'm sitting here knowing he is doing his duty. But yes, the fact that he is out of breath also tells me his food is fucking bomb lol
Love everything about this guy, everything on how he cooks it and how he talks. He talks like my family. People can make fun all they want but u follow what he is doing u will have the best sauce u ever tasted. Grease from meatballs etc. gold!! Love him.

Also the guy is right in my opinon fat does have flavor. My mothers Italian on her fathers side she cooks really good and so do I.

Hey.. You talkin to me? LOL I love the video, it's the real Sunday Gravy.. God Bless my friend.. I grew up with a few Italian families in CT and I've gotta say, I've helped with 15 family members in the finished basements making the sausage, sopressatta, making the pepper sauces, harvesting the tomatoes, potatos, garlic, basil, oregano, you name it, I crushed the tomatoes by hand helped cook them down, etc., I drifted like the dog in Tom and Jerry to the smells lingering from the kitchen while helping out in the garden or whatever we were doing, making wine, processing venison, etc, or even making grappa, bleeding the eggplant.. I did it all. I could smell that Sunday gravy from here my friend.. I'm lovin it!
That is one of the finest messages I have read on youtube, let alone this channel. You took me for a wonderful ride with that message, mr. electronic. Still cookin' that way?

I get that many americanized dishes are crap and or excessive. But you don't need to defend this guy. The dish is authentic. It's an italian regional ragu. And so no, he is not doing something "another way". His grandma's recipe is an authentic italian recipe.
Thanks for sharing that you actually made his recipe and loved it. Can you share what Pork you used? It looks like a pork chop he threw in the pot, but he never said exactly what cut the pork was. Thanks
“Hey, come over here kid, learn something. You never know, you might have to cook for 20 guys someday. You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; you make sure it doesn’t stick. You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs, eh? Add a little bit a wine… and a little bit a sugar… and that’s my trick.”
I grew up on Taylor Street in Chicago during the 60's & 70's and a block away from Ferrara Bakery. You my friend, are Italian!! Thanks for sharing your amazing recipe for Sunday gravy. Will be making this for my Italian in-laws tomorrow.
I have made this exact recipe and it is without fail one of my family's all time favorites. It's a ton of work, however. Homemade meatballs, brasciole... It's time consuming. But all those fresh ingredients... Garlic, fresh basil, parsley, good quality fresh cheese... It's unbelievable. We do this once or twice a year. Fresh homemade garlic bread... Gather your family and friends around and enjoy.
espltd1000 there's nothing wrong with what he's cooking it's tomatoes garlic basil sausage which is pork and pork fat beef has fat but that does not cause heart attacks inflammation does same as cholesterol doesn't cause heart attacks inflammation does
My mother called sauce, my next door neighbor called a gravy either way it tasted wonderful. God bless the Sicilians and Italians for their wonderful cooking that they have bestowed upon our nation
@@TheLAKERSareGodsTeam he’s rich and has 27 restaurants and 15 Michelin stars. You sit home, alone talking shit on RUclips. We know who won the game called life and it wasn’t you.
If you're a body builder and get out of breath lifting heavy weights, how is that any different than an Italian cook getting out of breath when cooking a f'ing masterpiece? I love this effort.
Wow, so many negative comments. I probably wouldn't use this recipe, but the wonderful thing about recipes is that you can take them and make them your own. No matter where someone is from, if you travel to different parts of that country you will see wild variations on some recipes, and it amuses me when people say it's "not the right way" to cook something just because they're from somewhere else - there are as many taste preferences as there are people on the planet, everyone needs to calm WAY down and just enjoy food the way they like it.
That is where you are wrong. This is actually a dish in Italy. He nor his grandma made this up! When or if you change or mix something to your liking then you can call it a dish inspired by. It's a ragu. There are like hundreds if not thousands of different ragu's in Italy alone. Not to mention all the other ragu's in europe, scandinavia, Northern africa etc.. I am not saying that you can't make your own ragu. Ofc you can. But it is just not authentic to a region like the one he makes here. So you don't need to defend him by saying you can just make your own. People are wrong in criticizing the authenticity of his dish in this video. He didn't take a dish and made it his own and proclaimed it to be original. This is genuine.
