I am not Italian but i was gonna write the exact same thing and then i saw your comment. Hands down Italian food is just sooooooooo tasty. I love Italy
Yeah Daniel is right, they are two different things. Both are a reinvention of an Austrian pastry; cornetto was created 100 hundred years before croissant (and croissant was brought in France by Marie Antoinette in 1770), that's why in France croissants and similar are called viennoiserie. Everyone thinks that cornetto is an Italian version of croissant but instead they are two different and separated things. Also the recipe is quite different (for example cornetto has eggs and croissants has not, and has more sugar than croissant as well).
Daniel Calvi Actually it was first created in Vienna, to celebrate victory over Turks in siege of 1683. Marie Antoniette brought it in France and her sister Maria Carolina in the kingdom of Naples in Italy.
the dude's excitement over you enjoying your sandwich just shows how much passion he has for what he does. It's always easy to tell when someone loves doing what they do.
I’m so glad you finally went to Italy! There’s no comparison to the cured meats there. As an Italian teacher, just one note: cornetti are not the same as croissants! Lighter and less buttery, and generally filled with jam. ❤️
"This is like Super Saiyan 4 Goku fighting your Uncle Bob". Just when I thought I couldn't love him any more, he turns out to be a DBZ fan... AWESOMENESS!!!
dabu5459 check out the channel Pi Suarez he has awesome Mexican food videos every week on Friday... I also like Mark Wiens he travels constantly all over... Enjoy
Hey mikey! I went to Italy a few years back and it was the best place for sandwiches. I had my most memorable in Venice, with about an inch of prosciutto and nearly a whole ball of mozza melted into the best bread ever. I loved this video, it brought back so many memories
As soon as I saw this title I knew it would be All’Antico Vinaio! Their sandwiches are life-changing. I also can’t believe how empty it is in this video! Usually there’s a huge line out the door.
Oh im so glad you went to All'Antico.. I was going to suggest it to you as a place you HAD to try before realizing you weren't in Italy anymore. You aren't kidding when you say that it is truly far and away better than any sandwich out there, and it isnt close. It really is unbeatable for taste and the price is ridiculous, my mouth was watering just remembering that sammie. To be honest, that goes for all of Italy, I try and tell everyone to visit. There are a lot of good places to eat in the states, but none of it compares to Italy in terms of freshness and quality. On my first bite, It was immediately apparent to me how processed/preserved our food is. Everything in Italy is made in house, or comes from the local market that morning, building dishes around produce that is in season, and you can taste the difference without question. Great job with the vids, im loving the Italy series, such a great country. p.s. - I hate to be a stickler, but it is a confusing one, it is actually pronounced Por-ket-ta.
Glad you enjoyed italian streed food! Welcome back anytime in Italy and I hope you will try also other delicious streetfood from other regions of Italy! :)
Anyone who had the intelligence to subscribe to Mikey’s channel knows that they have been blessed. Hands down, Mikey is the best food reviewer in a crowd of excellent food reviewers. I look forward to watching him almost daily, as he knows how to make you drool and want whatever it is he is eating! Thanks Mikey! You’re the best there is! Cheers, Colin.
Hey Mikey, I don't know if it's too late or not, but try to avoid gelato that's stacked really high, as well as gelato with really bright colors. It's not considered real gelato by Italians, and is only eaten by tourists. If you want the real gelato experience, go for more natural looking colors. A great give away is the pistachio flavor. If it's a bright green, it's fake. It should be more of a muddy greenish brown. Cheers
That sandwich place is one of my favorites in Florence too. The boss is my favorite there sure. The creamy cheese they do there is insanely good. Next time you need to try pinos sandwiches aka salumeria verdi get the magic zbd or the spring time. SO GOOD!
When I was in Italy that Gelato place with the chocolate waterfall was where I went as well. There was a gelato place across the street that I preferred though.
You just confirmed for me that I need to go to italy/florence/Rome one day! Hopefully someday soon. Just know when I do I'll be rewatching your videos. Cause i need that sandwich
