Great Podcast ... Love bringing the tradition back...

Boston is so underrated. Tremendous city.
For a city with 600,000 people it has more of a 2 million feel
Proud to be an Italian/American. I chose to live in Italy but always love to see my brothers in the U.S. keeping our traditions going

@@vivereultras1897 ma che cazzo state dicendo
@@riccardoferraro9333 ma che cazzo stai dicendo te !!!! Ma dove vivi ?! Nel sud Italia per i giovani non c’è nessuna opportunità di lavoro…in America ancora c’è quindi che cazzo stai dicendo
@@vivereultras1897 ragazzi io ho mezza famiglia statunitense, ma mio padre ha preferito vivere in Italia, perché per molti aspetti si vive meglio qui che negli Usa
@@manuelmatteiambrosiana1298 io pure tengo parenti in America in Florida e posso assicurarti che sono andati la per motivi di lavoro partendo da qua negli anni 60 e poi sono rimasti la in America perché è 10 volte meglio in tutti i sensi
I'm from Irish heritage but everytime I eat at an Italian restaurant in the north end I feel like they go out of there way to make you feel like your family no matter who you are love the north end and the Italian culture
Italian mediterranean culture warm sociable and love talking and makin the feelin of family i am algerian and we socialize alot as medeteraneans i feel like italians are the closest europeans to us
@Amr Del you guys have an identity crisis issue.
One day you're African, one day you don't wanna be seen as Africans, another day you're European
@@pistolpete8231 The world is coming together. More and more of us have mixed families. Hopefully it is helping to end racism.
Love the north end restaurants. The mom and pop ones that you find down the side streets there with a few tables are top shelf.
My family came from Sicily and settled in the North End of Boston in 1901. They were fisherman, grocery business and butcher shop. They bought property on Fleet St and Moon St and never looked back. I played as a youngster on the streets of the N End and worked in my fathers butcher shop for many years. Wonderful people and neighborhood !
My grandfather also grew up on Fleet Street!!
I’m so lucky/proud to be born and raised in Boston…I go to the North End all the time, love it.
Always be proud to come from Boston they either love or hate us ! It’s a special little melting pot of culture always changing! But holds deep history!
Boston’s North End is a classy place 🤌🏼
Old expensive apartment with limited on and off street parking 😃

@B L oh Jesus.. here you go
@B L eyyyyy
@@outlyfe7570 just say you can't parallel park.
Great neighborhood. I remember being there in 1994 during the World Cup and seeing the soccer team from Italy kicking the ball down one of the side streets with a bunch of little kids running around them.
World Cup in which Brazil was champion over Italy hahahahah hugs from my Brazil my friend. I have Italian part too but in football I am Brazil because we are the kings of football. Hugs from Brazil to Boston. #GoPats
I love the little Italy in Boston. Great food and people. I am in San Diego California and our little Italy is dying off, gentrification. I had an opportunity to live on the Italian Swiss border for 2 years. I loved visiting the nearby Italian cities. I had an opportunity to travel the entire Italian country and I love their culture and food. Boston for sure one of the best little Italy in the USA.
At least you have a LI in SD. We don't have any such thing in Los Angeles.
@@rockyracoon3233 a lot of these cultural centers are dying off. For example we use to have a China Town just like L. A.... Not any more
@@drfrankm. Sad to hear.
San Fran north end was so similar to Boston I felt the vibe! I’m raised from Malden/Revere Mass haven’t been to the east coast in 7 years long story short the food in San Fran was great and authentic had a blast ! 🍕🍝🇮🇹
@@JB-sv5pr . I love San Fran north as well. In spite of the politics of SF, I am quite fond of that town.
As an American Italian myself ( from Queens/Staten Island) I was proud to watch this and learn about Boston's North End. I love that the Italian culture is flourishing there and plan on visiting soon. I am looking forward to more episodes and immediately subscribed.
I've heard THE HILL in St louis is the real deal also. In NYC Arthur Ave is a business only Italian neighborhood, and i get sad every time i go through Bensonhurst. The place went from being a beautiful Italian neighborhood to a PIG STY.
@@bgandjsco1 Bhurst is another Chinatown these days. Dyker Heights and Howard Beach are still standing strong.
I'm Irish/Italian/Scottish great to see this video.
The entire Northeastern States have a beautiful culture of Italian Americans.