@@Ianthe22 As italian, I disagree, the title is just wrong; "Italian Dishes" no one in Italy eat stuff like that... maybe is good, maybe not but for sure is not italian.
@@Blackheart-j6j Regional. It's a regional dish. Ofc some of the ingredients have been switched out/in, but in all essence it is a regional dish in Italy.
Don't eat the leftovers for lunch the next day unless you're in hard labor or an Athlete. When you come back from lunch you will want nap if you sit at a desk for a living. Must be a Sunday. 3 or 4 0' clock dinner. It'll put you to bed like a mother.
This ragu..Sunday gravy..whatever you wanna call it is sooo good..its really two meals in one..enjoy the pieces of pork.. sausage.. meat by themselves..then use the stunning meat infused tomato sauce over pasta...a favourite of many 😋😋😋😋 reproduced to perfection by Clemenza.
I have a lot of Italian friends from the old country, and this is how they do it. This guy is the real deal. As they say, "Now that's Italian". Bon Appetit.
If Clemenza had all the pasta and the Sunday gravy in New York, then he must share them, or let others taste them. He must let us draw the Chianti from the cellar. Certainly he can present a bill for such a meal; after all... we are not Communists.
Clemenza makes me wish I had grown up Italian. I love real Italian food. It's not easy to get here down south. So I'm gonna make my own just like Clemenza does it. I had an Italian girlfriend who could really cook. She called it gravy!
+LiamT sorry but that's no chef. Looks exactly like making a stew or casserole! Chuck it all in lol. Americans spent so long slating others cuisine but I've never seen a decent chef!
Oh now I know you're full of it! You're seriously trying to make out I meant his appearance? Ok....he cooks like no chef I've ever seen. Just a typical stuck in the kitchen cooking for 30 years. And before you ask....no that does not make you a chef....the kind we're talking about, where you listed all the 'swanky' places he'd been. I meant Michelin starred. Obviously you just chuck the name chef around in America.....along with that crap you call food!
Anti -Americanism? You have serious eye sight problem if you look at this guy cooking that dish and think 'world class chef right there'! That's your issue. That is cooking, right out a guys manual.....that is not a chef but a cook.
My mom would throw a browned rack of ribs in the sauce, talk about fall off the bone goodness. That pork fat would flavor the sauce and make it stick to the pasta, then I'd sprinkle some Pecorino Romano cheese and I'm good to go.
carlcat Holy Shit...... I’m about to make a “gravy” following these instructions and I just happen to have 3 ribs left over. I’ll put that in with the meat. Thanks for the tip!!!
I'm a west coaster and I was looking for the most authentic Sunday Gravy recipe I can find. 2 seconds into this video and I'm like "Im in the right place"
@@JJJ111JJJ The Italian American community is generally located in the NE coast of the US. There is much less Italian influence on the West Coast. So when the guy in the video embodied a lot of stereotypes and mannerisms of people from the NE East Coast, it gave me confidence in his authenticity.
I love how he can’t help but rifle off all the different meats in the sauce every chance he gets” hot Italian’ sweet Italian saugage , you got your pork, your braciole, your meatballs…”
@@matthewhunter6421 exactly.. and wtf is spagetti gravy ? did he mean ragu ? plus i have never seen a classic italian recipe calling for granulated onion..
See this is a talented & reasonable Italian Chef.. Not only does he take you step by step through it he gives legitimate reasons why there are rules. The best was using garlic and not onion. Why? Because they cancel out. I want to try his restaurant when I’m in the area next time. Good job.
He is not an italian chef. The title of the video is about spaghetti. What he cooked are not spaghetti, are rigatoni instead, with meatballs that nobody in Italy put on pasta.
as of today 7/21/24, Clemeza is still with us, and had lost a great deal of weight... he's still making cooking content, and perhaps all the focus on how unhealthy he was, motivated him to slim down to stay alive.

