This video is so funny hahaha This is what happens when you serve this type of Italian food to an Italian. Watch the video to see the Italian reaction to some of the most popular Italian dishes served in Italian-American Restaurants. Italians are very proud of their food and food is one of the most important things in Italian culture. Italian cuisine is well respected all over the globe and it's been ranked in the top 3 cuisines in the world for many many years. Italian cuisine vary from city to city and from region to region and every dish has a story and tradition. Eating Italian food should be a memorable experience. There are so many different recipes in Italy and Italians who live in Italy haven't tried all of them yet. Next time you order a chicken pasta or alfredo pasta think twice. Don't waste your money for popular food but instead learn more about Italian culture and it's food. For Italians Food is more important then the bible.

In this video I *_Explain_* to you why I made this video: ruclips.net/video/p8o8jWmkoKY/видео.html
so as a indian, (needless to say, we are passionate about food as our italian counterparts)
i saw mac n cheezy, pasta alfredo and spaghetti bolognese and deep down knew it that this is NOT true italian dishes. And these people confirmed the same Thanks...
It’s hard to find a good Italian restaurant that cook the simple traditional authentic Italian dishes. It’s best just to learn how to cook these dishes yourself.
Sorry but that food came from the frozen food section not an Italian American restaurant. You have to have real thing in order to compare. Also, tradition doesn't guarantee a better tasting dish.
americans only know how to make good burgers
Dosent look decent but i think its fake and wrong. U an have good pasta outside italy. Is this somethin in microwave?
"Give it to my dog and he would throw it back at me" 😂😂
hahha
He is right
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
without a joke ... my last dog was a hungarian street dog and he woudnt even eat a chicken nugget when we were in america even trash seems to taste better LUL
@@ianfhtagn1349 The jokes on you if you think this is relevant. ;)
As an American
I can honestly say
You bring an authentic dish from any other place in the world to here
We will absolutely F it up
yeah, I think that's true
That's priceless! England does a good job of that also!
This is true in India 🇮🇳 as well! We just fucked up Italian food.
That's not just an American thing, anything taken from one culture to another, the new culture doesn't appreciate it and it's history, and will always change it
@@thesaucylorax True. And I can't make sure but I'll not b surprised if American Italian foods are more popular than 'real' Italian foods among non-Italians, for example Asians. As an Asian I'd say we appreciate American cheese the most, followed by British, and maybe French, but we don't usually like 'authentic' Swiss/Greek/etc. ones, maybe not authentic Italian ones too. We don't like how 'real' European cheese smell. Too strong.
“ give it to Alfredo “😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
The thing is they eould probably eat it if they were told it was al burro since that's what they call the exact same dish in italy.
@@sleepytubbs9405 nope, it had cream and chicken, trust me, they wouldn't eat it even if he called it "gold and diamonds pasta".
@@sleepytubbs9405 u have no clue
@@sleepytubbs9405 NEVER chicken in pasta!

@VINCENZO ,perche' chiamano o scambiano i peperoni per il salame o salamino?Ps sono un cuoco internazionale ,non cucino solo italiano etc........e ho lavorato in molti paesi e vivo all estero ,mai stato in USA !
"Mangiate bene, mangiate sano, e mangiate Italiano" 😍 Un abbraccio alla signora!
Eusepio1957 Come dire "food" en italiano?( sono imparare italiano) mi dispiace per mi debole italiano so solo parlo un po di italiano
comida = cibo
salu2 😁
Eusepio1957 Grazie
I wonder why Italian food is considered healthy? Think of all that starch and carbohydrate they have in their diet. Stuffing yourself with carbohydrates is great for athletes and other exceptionally active people because they need a lot of energy. The body breaks down carbs into sugar while this is good news for sports people it causes the average person to gain serious amounts of weight in the medium term.
Stephanie G that's actually not true, the body breaks up the carbs into atp, which is needed for cellular activity.
and just one thing you should notice: italians together with japanese have the highest percentage of 100 year-olds. if our diet (as i'm a proud italian) wasn't healthy there wouldn't be so many old people
Italians are pretty picky about pasta and pizza but the stuff you served didn’t even look good
Pasta doesn't need to look good. First of all it needs to taste good. I used to eat pasta that looked so fancy and tasted very bad. So, thank you, I prefer good pasta to fancy one. But also neither of these ones in that video :)
No, they wanted to trash it caused it smelled like trash.
And tasted like trash
Because the poster of the video decided to go to the freezer section for instant food rather than actually go to a quality Italian restaurant in the US, just so he could point and sputter about how bad the "Italian American" food is in the US.
He intentionally misrepresented Italian cuisine in US in a sort of moronic trolling. In short he's an ass-clown.
@MoralSingularity Exactly
My wife and I went to Rome in 2019. The food was fantastic, in fact it ruined Italia food for us back home. There is no comparison. I guess we have to go back to Italy.
That’s true!
Or make your own by following Vincenzo.
Agree. I don't have idea about Italian food until i landed in Rome and eat Margherita pizza,... The most simple pizza (without meat i mean) yet so delicious, the best pizza i ever had. Eat simple pasta, (also without meat) but the best pasta i ever have in my whole life, eat roasted chicken with broccoli puree, simple food yet superb delicious... And all the best tiramisu, the best coffee i ever have was in italy. Not only in rome, in pisa, in milano and Lugano same. So ya I understand your passion in food and i love it. Back from Italy, it's difficult to accept 'fusion Italian food' because it's not as good as the authentic one in Italy
Bravo
@Todd Stamos You missed the point. According to Rao's website, they claim to serve authentic Italian food. If they do, then I don't see how anyone here would complain. Authentic Italian food is not Italian-American food. If the food is made like how native Italians would make it, then there's no American element. Good Italian food from good Italian restaurants most probably serve authentic Italian food. It makes no sense to pay a premium for an inferior imitation.
Why the hell is there the same clip of him laughing every 30 seconds?
Blackrew
lol disgusting teeth
Because he's mocking those egregious transatlantic shits, and they deserve it :-)
to remind you to laugh, ROFL
You know that transatlantic isn't a place where people live, right? It's merely a sea route which EUROPE and the USA use for trading.
Thanks Vincenzo for showing us Italians who while not liking crap food, are real assholes.