A culture that our politicians in Italy want to cancel in the name of the most depressing homologation. Traces of it will remain abroad
I remember the first time when I visited Boston in 2001 my dad brought me to this neighborhood because he is a little bit obsessed with Italian American culture and history. Long story short, we both loved it 🤗
Auguri! Salute’ from Chicago Forza Italia! Forza Sicilia tutti Italiani! 🇮🇹💪🏻
I'm from New England and There ain't no better people up there than The Italians. They are good people and Loving they will feed you if you need feeding. Much Love
Street parking is nightmare.😂
@@outlyfe7570 Yeah Parking is a Nightmare, but it's well worth it once you do find a spot
you ain’t enjoying boston if you don’t use public transportation
I love this video. My grandparents came from Calabria (settled in Western Pennsylvania), and I have been to the North End about 20 years ago. This makes me want to go back tomorrow. If my Dad was alive he would really enjoy this and the celebration of Italian culture. God bless.
I was born Chilean but adopted into an Italian-American family since a baby. I'm so blessed to be apart of the cuisine and culture. I remember watching the 2006 World Cup final in the North End at some underground restaurant. After the PK shootout, my god; the streets were a flooded with Italian flags waiving and Azzurri jerseys. Boston's Little Italy is amazing.
Snooki is Chilean adopted by Italian Americans 😊
Growing up 30 minutes north of Boston I’m desensitized to the city itself it’s a little videos like this that highlight the area I call home that makes me really appreciate where I’m from
I'm Brazilian and I have Italian roots. Watching here from Brazil and hugs to Boston. I've been rooting for the Patriots since 2013 because I love this city. I have prints to prove hahahaha #GoPats Go Brazil, Forza Italia!
Bel video! Grazie per aver condiviso questo.
Best regards,
TGV
Being British/Italian I love it when I see my American/Italian Brothers showing you around there Little Italy's. It's fantastic that they have like us in Englang, have never forgot our wonderful homeland Italy. The passion and heritage they still show reminds me of the British/Italian. It's fantastic after all the years that have passed since our immigrant grandparents left Italy to settle all over the world that we their offspring still celebrate our culture and heritage! Via l'italia per sempre 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇲 I just love you Italian/Americans so passionate for our culture!!
Cheers BriTalian!
I feel the same way as you Tony
🇮🇹 🏴
*viva, via means "go away" 😀
Viva, ci manca la vu
we always say Italian American. we love this country,, if you have Italian blood and Italian upbringing it is unique
My 11 y/o son and I visited from Texas. He was thrilled when he overheard a group of older Italian guys talking. He said “dad he just talked about a guy named Vito. Just like the movies!”
I’m loving this show…I’m just a teeny tiny bit Italian genetically but my heart is full of love for ALL things Italian ❤️
Love this whole presentation - the music - the ride - the talk - the walk. Makes my world so much better.
Sal you are a natural in front of the camera , strong & eloquent, good interviews 🇺🇸♥️🙏🏽,thanks for the Italian history hi from NY.❤️
I have been missing my friend Albie so much, I searched his name under Boston and your amazing video came up! It made me so happy to see him in the bakery. I miss you Albie ❤️
I’ll always remember walking the North End with you, you were a celebrity.
Love the staying true to your heritage and keeping it Italian! Legendary
Sal, I never knew you - but went to high school with Albie. I was so happy to see your memorial of him in this video..... He was quite a guy. Last thing he told me was that he loved me.... as I loved him. Thank you for doing this. Great job.
Love this show! Love seeing the different people and places! Thank you!
Sal, the voice, is not only a great singer, but he's darn good at interviews also. So natural. Loved seeing you Sal.
This is fascinating. Was there about 20 years ago. Great food! Aside from the famous NY little Italy and San Diego’s, there is also Sao Paulo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Those cities have great little Italys. There are so many great little Italy’s around the globe. Italians took there amazing culture everywhere.
Argentina as well as Uruguay are little Italy as a whole
It's a little more over there. I think like 2/3 of Argentina has Italian heritage, the whole country is little Italy lol.
The pizzerias and restaurants in the
North end of Boston
Are OFF THE HOOK!!!!! THE BEST!!!
Great video with excellent photography and music. Sal sang on AGT season 11, the year Grace Vanderwaal won. He's a terrific host. I grew up in Boston and haven't been back in years, but if I did, I would head straight for these restaurants. I love hearing how everyone still talks the same. Really nostalgic, and with such authenticity in manners and love of the food culture. You know this food rocks!
I went last year for first time and was pleasantly surprised that the North End was still very much Italian. So many "Little Italy's" in cities throughout the US are gone or shrinking. It's a beautiful culture worth preserving.
you don't have to live in your own little seclusion to keep your culture. This is the opposite of diversity.