@@jwm4ever I added a couple of boneless pork chops.. It's what I had on hand..
@@robreyescosme6902 Thanks for that. I'm going to try this and hope It turns out
@@robreyescosme6902 I use bone-in pork steaks.
This guy is absolutely epic, I’d have a beer with him and wanna tell my family afterwards all about it.
How can you not like a video of Italian cooking from a guy named Clemenza?
forgetaboutit lol
"Oh, Paulie? You won't see him no more"
“Hey, come over here kid, learn something. You never know, you might have to cook for 20 guys someday. You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; you make sure it doesn’t stick. You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs, eh? Add a little bit a wine… and a little bit a sugar… and that’s my trick.”
"We're gonna add a little red wine...Eh, we're gonna add a lotta red wine. Why not?"
Before he said we’re gonna put a lot I was thinking woah we have a different definition of a little. You’re pouring half that bottle there sir
@@Hunter2847 Hey whatsamatter! A little or a lot, it depends on who's pouring.
That's like Epic Meal Time: "we put in a little bit of Jack Daniels. Kidding, we put a lot of jack daniels"
I grew up on Taylor Street in Chicago during the 60's & 70's and a block away from Ferrara Bakery. You my friend, are Italian!! Thanks for sharing your amazing recipe for Sunday gravy. Will be making this for my Italian in-laws tomorrow.
Everybody knows that you can't get more Italian than in the US!
I have made this exact recipe and it is without fail one of my family's all time favorites. It's a ton of work, however. Homemade meatballs, brasciole... It's time consuming. But all those fresh ingredients... Garlic, fresh basil, parsley, good quality fresh cheese... It's unbelievable. We do this once or twice a year. Fresh homemade garlic bread... Gather your family and friends around and enjoy.
The best
@Steven Clark I love the taste the wine gives this recipe. It is so very good.
“Some people put wine , some people dont put any wine , some people drink a little wine.”🤣🤣
Yeah, that got me too. Half my mother's family was old school Italian so it really hit close to home.
one of the all-time great comment threads.
I have an Italian sister-in-law who cooks exactly the same thing and it is too good !!! Thank God for the Italian cuisine ❤❤❤
The way he says garlic and pepper, makes me happy.
I have to show this to my cardiologist. It will make me look like a champ and take some heat off me.
He is a full time cardiologist and an Italian/American cook. Get a life and enjoy your tofu.
espltd1000 🤣🤣🤣
espltd1000, that is hilarious.
espltd1000 there's nothing wrong with what he's cooking it's tomatoes garlic basil sausage which is pork and pork fat beef has fat but that does not cause heart attacks inflammation does same as cholesterol doesn't cause heart attacks inflammation does
Never trust a skinny cook.
As a critic once said "I don't like food, I LOOVE food.. and if I don't love the food.. I don't swallow"
I would trust Gordon Ramsay and he's skinny
"Now let's pour an entire jar of mayonnaise and tub of butter into the fryer then when it's done, wait for it to cool and chug it all down."
Im skinny and i can cook my ass off..lol..
Big pappy shooting
My mother called sauce, my next door neighbor called a gravy either way it tasted wonderful. God bless the Sicilians and Italians for their wonderful cooking that they have bestowed upon our nation
"CLEMENZA!!" - Gordon Ramsay
Fuck that pasty fuck. Not Italian, not even latin. "They eat pootsie" with chips, before we gave them the gift of our cuisine.
@Connor L What the fuck do you know? Your name is "CONNOR".
TheLAKERSareGodsTeam espresso, Buffalo mootzadell
@Connor L I would never trust a Brit to make Italian food.
@@TheLAKERSareGodsTeam he’s rich and has 27 restaurants and 15 Michelin stars. You sit home, alone talking shit on RUclips. We know who won the game called life and it wasn’t you.