With all due respect, this would be a much better video without intercutting clips of the auteur laughing at his own work.
The tasters say it all, and very eloquently.
Never in my life have I wanted to punch someone in the face so badly as when that douchebag kept shoving the same clip of his stupid fake laugh every other 30 seconds in the video.
get in the line lizard hope there is a fuck face left when its your turn
hahaha :-D
Gatto Nero some of the tasters called the food shit or not worthy of dog food that's not what I call eloquent mate
From Merriam-Webster:
Definition of eloquent
1. marked by forceful and fluent expression
2. vividly or movingly expressive or revealing
Rule no. 1 for Italian people:NEVER look for Italian food in a foreign country. NEVER.
That's an important rule, you're so right!!
Well...it is quite likely to find a good trattorias with an Italian chief cooking with the ingredients ordered from Italy. Can be quite expensive but one will barely be able to tell this food from an authentic Italian one. So I would disagree here.
@@valentinberg7 hi, believe me, Italians abroad tend to adapt recipes to local tastes, even when they know their stuff. And I can't blame them for that, they've got to do their business.
But we easily notice differences, that's why I suggest not to look for "grandma flavor".
@King MJ sorry, but about food, we are
I don't agree. Here in Argentina we have very good italian food due to a big immigration from Italy.
"if I give this to my dog, he will throw it right back at me"
😆
This made me laugh a lot 😂 😂
The man is neapolitan, I'm from Naples :D
@@johnfrusciante85 I thought so, I'm from Lazio I couldn't understand him when he said that lol.
The laughing in between was a bit creepy!!!!
Ikr!
that's because Italians are upset to discovere that outside Italy someone is making money promoting SHIT as Italian food. Simple as that.
It was awesome!
Paolijan Jan It’s ITALIAN AMERICAN food, not Italian food.
@@whoasuckaa true, but this video show that Italian American food is basically uneatable version of Italian food...
As an American, I found this absolutely hilarious 😂 my favorite food back in the states was Italian, but no matter how delicious I thought it was, nothing compares to ACTUAL Italian food. I've lived in Italy for 2 years now and know first hand that there is no comparison. LOVE Italy and it's amazing cuisine 😋
Well said.
Here, have a lot of lasagne
We Italians live for food, especially that of the south
but unfortunately we have some dumb ass idiot that use google translate for writing 3 fucking words...
come te? ti rendi conto che ci sono ben 2 erroni grossolani nella tua frase?

Ciao Vincenzo! For many years I cooked Italian food for my girlfriend who later became my wife. Pasta Arrabiata, Putanesca, Pesto, Carbonara, Pasta Norma and many other dishes all the while telling her if she ate this in Italy it would taste just the same. Two years ago we came to Italy together for the first time and she confessed that she had never believed believed me until now! My secret to my cooking was always in my genes! You see my grandfather was a great cook and he came to America from a little town called Moscufo in ABRUZZO!!! SI MANGIA BENE !!! Thanks for having such a great cooking website !!
wow, what a great thing 😍 thanks for sharing this story with us!
Your wife is very lucky, I bet you have won her thanks also to your excellent cooking!
I know Moscufo very well, a small town where si mangia bene, yes 😋
@@fleur5397 Grazie a Te Fleur e Saluti
In effetti quando vedo il nostro cibo fatto così, mi sento assalito!
@@vincenzosplate Vincenzo, why don't you ever reply to the comments that criticise you? Some of them are constructive and for the good of your RUclips channel, you should definitely look more into them.
@@qwertylello if my goal is food and not editing. I wouldn't reply to those kinds of comments either. And if it's about comments where you try to refute the idea of the little respect that there is throughout the world towards foods from countries that have 2000 years of history, from people from countries that barely have 200, I wouldn't answer either. there is no debate.
I died when the guy just smelled the pizza before tastes it. He knew the food was garbage. I remember my Italian-American grandmother would spend ALL day cooking our Sunday dinners. She always used fresh ingredients for everything. Always!!!! How I miss her bread, artichokes, antipasta, and my favorite braciole
My italian ancestors are probably rolling around in their caskets
John Monterosso
😂😁🤣
My Italian grandmother did Sunday dinners when we lived in Brooklyn. As a child I was sad we weren't allowed to eat out especially for " Italian " food. Now I realize its because its not authentic real Italian. Now we live in AK and its extremely hard to find fresh ingredients. I wish I was taught the proper way. My grandmother is 95 so its our job to cook for her now ....but I wouldn't dare.... 😆I was raised American. Good thing her kids were taught properly because she woukd go hungry before eating anything I cook ( American) lol
@@nataliefoss5629
my grandparents lived in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and I miss her homemade sauce.
@@GhostSal
my granny died when I was 12yrs and I miss all of her cooking especially her eggplant parmesan😋
that's usually the reaction when you serve a walmart pizza to anyone..
I agree. For a true test, he should have also tried to get an American to eat that garbage. No one would eat that two dollar frozen pizza.
Many lower class people do eat that stuff because they dont know how to cook and can't afford better meals.
alphaHero100
I eat it when I'm lazy and don't feel like spending 3 hours making pizza. :P (2 hours for proper kneading, proofing, and resting of the dough.)
Even though making it from scratch tastes a million times better... sometimes you just don't wanna take the time to make it and allow yourself to be a little lazy.
Totally agree, personally i get a papa murphy's pizza for times like that :)
_Rooseje Keizer Well since they didn't give them Pizza hut or Dominos in the video, that really doesn't apply
That food looked bad to an American! I wouldn't eat it either!
Those most certainly were tv dinners. I almost positive they were stouffers or Marie Calendars.
First thing I thought as well, it looked like shit from the start!
Denise Hedberg66 he purposely picked he worst of the worst. Wouldn't eat that shit.
Denise Hedberg66 Agreed.
Not everyone!! Some of us are careful with what we eat and raise our own food. We understand how bad it is to eat all that nasty stuff.
I live in England where you can find all the bad, fake Italian foods and many people know no better.
Love your videos, bought my first Guanciale at my local, superb Italian food store, looking forwards folling your video recipe and cooking my first, authentic Spaghetti Carbonara at the weekend.
Thank you so much Vic!