@@standingbear998 ok but gentrification is what’s turning these once Italian, Irish, or other cultural enclaves into yuppie neighborhoods
The north end was settled by the Italians 300 years ago and STILL has the best Italian in Boston. Was down in the north end every other weekend at the pasta shops, salumerias, pastry shops and restaurants.
When I dated a girl from Calabria my grandmother said " destitue de calabrase," I cant spell it but definitely thick headed. My wife is from Monet Di procida. My family is from Catania. These neighborhood reminds me of old NY/Brookly/LI
Such a Great Episode of Get in the Car hosted by Sal the Voice. Keep ‘Em Coming and I’ll keep Watching. Sal is a great Host. God Bless
❤️😍❤️
You can tell it's crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Amazing
Extremely well done to all involved, bravo!
You're such a natural at this Sal! So polished. Really enjoyed this tour and looking forward to watching the rest of this channel. Liked and subscribed! Salute!
I spent a year in Boston. And I can tell you is the best Italian food I've ever had. Spend a long weekend there and you will not regret it.
So good to see Sal Valentinetti again! This RUclips channel of Growing Up Italian is amazing! The video footage was eye appealing and made my mouth water; from aerial footage to the table, I vicariously taste every bite of the salumeria sanguicio, the fresh ricotta lobster tail, and steaming hot espresso! Looks like a good clean neighborhood; As Mr Vaccaro said: every local eatery serves variations of the same recipes. How do people make you feel! Cannot wait to visit Boston North End! And, please let us know when Sal the Voice Valentinetti performs in the future! Buona fortuna a voi tutti from the Philadelphia suburbs! 🥊🗽🛩🚲🚙😁🍅🌶🥖☕🥐🎭⚽🔔🎥🎬📚🎇
Italian Americans are sons of a great history full of culture and traditions, a hug from Italy guys❤️🇮🇹
Dude the legend was the real Italian stallion rocky marciano from brockton mass 20 miles south from Boston.
Absolutely. But Tony De Marco was a Great fighter too. My all time favorite is Rocky Marciano. The greatest of all time. The Brocton Blockbuster.
Being from NYC, i have to say this reminds me of how things use to be even though I'm a Yankees fan i gotta visit the north end now with my family.🇮🇹
Having lived in Little Italy Chicago in the mid 2000’s. The Italian American museum was there along with the Columbus statue. I went back in late 2021 and the museum is gone along with the statue! I’m not even Italian and this is so sad. The neighborhood has all but lost its soul! Don’t let this happen in your neighborhood, you guys have a good thing going! I love it 🇮🇹🇺🇸
Happened in Boston too.The statute of Christopher Columbus is gone from the North End
Cristoforo Colombo
@@matildesantos4215 these damn cancel culture punks need to go to hell.
Liberals destroyed it so they could brag about how woke they are.
Born and raised in Boston with latin roots and every time I got to the north end, the culture the buildings really does feel like I’m in Italy
Ho conosciuto Sal su AGT e sono rimasto affascinato da lui e dalla sua bellissima voce...questo video fatto da lui è stupendo e vedere le nostre meravigliose tradizioni della cucina italiana così ben rappresentate in America mi riempie di orgoglio e felicità...grande Sal, I love you! 🥰
Raised in South Boston but Love the North End. Great Video keep up the good work!
Lived in many Boston neighborhoods, back i the 70's and 80's....do they still refer to South Boston as "Southie"
Great job Sal. Lived in Boston for 15 yrs my favorite place.... The north end
We just stayed a week there the end of March. What a great, cool weather spring break with the family. Clean, safe and beautiful. If you stay in the North End you can walk almost anywhere in the city. Day or night you will feel safe walking around. Italia!
Love this video it reminds me when I was a child with my parents god do i miss those days thank you and god bless
Great job Sal.. I'm Calebrese.. my grandfather is also Salvatore.. this show is right up my alley.. you keep making them.. I'll keep watching..
Salute!🍷🍷
Calabrese, not calebrese. Di dove sei? ^^
If you're calabrese i'm the emperor of Japan. Claudiohito
Mamma mia che spettacolo - much love from Italy 🇮🇹❤️
I live in Boston near Symphony, but I love all of this city. Your vlog about the North End is the best I’ve seen. You captured the spirit of one of our best neighborhoods. Thank you!
WOW SAL!! I really enjoyed this!! Thanks for sharing, I just came across this video, I have been a fan of yours since I watched you on America's Got Talent..... and I am so glad to see that you're not only successful, but sharing your Italian heritage like this is just so awesome!