I'm so glad Vito was here to teach us how to make these dishes.
It's the medication he was taking. But he's over that now
He's a come from behind kind of guy.
Maybe you're a flambe?
Is he dead?
I think this was his brother Gino
"Hey Mikey, why don't you tell that nice girl that you love her?"
Come over here an learn something. You never know when you might have to cook for twenty guys...
I love you with all my heart,if I don't see you again soon I'm a gonna die!😀
@@johnd2375 actually Peter"Fat Pete"Clemenza,one of the Caporegimes.
I lova you witha alla my haaaat, if I donta see you againa soon Ima gonna Die.. Lol - Nice pull bro
I love all of you that have commented on this.
If you're a body builder and get out of breath lifting heavy weights, how is that any different than an Italian cook getting out of breath when cooking a f'ing masterpiece? I love this effort.
Wow, so many negative comments. I probably wouldn't use this recipe, but the wonderful thing about recipes is that you can take them and make them your own. No matter where someone is from, if you travel to different parts of that country you will see wild variations on some recipes, and it amuses me when people say it's "not the right way" to cook something just because they're from somewhere else - there are as many taste preferences as there are people on the planet, everyone needs to calm WAY down and just enjoy food the way they like it.
That is where you are wrong. This is actually a dish in Italy. He nor his grandma made this up! When or if you change or mix something to your liking then you can call it a dish inspired by. It's a ragu. There are like hundreds if not thousands of different ragu's in Italy alone. Not to mention all the other ragu's in europe, scandinavia, Northern africa etc.. I am not saying that you can't make your own ragu. Ofc you can. But it is just not authentic to a region like the one he makes here. So you don't need to defend him by saying you can just make your own. People are wrong in criticizing the authenticity of his dish in this video. He didn't take a dish and made it his own and proclaimed it to be original. This is genuine.
@@Ianthe22 As italian, I disagree, the title is just wrong; "Italian Dishes" no one in Italy eat stuff like that... maybe is good, maybe not but for sure is not italian.
@@Blackheart-j6j Regional. It's a regional dish. Ofc some of the ingredients have been switched out/in, but in all essence it is a regional dish in Italy.
Honestly, this is one of the best cooking videos Ive ever seen. Very easy-to-follow directions and video.
Honestly, from an Italian point of view, this is just a pot full of garbage.
how was this guy not cast in the sopranos?
ESPECIALLY with a name like "Clemenza"! This guy is awesome!
how is he not dead? he can barely breathe in this video
OH! take it easy.
Ty Ler show some respect. He posted this video so we can all learn, not so that you can make stupid comments in order to feel superior.
i cant help but feel very superior to this fat piece of shit.
Love this guy and his passion for Sunday sauce.
The man’s girth is all the proof I need that the gravy is good. Thank you sir.
“Ok” I could watch this guy cook all day.
Watch. I you ate a plate of that awesomeness you'd go into a food coma for about 4 hours.
"We're going to add a little bit of red wine..Eh..We're going to add a lot of red wine" Lol.
Now that just cracked me up !
I cook with wine, and sometimes I put it in the food.
LOL!!!
Handy Capo Julia Child
"Eh...I'm slowly committing suicide..."
Absolutely love this guy
This is my #1 absolute favorite meal. I could definitely eat this every Sunday and never get tired of it...have it for lunch through, cuz it's heavy.
Don't eat the leftovers for lunch the next day unless you're in hard labor or an Athlete. When you come back from lunch you will want nap if you sit at a desk for a living. Must be a Sunday. 3 or 4 0' clock dinner. It'll put you to bed like a mother.
30 seconds In he was out of breath; that's passion .
No, that's congestive heart failure.
this guys the truth
this guy's the truth
all you fucking haters out there just cuz he's overweight doesn't mean that he's not a human need to watch your guyses mouth
I was having to catch my breath while watching. Kick ass video!