I gotta say, the best Margherita pizza I’ve ever had was in London in this Italian run place. You just gotta find the right places
I think we have Italian American copies in uk and for more money Italian Italian although I've eaten pizza made by a Jamaican who learnt how in Italy and it was very good.
@@qazwerty123451 yup
Italian food in the UK, especially London, improved a lot compared to 10 years ago, where Italian food was very similar to American/Italian. Most of the pasta dishes were more like sauce with pasta than the other wat round
I am Italian and mentally open to experimenting with new flavors. In America I ate very good things, but obviously eating traditional dishes and so it is for the rest of the world. The moral is that it is difficult to cook different foods from one's culture if no one teaches how to do it correctly. But it must be admitted that the Italians are a people who make cooking "art", they are a creative people in this too. For most of us it is a real "ritual".
Thank you for your comment!
Food like Olive garden, Domino Pizza amd Pizza hut is certainly not Italian American. Food like Taco Bell is certainly not Mexican Italian. Food like Panda Express is certainly not American Chinese. All made by Angel Saxon Leftists Whites from America.
Italian food is amazing, but being from Texas my personal opinion is Mexican food being the best... Italian is definitely close second... Like a 1a 1b type of close
@@masterjay4992 you will be surprised that all of them started from the same athenic group as the orignal food say it's from..most are still run by them
@@masterjay4992 Mexican Italian? Lol pick one dude it is not both. Also, you are talking about fast food. There are some legitimate michelin star restaurants that cook good Italian influenced food.
La cucina italiana e’ arte e amore!♥️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Anche io sono d'accordo, ma la grammatica il signore al minuto 3:03 l'ha lasciata a casa! hahahahaha
Hai ragione
astronomy liu il cibo italiano è il migliore al mondo... quindi a chi non piace peggio per lui.
In realtà ci sono numerosissime ricette di carne, pesce, vegetali e legumi. Ma penso tu sia straniero altrimenti lo avresti saputo..
Hans castorp tasi aldamar. Fazza da cul. Usi il traduttore solo perché non conosci l’italiano è ti vuoi confondere con noi ma io uso dei termini in dialetto che tu non sai a mammate.
While I understand your point, the food you served to them looked absolutely awful, as if it had just been heated in a microwave, so I'm not surprised that it tasted dreadful.
ikr? they all looked like crap made by an 11yo; even worse than what you get out of a can or the frozen section. give them the stuff you can get from a nice restaurant and then open your smug italian mouth to gloat.
bvbxiong I went to an "Italian restaurant" in NY and the pasta wasn't just the same. You really need to try autentical pasta to understand. Just because is made in a restaurant it doesn't mean it's good.
The fact that the products are from Italy doesn't mean anything, it's also how they are cooked. If you eat italian pasta with ketchup it will still taste like shit, sorry.
LOL and maybe you should stop eating your crap american food cause it's obviously poisoning your small brain.
The quality of the food, especially pasta, is not only based on the origin of the pasta itself (there are two main types of pasta: pasta fresca is made with eggs, pasta essicata is made without eggs and is the most used in Italy), but also on the WAY you cook it, serve it, and plate it. You just CAN'T cook pasta in cold water (you first have to bring the water to a boil at 100 degrees C) and without salt (use "sale grosso")! We also do NOT cook pasta in pans (unless you've already boiled it in water until it's "al dente" and then you finish off the cooking in a pan with other ingredients, like oil + pepper flakes + garlic), or use excessive amounts of meat or fish or cream cheese as toppings/sauces. For instance, take "pasta alla carbonara": first of all there is a specific type of pasta you must use - and that is spaghetti, preferibly thick ones -, and second of all we do use "guanciale" (which I am not sure is the same thing as bacon, I need to proofcheck that) but with moderation! The ratio of pasta to meat should be roughly 3:1... not like in your "spaghetti chicken carbonara"! As an Italian, I don't even think there even is a recipe that uses chicken as a topping/sauce, not even with "ragù" (the product of cooking ground meat with "odori" like carrots, red onions and celery).
Post Scrittum: I literally have no idea where you read that "the United States is increasingly becoming a leader in the fine cheese making"... I truly believe we have a wayyyy DIFFERENT perception of what "fine cheese" is, and it certainly is NOT that repelling-looking orange block of gummy unkown substance you pass of as "cheese". I'm sorry, there just is no competition between THAT e una bella forma di parmigiano reggiano!
(You've just been ranted from a 17 year old Florentine girl, ciaoo)
I can relate to this video. My paternal grandparents were from Northern Italy and schooled my non-Italian mother on all the original old-world recipes. She transcribed everything from verbal instructions onto index cards (which we inherited and guard like gold). If Dad were alive today, he'd be ROTF watching this.
Food like Olive garden, Domino Pizza amd Pizza hut is certainly not Italian American. Food like Taco Bell is certainly not Mexican Italian. Food like Panda Express is certainly not American Chinese. All made by Angel Saxon Leftists Whites from America.
@@masterjay4992 What has politics or kin colour have to do with this? nothing. You just spam the same irrelevant crap here.
@@masterjay4992 calm down with your political bullshit, it's just capitalism doing what it does, imitating things to sell to a foreign audience and not trying to be authentic.
They were overexaggerating as fuck and they didn't even eat it. These old geezers acting like babies who don't want to eat their vegetables.
@@greenknitter 🙄
I'm looking to be adopted by an Italian family after watching this video...
sono metà americano e metà italiano (calabrese). Nonostante il mio gusto alimentare sia molto influenzato dalla mia metà americana, prevale su di me quella italiana, e credo che gli americani non dovrebbero chiamare “italiano” un piatto se non è nemmeno nato in Italia.
(se ci sono errori scusatemi, non parlo italiano bene da un sacco di tempo)
Il punto è che la maggior parte di questi piatti è stato creato da ITALO- americani; non irlandesi, non inglesi, olandesi o tedeschi... ma americani di ORIGINE ITALIANA!!! Dopotutto oramai gli italo-americani son li da parecchie generazioni, e ben pochi hanno conservato il tipo di cucina originale del loro paese (come anche altri americani di altre origini); il problema è quando gli americani NON di origine italiana pensano che quei piatti siano l'AUTENTICO cibo ITALIANO!!! Sono questi gli effetti disastrosi dell'americanismo che ci coinvolge tutti.