I cannot believe you went to Cinque Terre!! I’ve wanted to go for so long, now it looks like a month long trip with stops in many places would be the best for Italy. Fabulous job on this trip. More Europe definitely!
I can not believe you finished both sandwiches! Haha, the guys at the shop must love you! There's something satisfying about someone clearly enjoying your food. =)
Honestly I havent been watching mikey for a long time now, idk if he still does those videos where he talks about historical stuff. It kinda surprises me that he's doing this now, idk if he used to do it before as well. I'm not disappointed, but it's a big change to see him change what I'm used to seeing him do. Anyways, it's good to see him healthy and living life to the fullest
Love you man....the way to experience food is Fab. Makes even the most diet conscious person go swooning over with just a mere mention of food. Trust me.
At 2:48, "Chew on THAT, Subway!" Laughed out loud, literally. Great contrast between American corporate food that most Americans think is "normal" and REAL food from Europe! Nice.
I love watching your videos but mostly all the ones about Japan. Then I noticed you had a few italy videos! I had to check and see if you went to Vinaio. It was the best sandwiches in Florence. Me and my hubby literally ate here everyday. Only thing that beat this sandwich out was my first rare steak ever from il Latini. If you ever go back to Florence check this place out. Get the smallest steak. Not sure if they have smaller ones because they are usually shared between two people but in Italy steak is called bistecca. Get it rare with the fried vegetables. The best meal I had in all of italy
Simple is best in food, bake focaccia all the time, to make sandwiches is great but, freshly baked, dipped in QUALITY EVOO, slip away on it to the God's of taste and moments to cherish. Wonderful
FYI, its pronounced... por-ket-ta and the tomato bread is pronounced Bru-sket-ta...lol i'm so jealous. Haven't been back in 30 years :( you're the best!!
I tried the roast beef sandwich. Only available from one of the 4 shops next to each other, with wine option. For 7 euro, that was the best meal on the whole trip.
Can attest, we went there daily during our stay in Florence for lunch because we were on the move so much. You can build your own and they charge the same price
_"Chew on that subway! Gonna show you a tonne of love you never felt before! Chinese new year came early for me!"_ + thumbnail... you must really appreciate that piece of 'wich work, huh, mikey??😆😆👍👍
Next time you visit Florence . don´t forget to visit Trattoria ZA ZA next to Mercato Centrale ... and if you want to have a delicious dessert try a nutella waffle at Borgo San Lorenzo number 21: Gelateria La Tris. It´s not your traditional fluffy waffle.. its dense , rich , caramelized and it melts in your mouth. LOVE your vids !!! A big Hello from La Paloma , Uruguay
Oh man love your videos please do a new workout video I really need it now because all I see is food in front of my eyes I need to face the harsh reality to 😂😂😂
Mikey Chen I bet!! You ever coming to Florida? There are some amazing food places here that you would absolutely love! Thank you for the reply I've been waiting so long. Lol. I love your videos man, I sharr the same love with food as you! Thank you for everything you do and for being the person you are.
Hi mikey My children want to say hi and thank you for all the yummy food. We watch your uploads together and my oldest is so excited to travel. You should come to Australia one day, come try some traditional indigenous tucker.
He talked about this before, he doesn’t really show the bad places he goes to and only shows the places he really likes. So it only seems that he likes everything
Also love your references! They are perfect. Also if you want great gelato next time try La Strega Nocciola over by Pitti Palace. Had my favorite flavor of gelato Azteca. My favorite of any I got from any place I went to Italy and I are gelato probably 3 times a day in every city I visited. Also go to Gelateria dei Neri and get the crema di pistachio ice cream. Or something like that. Was so good!
Italian’s know how to eat!!! Some of the most amazing food in the world. When people are asked what their favorite food is? The majority answer, “Italian”. lol It’s not that way because it’s unearned - Italy 🇮🇹 has it in lockdown!!!
Croissant is salty and it is a french thing, what you're having is a cornetto, it's sweet and it's an italian staple
I am not Italian but i was gonna write the exact same thing and then i saw your comment. Hands down Italian food is just sooooooooo tasty. I love Italy
not all croissants are salty tho