I am American made..... with Irish / Scottish parts... lol! But as I have grown older (I'm 61) I have truly enjoyed learning about other cultures and history in videos like yours!! Thank you, and I look forward to watching your other videos like this.... have a blessed day Sal.... take care!!!
Love this! Great video!
Very well hosted and produced. I loved the B-roll you guys showed. Cool to learn more about a neighborhood right nearby
Absolutely loved this video! When my father came to this country from Avellino this is where my family settled. This definitely hit home seeing all the old places. Love it!
My husband's family is from Avellino, too! Calitri.
My great-grandparents (Cotillo) came from Avellino and settled in the North End. Many of their neighbors were from the same village.
What an awesome video. salute! im half abruzzese/Molisano, half calabrese. I been to Molise, my next goal is to visit Calabria.
Ok, the North End is one of my favorite parts of Boston. Is it as heavily Italian as it used to be? No. Is it more touristy than it used to be? Yes. BUT, it is still very much worth the visit, and like most of Boston, it is all walkable. Modern Pastry is certainly good, but Mike’s and Bova’s are also very good. Unlikely you will go wrong in any case. The food is always good. I have my favorites, but they are all very good. Finally, if you can go during St.Anthony’s Festival, (August) then that is very good. Just fun with some music and the church activities. Nothing like in the old days, BUT still a good time. Go! It’s a small neighborhood. You won’t get lost. 😊
Its still that good, you just have to more open and discerning to see it and meet the real people. Enjoy!
Mr Light. I agree…it’s different than twenty years ago and not for the better. However, still go but do not get induced by the new “culture”
I was born and raised in the North End 70 years ago. It's not what it used to be for sure. Too many "beautiful people" living there now driving out the old...
@@tjgreen7485 They didn't drive them out. The old people cashed in - as was their right. they worked hard for it.
Well done Sal. All the passion in your voice is what sells it. Forza Calabria..
Greetings to you all from Italy, your channel is very interesting. Keep it up mate!
LET'S GO! Sal the Voice!
Love the video keep it up ,salutti from an italian in Toronto ❤👍👏🇮🇹
Great job, Sal. My wife and I go to Modern all the time. Her grandparents all lived there way back when. Love the phrase "University of Hanover" but that food is making my mouth water. One thing I really miss is Tecce's. Broke my heart when it closed. Cheers!
Ohhhh!!!! I'm also Italian American . Well half from my pop's side. Im a native born New Yorker from the Bronx. I lived in Salem Mass. Back in the early 80s and enjoyed the North Boston area .... But I also gotta say Arthur Ave. In the Bronx and the Morris Park area of the Bronx still also has some great restaurants and deli's too. When I retire. I most likely? Will try and move into that area of Boston? Or maybe ? Even back in the old neighborhood in the Bronx. The 2 cities in my view? The best in the U.S. Anyway Sal? Thanks huh? By the way? My youngest brother also is named Sal. Small world huh? Madone!! Grazie mille for sharing and bringing this 64 year old guy a great memory and really making hungry lol. Salute ... Cin cin ......
North end has changed. Its now overrun by the yups. Still a cool place. My father and mother grew up as kids there in the 40-50s then moved to East Boston.
At least it wasn’t overrun by third worlders like over here in Ny
I’m from NY and I hate to admit it but the North End is definitely better than Little Italy here. Much larger neighborhood and doesn’t feel as gentrified as it does here.
🤙
Thank you Sal the Voice, I hope you post more
One of the most unique and charming neighborhoods in the entire nation. Grew up in San Francisco/ Los Angeles. Lived in the North End for the last two years. Great experience. Now living in NYC and miss the food! Only Italy itself has better pasta.
Even though it's changed thru the decades, thank God SF still has North Beach, and Boston still has the North End
@@bartonpercival3216 . Los Angeles sadly, has neither. 😥
Rocky Racoon, Los Angeles has Skid Row
@@matildesantos4215 . No kidding.
I go to the north end often, it's one of the best places to go to! I love it❤❤
Really nice video. You should make the North End of Boston a mini series! So many nice places there.
Wow great production value on this video!! Nice work
Glad I can across your channel. Great video! I will make the north side a destination soon
Great place! I used to go to North End,mostly to Cafe Paradiso in 1990 til 1997.Then I moved back to Slovakia.I have a great memmories...❤
I feel like I'm home again... I'm so homesick for those days. There was nothing like growing up there. The Best Memories and Days that will NEVER BE AGAIN......