Ben detto Marzio!
marzio bergagna, quei piatti potrebbero essere invece un'adattamento alle esigenze americane. Non credo che siano veramente così male, forse hanno un sapore più accentuato.
In ogni caso è solo un vantaggio per l'italia che si diffonda la sua cucina in quanto perlomeno è conosciuta anche per qualcosa di buono 😁
Fidati, mia madre li ha assaggia quando è stata in America, e credimi... mi ha confermato che fanno DAVVERO schifo, spiacente, ma gli italo-AMERICANI sono negati in cucina! E quella NON E' cucina italiana.
direi il contrario,quando un americano viene in Italia si aspetta quei piatti ed invece trova la vera cucina italiana che è ben altro,ho visto cose....piatti americanizzati che sono un vero e propio insulto per la tradizione culinaria italiana
I'm Brazilian and lived in USA for 3 years. I also lived in Europe. I must agree with this video, because the worst pizzas I ever had was in USA.
No Brasil tem muita pizza bizarra tb.
Brazilian pizza is awful and they serve it with ketchup mustard and mayo. Pizza Portuguese is ok at best
Actually there is opinion I`ve heard that the best pizza is in New York.
@@Lukvader9
For years I'd heard about pizza from Naples being the best. I finally got there and was pretty disappointed. I wouldn't say it was bad. Just not especially good. I'd take New York pizza over that stutf every time.
From experience, I think the general quality of pizza in Italy is very good while in America it’s on a sliding scale from inedible to heavenly.
I know this is sacrilege but pizza was made world famous not by the Italians but by Italian Americans from the US. Saying one is better than the other is a misnomer as they are really two different things.
Ramen is technically not Japanese, it’s from China but it was the Japanese that adapted and made it world famous.
I live in Canada and I know many Italians. I have NEVER known an Italian in my city to shop for food in any place but an Italian-owned and operated market. I’m sure there must be Italians out there that do their grocery shopping in chain supermarkets-I’m just not aware of any. This preference for Italian establishments among Italians generally also applies to restaurants. When they must, they will venture to the odd burger place, diner, sushi, Thai, Greek restaurant, or steakhouse, but overwhelmingly, when left to their own devises, they will frequent Italian places to the near exclusion of anything else. This singleminded dedication to their own products and cuisine is sometimes carried to extremes: for instance, many of my Italian friends are convinced that their regional cheeses and wines, their foie gras and truffles, are vastly superior to those of France; they insist that their engineering, machinery, and automobiles are better than those of the Germans; their olive oils better than those of Greece; their modern furniture is sleeker than Danish designs; that Italian bespoke tailoring is finer than that of Savile Row, their fashion and perfumery second to none, etc., etc., etc. For all their cosmopolitanism, I find that the outlook of a great many Italians - even the more sophisticated types - is in this regard, remarkably provincial.
Italians just do it better
Allan Curtis - Bada-bing bada-boom! 🇮🇹👍
I am a Finn living in Sweden and I can tell you I am a lot more "patriotic" than my family living in Finland :-D A lot of emigrants and expatriates become more nationalistic. Back in the "old country", they had the culture all around them, so it was fine to be more open-minded and experimental. The safety of familiarity was right there to fall back on when things got bad.
Also, there is the xenophobia. I can imagine Italians are one of the people who are subjected to racism and prejudices. Also, if you keep telling your Italian friends that French cheeses and wines are better, that German cars and machinery are better, that Greek olive oil, Danish design, British tailoring, and so on and so forth, that everything not Italian is better, they will tell you you're wrong. I know Finland has her faults, but I'm sure not to talk about them to people who hack on her.
Ketutar Jensen - I think you’re absolutely right on all counts.
As a Mexican American who loves these dishes, my man did your children cook this? Was this frozen food left out for 3 days. Should’ve had me cook it.
I am american Italian and my momma made good Italian food. this stuff looks like the frozen food you buy at the market. 🙊
Gorry152 momma ?
Looks more like canned food
Gorry, that's only because it is. That mac and cheese looked horrendous, and the pizza made Dominos look good.
WTF is "american italian"? Do you have dual citizenship, or at the very least speak the language, know the culture and history, or just trying to get on a bandwagon of the country with some actual identity?
Lukasz........most Americans, unless they are American Indian, were either born somewhere else, or had parents, grandparents, etc....who were born somewhere else. It is a customary way of identifying ourselves, and also taking pride in our ancestry, our heritage. So, stop being an ass. BTW.......some "bandwagon". You mean the "bandwagon" of the countries of Europe, most of whom are failing miserably, and teetering on the brink of bankruptcy ? You mean the "Europe bandwagon" that's being over run by muslims? The "Europe" that looks to the USA for protection against the Russians? THAT Europe?
Yeah I think a lot people react to store brought dinners like that. Some of the people that eat this stuff struggle in the kitchen and out of it, mocking them and poorly representing others who do make an effort to emulate Italian food wont really do much other than make them perceive you as arrogant. Not really the best approach to educate really just cheap laughs from the "Italian food Ambassador"
Yeah you said it better than I did! He just set this up.. I was only recently turned to this guys channel (thanks to uncle roger) but after seeing this... He isnt even trying to run a true test so hes lost a subscriber in me.
My ancestors were poor and left Italy during hard times. With this mass exodus, we created new Italian cuisine with local ingredients and hardships in the United States, Argentina and other places. It is not fake, it is the result of fusion cuisine for generations.
Also, my entire family makes better food than is in this video.
Your comment is by far the most sensible I've read. People need to realize that food grown and prepared in various regions is going to taste differently based on soil, climate, water, etc and the availability of local ingredients. People's palates evolve over time based on their locale.
I completely agree! My mom was a first generation american who grew up in the depression. They took italian dishes from their parents who immigrated and improvised with the ingredients they could afford.
Elisa - thats a very fair and objective comment about the fusion and it can work ...chicken tikka massala or General Taos chicken (which we never have in UK but I loved in US) anyone?? i do prefer the thin very light scrappy toppings from Italian pizzerias as opposed to the cheese overloaded ones from chains .. but i do also have them once in while .. its a but unfair as I can get excellent Italian food in the US as you can in UK .. just need to know where to go..