Bet all his friends names are Vinny, Kenny, Sal, Rocko, Vince, Tony and Paulie
Edit: Don't forget Mikey, Vito, Mario, Frankie, Tommie, Nicky and Dom
Don’t forget Vito
Chrissy, Mike, Mario
There are three less Paulies here than in reality
lol he talk like Robert de niro
and Paul
Really like how he puts on a show without trying to put on a show. Zero Hollywood bullshit, just the real deal as it should be. Subscribed.
This is Johnny Two Times, Two Times.
He says everything twice.
Give him a minute tho because he needs to take a breather in between
"Im gonna go get the papers, get the papers." Then there was Niki Eyes. " Hey what up guy."
😆 🤣 😂
Gotta Get the Papers: Get the Papers..
This IS how you do it. Best recipe on youtube. Remember a cook who isn't a tad plump is not a good cook.Take a look at Molto Mario.
He must be a really great cook then. Karen Carpenter must not have been a good cook.
I feel like I walked in on a mafia boss telling his wife how to cook
A mob boss would just slap her around
Fair enough
This ragu..Sunday gravy..whatever you wanna call it is sooo good..its really two meals in one..enjoy the pieces of pork.. sausage.. meat by themselves..then use the stunning meat infused tomato sauce over pasta...a favourite of many 😋😋😋😋 reproduced to perfection by Clemenza.
When he said "get your braciole up in there" at 3:25, I couldn't help but have a chuckle! LOL!
I had three kids that way.
you mean 3:23

“I don’t use onion and garlic. They cancel each other out” then towards the end- proceeds to add granulated onion and granulated garlic. Lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Goddamn cancel culture.
The guy has no idea what he is doing
that was top seasoning it wasn't cooked in so it didn't cancel out anything.
maybe he means FRESH garlic and onion... granulated only gives about half the potency...
Furio really let himself go.
Lol still misses Carmela
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
😂😂😂
Omg lol...!!!!!!!! Best comment ever ....!
Fucking underrated
Some people drink a little wine, and some add a lotta red wine. Love you man!
Jezz!!!. that guy is going to have a heart attack just by doing that. He can barely breath!!!
I was gonna say the same thing.
Lol
lets not act like superior assholes
I feel for this guy.. I hope he is on a path to a healthier life..
he's not
I feel sorry for his bald patch, that is on long comb over
He's out of breath just standing still, dude, lay off the bracciole!
Fucking guy sounded like he was about to drop dead during the video.
Yeah, and I feel sorry for you for feeling sorry for a guy who is probably pretty damn content as it is. Are you?
Thank you and God bless you.
Beautiful recipe !!!
My great grandpa - Sicilian, lived in Buffalo, NY.
Ciao.
We Sicilians are Very Proud ITALIAN - AMERICANS !
The minute I saw this guy, I knew he's a real deal.
He went from 0 to Out of breath reeeaaaalllll quick
Don‘t Put too Many Onions In The Sauce LMAO
I put 3 small onions, that's it I swear. And 2 cans of tomatoes, 2 big cans!
Instead of crushing the garlic he should have sliced it. Cut it very thinly with a razor blade so that it liquidfies in the butter.
Two Big cans!! lol
i thought he used too many onions
@@maxaaronorellana6022 still made a pretty good sauce.
Can I hire this guy to be my uncle he's so awesome great cook and great personality I just love it 10/10
Looks amazing.... In 2016 I was in New York for 2 day... Biggest regret I didn't get to go to little Italy and get some authentic Italian food..
I was trying to explain to someone what sugo was and this is pretty close to the Sunday gravy I grew up with. Good job sir, my Nonna would approve 😊
I have a lot of Italian friends from the old country, and this is how they do it. This guy is the real deal. As they say, "Now that's Italian". Bon Appetit.