That sandwich shop in Florence - They have a location here in NYC in Time Square that just opened !!!

When mikey says best ever you know it has to be extremely good!!!!!
without question, i elaborated in a post above, but it is absurd how good it is.
Uh, he says it for about 80% of the things he eats.
I've been there and had an Inferno. It was the most delicious sandwich I've ever had.
I Love Mikey Chen ❤❤❤ He is a nice person 👍👍👍 His videos make me more hungry always! Hats off.!! 👍👍

Bright colors always equals to tourist scam...!!! 😨
LMAO i ate that type of gelato in venice, Italy and i dont think anyone would want to know what happened to me after.
I hope I wont be those tourist that make the same mistake.
@@Awaitingonyouall rainbow poop?
can you recommend some in Florence?
Gelateria dei neri!!! The best gelato i've ever had! And i ate gelato twice a day when we were in Florence!
Italian people LOVE people who love their food with gusto. The crunch of that bread is phenomenal.
That sandwich place is one of my favorites in Florence too. The boss is my favorite there sure. The creamy cheese they do there is insanely good. Next time you need to try pinos sandwiches aka salumeria verdi get the magic zbd or the spring time. SO GOOD!
You should really have a TV show. Your presenting skills are brilliant.
Who watches television anymore?
Mikey you are the best youtuber ever I love your videos so much and you are a good man better than others
When I was in Italy that Gelato place with the chocolate waterfall was where I went as well. There was a gelato place across the street that I preferred though.
THIS PLACE IS AMAAAAAZING. I was upset I didn’t see you go here in Your Florence video. BUT YOU DID
I came across your channel a couple months ago and have basically binge watched your videos, def one of my fav people to watch.
You just confirmed for me that I need to go to italy/florence/Rome one day! Hopefully someday soon. Just know when I do I'll be rewatching your videos. Cause i need that sandwich
I want to downvote this for making me so hungry, but i just cant
I cannot believe you went to Cinque Terre!! I’ve wanted to go for so long, now it looks like a month long trip with stops in many places would be the best for Italy.
Fabulous job on this trip. More Europe definitely!
I'm so glad you ate that second sandwich... best one I ever ate in my life!
Love the new intro. Those sandwiches look so awesome and tasty. I agree. Make a #3 and would be wonderful.
I can not believe you finished both sandwiches! Haha, the guys at the shop must love you! There's something satisfying about someone clearly enjoying your food. =)
Had this in Italy. Definitely the best sandwich ever!
I am not Italian but I love italy it's so beautiful and amazing country and delicious food.
Sweet. You’re doing a great service to all of us who don’t travel but like to eat. Thanks.
Honestly I havent been watching mikey for a long time now, idk if he still does those videos where he talks about historical stuff.

Simple is best in food, bake focaccia all the time, to make sandwiches is great but, freshly baked, dipped in QUALITY EVOO, slip away on it to the God's of taste and moments to cherish. Wonderful
Love your videos. Both of the sandwiches looked amazing. I am a DB fan too lol. I would love to travel and try amazing foods like you do one day
I need that sandwich! Send one to Sweden, please! Great channel. Thank you for showing all the good food.
Heading to Florence on Sunday be there Monday. Looking forward to it.
Just when I thought I couldn't enjoy your videos anymore... BAM you hit us with a Dragon Ball reference. Keep up the awesome work sir!
That new intro is 🔥🔥🔥
Just one thing: “porchetta” is pronounced “porketta”. Cheers from Italy 👍
So happy you're in Italy!!! Go south and go nuts on seafood!!! Naples make the best pizzas and gelatos
Ahhhh the sandwich I saw on Food Insider. You are so lucky Mike!
Next time you're in Florence you should really try the "lampredotto" because is a very particular sandwich only made in Florence.
There are certain times of the day you can watch Mikey. In the middle of the night when you're hungry is NOT one of them.
Those sandwiches looks so good ! I want to visit Florence Italy someday ! Yum !!!! Thanks and Chow Mikey !!!
Bro your channel is legit!
Saludos de Los Angeles!!!!
this vlog was really good and the food was looking incredible
Love the Dragon Ball analogy! You rule Mikey!!!!
It's 3 am now in my place, and it's so very wrong to be watching this delicious video....#hungry
I allways watch Mike chen when im going to eat, then i dont feel alone and i can manage to eat what i need❤
FYI, its pronounced... por-ket-ta and the tomato bread is pronounced Bru-sket-ta...lol i'm so jealous. Haven't been back in 30 years :( you're the best!!
You are correct good sir.
Perchè ? La De laurentis ha un programma di cucina in america ?!? E chi l'aiuta ? Sofia Loren ?
TravelerPat If she is Italian (and she is) i dont need to check if she pronounces them propely :)
Mikey Chen!! Love your videos! Best foodvlogger ever!

So jealous of this trip and food!! I hear the pizza in Rome is the best. I want to go to Napoli. Family came from there

"Diluted flower water" LOL. You know a sandwich is on point when it's larger than your face! I love everything spicy. OMG I want the L'inferno!

As someone who has also had a sandwich from there, it really is the best.
When it comes to food, Italy is one of my destination goals.
When u hold that sandwich with one hand it made me super anxious man !😂

I am totally finding this place for those sandwiches! Yummmmm
I love the small portion sizes of the third restaurant , means you can try lots of different dishes
That crunchy bite says a lot.