Elisa Pallatin, Italians food from the US has developed to your tastes. Brasilians prefer Sao paolo pizza to roman pizza
@@leonardodavid2842 And I would defend your cuisine, too!
I'm Italian, and I only have one thing to say to you: THANK YOU !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Thank you for making Americans understand that the junk food they want to pass as Italian has nothing to do with Italy!
Thank you for giving the respect our cuisine deserves!
OMG Thank you so much 😍😍😍
@@vincenzosplate Thanks to you for your videos!
Every time I see an ""Italian restaurant"" that makes a carbonara with bacon or an Alfredo pasta I almost have a heart attack! I am happy to have found an English language channel that really does Italian cuisine :D
Bravo
Pretty much same shit in the UK.
@@AgentJot23 You have to know the right places to go
chi l'avrebbe mai detto che gli Americani se la sarebbero presa così tanto ..
Gli americani non sono più o meno sensibile rispetto agli italiani. Siamo solo ammalati di bombardamenti americani.
Non è il contenuto del video ma l'umore che da fastidio a me e gli altri Americani. Dici che dobbiamo chiedere scusa a voi per le ricette che si sono trasformati? Poi dici che la nostra cucina Italian-American è quasi razzista? Avevo già litigato con Vincenzo e della sua ignoranza sul cibo Americano ma questo video e i suoi commenti erano troppo ridicoli e non potevo non rispondere. I've made Cajun Alfredo pasta for many Italians who have enjoyed it thoroughly. As a foodie I don't understand why you can't wrap your head around the importance of quality ingredients and experience. Cultural knowledge can help, but it's not entirely necessary. Should we all just apologize for cooking each other's food and go back to eating only what is geographically native to each country? Again (maybe now you'll remember me) that would mean no tomatoes, chocolate or pumpkin for you!
+Bill Costello come se a noi non dessero fastidio tutte le cose che dite sugli italiani perché gesticolano o cose del genere. è ironia. passaci sopra
Quindi un video in cui vi prendessimo in giro e dicessimo che dovreste chiedervi scusa per la pronuncia di OK perché è la nostra parola e voi l'avete bastardizzata, tutto questo non sarebbe di cattivo gusto secondo te? L'idea che non c'è niente di buona in America è qualcosa che sento molto spesso in Italia. Nasce dalle voci invece dai fatti. È sempre una questione degli ingredienti e la capacità del cuoco, e non dipende dalla conoscenza della cultura e da dove arriva il piatto originale, come dice lui.
Bill Costello Cooks in the USA put sugar in meat, should we call them good cooks? I don't think so. Sugar masks the real taste of the meat. But there are many other good things that comes from the USA: science and technology, for example. And also entertainment. Except from the ones from the UK, I generally dislike contemporary european movies and TV series.
I'm pretty sure no one, in ant country, thinks frozen TV dinners are authentic Italian food. That's pretty insulting.
That was my thought too. All of the American comparison dishes look like something pulled them out of the Healthy Choice freezer section. If so, it's no wonder they all recoiled with disgust.
@@mistyme7 that's what we think about American food
i'm not italian and i like italian food the most. basic, seafood, bakery, dessert.
Italian food is definitely the best 😍
Love your vids Vincenzo!! please keep authentic Italian dishes coming...Love to cook them!!
My dog in Australia eats better than Americans.
Paolo Perrone lol
Elvis Presley why is your dog in australia
ADV: America's Dankest Videos It's where i fled after faking my death.
Elvis Presley hahahahahahaha...
Elvis Presley hahahahaha
Ok, these Americanized Italian dishes looked terrible to me, and I'm an American. why not try the experiment again with good examples next time? that pizza looked like it was straight out of the freezer section of my grocer.
J N Morgan I never said that the Americanized versions would be better than the true Italian ones to the Italian people, only that the test was setup for failure. I wouldn't have eaten the dishes the Italians were served in this video.
I grew up eating all that shit...and so did you (if you're an american)...i don't eat it now, but that's all americans eat...just admit it...geezus...Part of the Problem, much???
Chris Nelson because those "Italians" just want to be prick.
Just saying, the people tasting those foods are a bunch of ignorants who can't even speak Italian. Enough said.
I mean if you are admitting you ate those things growing up that means you are between 12 and 18? ALso your family was poor as fuck then because all those things look like they cam from discount groceries.
I'm of the same generation and from the Midwest...but we were lucky enough to be rural, where we could grow our own food...never had to suffer through that boxed, processed, frozen crap. Never had money, but we sure ate well.
Mille Gratzie, Vincenzo!!! This is the video I have been waiting all my life to see!!!
She is the absolute sweetest grandma
I have Italian American friends and their food doesn't look as bad as the food you are showing but the video was very funny, I laughed a lot. Thank you!
Nah. Italian American food is usually pretty good.
@@wezzuh2482 It's American, not Italian, though.
They used very poor examples of the food, one thing I noticed, the Pizza served is not Good representation and like a real authentic NY Style pizza pie. My grandma was Italian and from NY and used to take us to this place her friend owned for Pizza in the 70's, it was the best Pizza I have ever had in my life and the attention to detail was something I could taste in the pizza, the right spices, herbs, gallic buttery taste the dough, the fresh home made sauce made from fresh tomato and some sort of rigorous stewing process, it's a deferent kind of taste that you can't get at your local Domino's!
Yeah, I agree, the examples were bad. It is true that Pizza was popularized more in the states, than it was within Italy, Carbonara is a post-war invention but I don't so how that is relevant. A lot of this comes down to foreigners perception of Italian cuisine as opposed to what italian cuisine actually is. It is way more than Carbonara and Pizza.@@windowsalternative2203
no shit they hate it. its frozen pizzas and some .99 cent microwave mac n cheese. lol
ilnastic Like Mac and Cheese is something I'd give to my dog lol
lepetitgarçonsinsocks Ah comon it's literally Italian macaroni mutilated in prossesed cheese. What's African about it?
hey.... save that hatered for the video content :p
lepetitgarçonsinsocks the original Italian " Mac and cheese" used mostly shells, union, garlic, basil and parmesan. The parmesan would be on top with the shells under and then be put in the oven. I don't recognise that dish in this mutilation.
lepetitgarçonsinsocks I'm showing they are not related to each other. As doing a part time dentist study, I also am I food enthusiast. So i would love to stay in the kitchen a little longer to eat proper food.