@@forchetta611 exactly ... I like when people wanna talk about things they don't have a clue about :)))
@@forchetta611 are you honestly saying this isn’t real Italian, cmon now
@@forchetta611 I don't think they fuck with the links really, thats some east coast shit, or maybe some Sicilian grease ball shit
If Clemenza had all the pasta and the Sunday gravy in New York, then he must share them, or let others taste them. He must let us draw the Chianti from the cellar. Certainly he can present a bill for such a meal; after all... we are not Communists.
lol
Genius comment 😎
😂😂 don barzini voice
Clemenza makes me wish I had grown up Italian. I love real Italian food. It's not easy to get here down south. So I'm gonna make my own just like Clemenza does it. I had an Italian girlfriend who could really cook. She called it gravy!
Your Italian girlfriend WAS RIGHT !
My Sicilian Grandmother and my Dad call it Gravy so I do too
The man may be out of breath but he knows how to make gravy.
+LiamT really? i'm sure it looks nice but he seems really sloppy
+LiamT sorry but that's no chef. Looks exactly like making a stew or casserole! Chuck it all in lol. Americans spent so long slating others cuisine but I've never seen a decent chef!
Seriously?? What's the grade for an American chef? Because he looks nowhere near capable. This guy is no chef.
Oh now I know you're full of it! You're seriously trying to make out I meant his appearance? Ok....he cooks like no chef I've ever seen. Just a typical stuck in the kitchen cooking for 30 years. And before you ask....no that does not make you a chef....the kind we're talking about, where you listed all the 'swanky' places he'd been. I meant Michelin starred. Obviously you just chuck the name chef around in America.....along with that crap you call food!
Anti -Americanism? You have serious eye sight problem if you look at this guy cooking that dish and think 'world class chef right there'! That's your issue. That is cooking, right out a guys manual.....that is not a chef but a cook.
My mom would throw a browned rack of ribs in the sauce, talk about fall off the bone goodness. That pork fat would flavor the sauce and make it stick to the pasta, then I'd sprinkle some Pecorino Romano cheese and I'm good to go.
👌
Yes. Missing Ribs. A must.
Mmmmmmm......
Ooohhh, sounds good to me!
carlcat Holy Shit...... I’m about to make a “gravy” following these instructions and I just happen to have 3 ribs left over. I’ll put that in with the meat. Thanks for the tip!!!
I'm a west coaster and I was looking for the most authentic Sunday Gravy recipe I can find. 2 seconds into this video and I'm like "Im in the right place"
What's the significance of you being a west coaster? I live on the north eastern coast of Sweden.
@@JJJ111JJJ The Italian American community is generally located in the NE coast of the US. There is much less Italian influence on the West Coast. So when the guy in the video embodied a lot of stereotypes and mannerisms of people from the NE East Coast, it gave me confidence in his authenticity.
I love how he can’t help but rifle off all the different meats in the sauce every chance he gets” hot Italian’ sweet Italian saugage , you got your pork, your braciole, your meatballs…”
love this guy ! perfect gravy ! i could sit and watch him cook all day because he loves what he does ! perfecto !
I watch a lot of cooking videos, and this guy gets my approval. He's the real deal.
as long as you're not looking for real Italian.
@@matthewhunter6421 exactly.. and wtf is spagetti gravy ? did he mean ragu ? plus i have never seen a classic italian recipe calling for granulated onion..
@@matthewhunter6421 Fuck off with this gatekeeping bullshit. Does the food look good or not? Thats the only thing that matters
@@matthewhunter6421 dude this guy is Italian, he obviously makes real Italian food
@@matthewhunter6421 Bullshit = Real Italian sitting here. Clamenza does things just fine.
See this is a talented & reasonable Italian Chef.. Not only does he take you step by step through it he gives legitimate reasons why there are rules. The best was using garlic and not onion. Why? Because they cancel out. I want to try his restaurant when I’m in the area next time. Good job.
He is not an italian chef. The title of the video is about spaghetti. What he cooked are not spaghetti, are rigatoni instead, with meatballs that nobody in Italy put on pasta.
No onions, just garlic, like my grandma made. Perfect, authentic recipe. Grazie!