So good to see that Sal is still doing well
I was looking for Italian hard crust bread yesterday, found some finally and sprinkled extra virgin olive oil and squeezed some good quality tomatos on top, (pan e pomodor) used to eat that in mornings in Italy, delicious
The city and state of Missouri destroyed Kansas City's Little Italy by running a series of highway's through the heart of the Italian neighborhood, really sad, it's just a few blocks now, St Louis still has a great Italian neighborhood, God Bless everyone
This was really awesome
In all of the changes that Boston has made in the last few years, the good people of the North End continue to survive and thrive.
love verano!! met him a handful of times.
at ocean club- &strega was my "last meal" before my cancer surgery...he was there then, also.
i am also calabrese...(andpalermo}
grew up in woburn-worked and played in the city for last 20 years,
i just moved to eastie; where my family {papa} originally came off the boat and lived.
Absolutely lovs this video!
My great Nana came to America from Rome during the depression and she raised my nonnie in one the apartments above Regina’s. I love the north end and I can’t wait for the feast. Wish I could afford to live out there
I'm going to that coffee shop. Never been to the NE to just hang out and eat. Last time I was there it was to deliver concrete, they where refurbishing the Paul Revere house. Not sure how I squeezed the mixer through there in the middle of the day. I did remember to bring snacks, because with NO snacks the smells of the food there can drive a person nuts ! Nice video.
👍 Excellent video. The scenes, music, people. All incredibly well chosen. I enjoyed watching this.
Yes, the North End of Boston is one of the most unique neighborhoods in the United States and may well rank and deserve the title the Best Little Italy in the Country.
I moved to buffalo 2yrs ago from the n.end after 69 years. I love watching the videos of so many wonderful memories.
Such a very nice video. Nothing but positives
Beautifully shot and Sal is an amazing host!
Used to live in this neighborhood while serving in the Coast Guard. Man life was good there, I loved every second of my time in the north end
Love this !!!
Great content and production quality
Great job. We're heading up next Sunday and our friends recommend Modern too. Thanks for this
This guy's a Legend! 🤩
Back when I first saw this video I had no idea he could sing Sinatra better than Sinatra! Holy Hell! Most charismatic man on Earth 🌎
Really felt like we were in Italy, big hugs from TEXAS
Bravo! I spent every summer in the North End. I worked for my Uncle Sonny Naples. The Muffin King. He sold his square pizza by the slice at the Feasts. Anyone remember Dottie's cafe? The Boston I store. Two thumbs up to Mr. Vallentinetti I am a big fan.
Lived on Richmond Street right up the street from where Sonny had his first shop
Then the shop caught fire he moved to Hanover Street. Good people ♥️Boy do I remember the Boston I.Dottys Cafe where was that located?
Boston,,, my hometown,,,, The North End, my favorite hangout. When i was little we used to go to Modern Pastry to buy dozens and dozens cannolli for Easter.,, that was the 1960's,,It was Not Fancy back then,, but they had the Best Cannolli, we'd go home with stacks of pastry boxes... I worked at MGH Hospital so we'd walk over after work and get a espresso,, or cappachino,,, i MISS,,,, Cafe' Pompei,,,,sigh!,, you Cannot imagine!,,, im italian-americn (my people are from Naples),,,, When they have the St. Anthony's Festival,, you drive by even on the highway above and the air is FILLED!!! with the smell of the Sausage, pepper and onion cooking. The generations of people there will keep it going. The Food lol will keep it going. You can eat simple or eat 'fancy' but it is always good and authentic,, Salumeria Italiano is incredible!... esp. the cheeses, the olives, and of course the meats. It's impossible to describe the atmosphere though,,,, the parking,, lol,, forget about it... Park at govt. ctr. garage and walk over,,, i parked my car there one day and we went into Cafe' Pompei for coffee and pastry,,, they almost towed my car WITH The dog in it,,, OMG!,,, i went running out and saved the car and MY GOODNESS, my jack russell! So many great times,,, the coffee is Always good,,,,, North End has a Loooong History,, i think it's the best little Italy,,
What a great video. High production value. Which camera was used? Keep up the great work!
Just discovered your channel today....wonderful videos...lots of fun....thank you!!
North End is awesome. You can also find great italian places in Medford, Saugus, Stoneham, Everett, Revere, winthrop and other cities.
Great episode boston best food ever
I just walked around the North End just passing thru on the train from Boston to Lowell. I live in Oregon. I love italians.
Great vid. You totally captured the charm of the North End, good times!