"È meglio se se lo mangia Alfredo" 😂😂😂
la mia parte preferita senza dubbi 🤣
Exactly how I felt after coming back from Italy. 😂 Italy has the best food in the world IMO.
@@vincenzosplate For sure! We ate at one tourist trap in Sorrento. It was still better than Italian in the US. 🤣
@ルカ Have you ever been in Italy?
I strongly disagree. The food was boring & bland. I couldn't believe how dry the food was in Italy.
@@luvinmysailor You must of hit the fast food joints of Italy. 😉🤣 What was dry, I'm curious?
That's because Americans poison the food with GMO'S. Tomatoes and cucumbers don't have the same aroma and taste they did 20 years ago.
Vedendo gli americani che commentano tutti incazzati (come quello che ha scritto di ritenersi offeso come americano) non posso far a meno di pensare che lo schifo che ingoiano tutti i giorni e che hanno anche il coraggio di chiamare "prelibatezza" li renda idioti come sono gli americani possono arrivare ad essere (non sono razzista eh ma parliamo chiaro, quelli messi male sono DAVVERO MESSI MALE), mi chiedo con quale faccia tosta si mettano a controbattere, ragazzi vivete nella terra emblema e natia del cibo spazzatura e vi permettete anche di fare i permalosi se si parla di cucina??!! A mio parere dovrebbero restare muti anche su un altra infinità di argomenti che non siano la guerra o l'obesità infantile ma questa é un opinione personale. Concludo dicendo che se é vero il detto "siamo ciò che mangiamo" non c'é da meravigliarsi di come ragiona sta gente dato che mangia 24/7 merda con l'aggiunta di conservanti, zucchero a chili e dopo fritta nel lardo.
Giulio988 Bravoo!!!
That pizza looked like a frozen pizza and I've never thought of Mac and cheese as Italian.
Vincenzos Plate actually Mac and cheese is a dish from England (look this up) and no, no American ever considers the dish to be Italian....like we never do or have. Most of us think of it as southern soul food. The only thing about it that’s Italian is the word Macaroni....btw, why would you intentionally serve frozen food and expect a good reaction? Do you honestly believe Americans eat out of the freezer section of the restaurant? Do you understand how expensive those meals can be? We normally make things from scratch....I’m sorry, but your video is just rude. Educate yourself
Yes they do. Also, Americans go to American Italian restaurants and get Alfredo spaghetti with all that cream, etc.
"Mac n cheese" means macaroni with cheese, which I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) has been a dish in Italy since approximately the 1300s.
sgtgiggles from England??? Are you serious??? No, you just ignore that "mac" is "maccheroni" = "pasta", and it's Italian! Don't tell other people to "look this up" when you just ignore the basis...
M.C. P. , That’s like saying bread is Levantine origin so every bread dish is a knock off, or chicken/cattle/lamb dishes are Eurasian only because that’s the first place it was domesticated. Or even crazier wine is exclusively a drink from the caucuses because that’s where it originally was fermented, ignoring the fact that it became the most popular alcoholic drink throughout the entire Mediterranean. Chili peppers came from South America yet it’s a staple ingredient in India, half way across the world. Your argument holds no traction. Tea is from China yet the English, all of Eastern Asia, and India can’t live without it. Learn anthropology and evolution of foods via trade. Ohhh and we can’t forget about potatoes, which a blight wiped out a massive chunk of Ireland’s population. That’s a new world tuber Incase you were wondering. Tomatoes came from the new world too, so why should anyone who isn’t Nahuatl say that tomatoes mashed up in a sauce is Italian. again, look it up. By not researching your own stupid argument, it is YOU who is ignorant, not me. Google is your friend. Why don’t you give it a shot?
Vincenzo I have very recently discovered your channel, and it's very beautiful seeing someone as passionate as me when it comes to their culture's food. I am a Greek woman who has grown up in Melbourne, with a passion for my culture and it's food as well. Australia (and even these 'Greek celebrity chefs" ) have destroyed our food also. Same story in America from what I experienced also. It's very frustrating, as not only are people being lied to, but ancient cultures are slowly being modified to the point of erasing the truth.
I admire you for your passion and courage. Never stop doing what you are doing.
Thank you so much for your comment bella, I really appreciate your words! You’re right in everything you said, thanks again
I love authentic Greek food... Let's hope "they" don't ruin that too.
2:21 I literally can’t breathe right now 😂😂😂😂, someone come take me to the hospital 💀
😂😂
Are your lungs collapsing for coronavirus
I'm American/Sicilian, that food looked fucken nasty. let me look them something that wasn't frozen , from a jar, or a box
American/Sicilian? How so?
My father's grandparents came to NY from Sicily, both his parents are Sicilian, he was born and raised in NY in Brooklyn. My mother, well she's a mix of European. They made me and my brother, so although I didn't immigrate from Scilly my family and extended family still up hold most traditions and lifestyle from Scilly.
My mother was taught how to cook by my father, grandmother, and all three of my great aunts.
If I even joked about using jar sauce or eating frozen pizza I would get the spoon!! And when the wooden one broke I got the metal one lol
do you speak italian?
cplcabs How can it be... It's like an hundred years that people in Sicily come and go to NY.
You did a great job at educating us. I never knew the Totinos pizza rolls and Marie Calendar meals were not authentic Italian. Thank you for shedding light on this. Please make a video showing how Japanese people react to top ramen. I will be extremely sadden if i find out another culinary delicacy is not considered authentic.
hahahahahahahaha. Spot on. I too want to see this guy disrespectfully represent all Japanese-American fusion chefs with a dried packaged food.
K reezy good point, well written
I swear if I find out that Taco Bell and Chipotle are not authentically Mexican, I will riot.
K reezy - hahaha hilarious comment! I think this guy must have given them the worst shit on the planet.
this is the realest shit right here.
I am from asia. And so far I only ate american style pizza. Once I tried the real pizza margherita... dear god, I think I can never eat american pizza anymore! 😂
once you taste the real Italian pizza you never go back, you're right 😁❤️
After visiting Italy several times I realised just how terrible the food passed of as authentic Italian cuisine here in Scotland is.
Some countries just make great food Italy makes the best pasta and pizza Scotland and the Danish make the best pastry real Scottish cuisine is amazing as is real and I mean real authentic Italian cuisine the Italian American fusion dishes are awful it’s as simple as that.
Vincento is right.
That’s true! Thank you!
That's a long sentence right there 🤣
Sorry but french make the best pastry, i never Heard about danish or scottish 's pastry 😉 italian the best food
Macron la salope officiel
We will have to agree to disagree on this one the Danish and Scots are definitely the the best pastry cooks as for open sandwiches I am afraid the Danes are the best in that area also Scottish Tweed Salmon is the best in the world closely followed by Canadian Salmon and the best tomatoes are Dutch or Scots.
But everyone has different tastes so I guess these debates could go on and on.
@@BradleyUK58 its not a matter of taste, just of fact, french pastry is known all over the world , tomatoes 🍅 from italy , France, Spain as well ,
you gave them the worst possible representations of the food. it all looked canned, and they all looked microwaved
Jimmy LeFirst That is not what everyone in the West eats, you are just generalizing people.
The Collector Your food sucks within offence. When I go in America I tried to eat with my family your food.The reaction was È UNA MERDA (IS A SHIT).
Jimmy LeFirst lol no American would touch that stuff unless they were in a rush to leave the house (because he essentially showed processed microwave food)
Jimmy LeFirst You know that the cultural definition of the west has its roots in Greco-Roman civilization in Europe? How can Italy not be part of 'the west'?
Italy is part of "the west" you melon.
to be fair, you got the worst versions of those dishes that you could. the mac and cheese looked funny and that pizza was trash. I mean...cheap delivery is way better than that mess.
First time I went to the US some years ago, my host had that KRAFT mac and cheese you guys love to death, holy shit, it's terrible, one of the most artificial tasteless foods I've ever eaten. But it seems it's quite popular.
CDB Kraft is popular because it's cheap. No one thinks it's actually good.
Because it's cheap, some people get hooked on it when they grow up with it.
Blame the MSGs.
I used to eat Kraft Mac&cheese and my cousin's son would eat nothing else but that between the ages of 1 and 4... I can't stomach it any more though.
Also, don't compare kraft mac and cheese with cooked from scratch mac and cheese casserole dishes.
Huey Freeman common, you can polish a turd as much as you want, it wil still remain a turd
Mac and cheese seems to be a stupid, simply version of cacio e pepe.
The first man. "No" 😂 and "wtf is this dish" 😂😂
😂😂
This really reminds me of my dad. Thanks. 😂
This is completely true. I learnt to cook proper Italian food by family/close friends. When you go abroad they often ruin "improvise" the dishes. That's why real Italian cooks come to prepare food in the restaurants. Italian food is simple, healthy and delicious. It all starts with high quality ingredients, not processed stuff.
it looks like you just got food from the freezer section and heated it up, no wonder no one wants to eat that.
So have you ever been to an Italian-American's home and tried what they cook?
Gillis like Every american does you mean?
Yes indeed. They look like something from the freezer in the supermarket, that has been thrown into the microwave oven...Yuk..!
We know it's "fake Italian", but that doesn't mean it's a good representation when you serve them precooked frozen food.
Spaghetti and Meatballs is only "fake" because authentic Italians don't serve meatballs on top of their spaghetti. But I'm sure that someone in America could still cook and serve up a pretty damn good bowl of spaghetti and meatballs that would meet the flavor approval of those Italians.
Gillis American ppl eat with pleasure food from freezer.
Loved the video and Italian's reactions. Maybe you could make a video of the foods from your region in Italy? One day, I would like to visit Italy...
In Italy we don't have regional food only, we have a dish for any city or village different from others.
This was great. Do more of these!
More to come 😁
Holding up Dominoes and The Olive Garden as American Italian is kind of like Americans holding up Mussolini as a fair representation of what your average Italian citizen is like...
Bravo!!
Uncle.....the biggest problem with American restaurants is not the quality of the food, its the portions. The portions are too big.
So, show a little maturity and self restraint. No one forces you to eat it all at once. Take the rest home. There’s not a restaurant in the US that won’t give you a “to go” box.
Allan, you miss the point dummy. Why is a chicken Caesar salad that is supposed to be for one person, literally big enough to feed 2 or even 3 people? How about making it 1/3 to 1/2 the size, and lowering the cost? I don't want a "to go" box ( as classy as you may find that) , so I can eat wilted salad the next day.
Just order one and share it then. Or just ask them for a half salad. Most places will be happy to do that for you. They serve large portions because customer satisfaction is the most important aspect of business. They never, ever want a customer to walk away thinking they paid too much for too little. You give the customer more than their money's worth because you want them to come back.
Most Americans laugh when they see some high-priced restaurant put some thumb-sized piece of chicken, next to a baby carrot, drizzled with some yellow sauce, with a sprig of parsley on a plate for $50. It may look good, but the average Joe ain't paying for edible art when he sits down to eat.
Più falso dei capelli di Conte

Love this video, I watched after the episode 2 the apology, and I don’t get why people were so upset I thought it was rather funny, as an American all these videos have been so educational ❤️
Oh, many thanks Sean ❤️🙏🏻 I really appreciate!
People were upset because these old geezers are acting like babies who don't want to eat their vegetables. They didn't even try the food and were already fake throwing up.
@@Lee-ic8ln its because your american food tastes like shit
You should change the title to "Serving humans terrible food" you could have put a chinese person, black person or whatever race you wanted in front of that food and they'd all think its garbage.
You made a video where you served people kraft dinner and delissio pizza's......
+Juiced Last nor is a Chinese person if we are going to be pedantic, it's a nationality
No it should be called serving humans garbage
Johnathon Gray i
A lot of people would still eat it though. These peoples' reactions were very indicative that they couldn't even stand to be near it, playing to the Italian factor, are you gonna hate on them as well for acknowledging that a big reason they don't like the food is their background (a big part of which is being Italian)?
+Frisky Dong Gotta love the Ignorant foreigner.
Having done a bit of research on this - these dishes are not "fake" Italian food, but rather the cuisine created by the Italian immigrant community in America (mostly quite poor and mostly in New York City) in the early 1900s. It's an immigrant cuisine which combines some of the techniques and themes from Southern Italy with ingredients and cooking methods which were readily available in NYC in the early 20th Century. What wasn't available was the sort of hyper-fresh ingredients that make Italian food in Italy what it is (fresh-seafood, lots of fresh vegetables). What WAS available at the time was cheap, fresh beef in in large amounts and at prices much lower than in Italy (Remember, the American cattle industry was BOOMING at the time - with Western cattle being shipped East and beef EVERYWHERE - this is also the same time New York Steakhouse culture developed.) Also, while fresh vegetables were largely not available, CANNED vegetables were cheap and widely available - especially canned tomatoes, which became the staple sauce-base for Italian-American food. The industrial nature of the cuisine and the cheaply available beef are what differentiate Italian-American food from Continental Italian food - large meatballs that would have been wasteful in a 19th Century Italian context, tons of canned tomato sauce, and in the case of Pizza - the most traditional and oldest New York pizzerias use COAL-FIRED ovens rather than wood-fired ovens that you would see in Naples, because New York pizza evolved as a cheap way to feed Italian laborer going to work in the factories.
So, please don't make fun of Italian-American food just because it's not the same as Italian food in Italy - it's a cuisine with a rich history, born out of people from Italy who were faced with very challenging circumstances as they immigrated to New York. There are a lot of blood, sweat and tears mixed into those dishes, and they deserve respect.
They should have showed us what real italian food looks like.
Vincenzos Plate sound like a copout. Just show us what that grandma makes. I’m sure it looks delicious. I’m American so I grew up on Mac and cheese and spahgetti and meatballs. Show us what we’re missing
You can, it just takes more effort. lol
Trust me its realy goof
@Hello World fuck no!
@Hello World what?
I love this video. I am American and abhor most attempts at Italian food here. Thank you for the video
I've been to Italy on Holiday a few times and I love the food it has to be one of the worlds best cuisines , The restaurants in the US, Britain and other places just serve up a mockery of Italian food to us with cream and other rubbish in it, Go to Italy and experience proper Italian food.
It looks like he's giving them horrible versions of the "fake" food. I call bullshit on this video.
Your Brain regà state calmi oh😂 poracci ho capito che non sanno replicare il cibo italiano e continuano a difendersi ma non incazzatevi così XD
+ John Bencoma : You do understand that this was cooked in Sydney , Australia , don't you ? This vincenzo clown is just a hate monger .
You'd be surprised how much depth there is to taste and food. You might not know how it is but you might wanna come to Europe and eat some traditional dishes. The Americans ain't got shit on us.
Nope that food sucks in italy I been in america and im from italy, so...
It's clear that your pallet has been manipulated by McDonalds. God have mercy on you foodie soul.
Hahaha!!! Bravo! What a great video!! Hysterical ! Just one question where did the “Italian food” that they tasted come from? Was it frozen stuff or someone cooked it?
By the way, thanks for the video. Let's not let our tradition fade. I will do my part here in America.
I call bullshit on this video. Italian Americans have been making great food in America for centuries. What did you do pick the worst food? There are thousands of great Italian Americans restaurants and Delis all over the country. Pick the best food from America, don't tell the recipients it's from America, then do the test with a side by side comparison with food from Italy. You may be embarrassed.
As a Canadian I can certainly vouch for this. I've eaten all over the US from NYC to San Francisco to Chicago. You're absolutely delusional if you think that this video is even remotely indicative of American Italian cuisine. You should be ashamed of yourself for this bs on here. What a joke.
I have several Italian friends from Italy living in America and non of them will ever eat American Italian food.
What's your point though? I know lots of Italians who won't eat anything OTHER than Italian. They won't try Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern or anything else for that matter. What does that tell you about them?
I'm sorry but like any other cuisine in the world, if you use quality ingredients and serve up fresh dishes, Italian-American food is as good as anything out there. If you serve people frozen pizzas and spaghetti and meatballs out of can, they're going to have a bad day.
One place in particular is the the Mulberry in Buffalo, New York in the Bethlehem Park area. Everything is scratch made including their exceptional mozzarella. I challenge any Italian from the motherland to try their food. I'd bet my house that they'd love it.
Also, keep in mind that I have no skin in this game as I'm from Toronto, Canada, but I've visited the US and a lot of Europe on countless occasions so I feel like I have some idea as to what I'm talking about. Plus I'm half Italian so I've witnessed this attitude from a lot of the older generations in my family. Living in a city like Toronto -
where I can get anything from Ethiopian to Sri Lankan - has allowed me to be introduced to some foods that I would easily take over a good bowl of pasta. Don't get me wrong; classic Italian dishes from my father's region are exceptional and some of my very favourites. But a good bowl of pho or ramen is absolutely divine and tough to beat in my eyes.
Name one.
Nice deflection. Give me a name.
I am Italian. I know how food from Nonna tastes like, and I know olive garden and co.. are not representatives of Italian cuisine. Nevertheless americanized Italian dishes can also taste good when cooked with good and fresh ingredients. Nobody of my Italian family would be so ignorant towards food they don't know.
That's good. I used to enjoy mocking variations of Italian food until I realised that my Italian grandma's recipe for pasta sauce probably isn't "authentic" even though she grew up and learned from her mother in Southern Italy. I love her pasta sauce and I think it's good to have an open mind or else you might miss out on good food. I'm sure families have their own unique recipes even in Italy.
What's supposed to taste good about it? Except my Italian heart breaks when I see this garbage. Are you crazy? It hurts to hear something like that from an Italian, if you are one at all.
@@JFP1988 If you want to trample on our traditions, feel free to do so. But don't be surprised if you are excluded in Bella Italia. Because that's exactly what you deserve.
My Mom's people were Swedish and German. She was excellent cook. I loved her spaghetti and meatballs but as a kid, you thankfully ate what was on your plate. Fresh garlic was an exotic ingredient, our grocery stores never stocked fresh mushrooms. Our pasta choices were spaghetti and macaroni, the latter of which I still can't look in the eye. Apart from meals and helping with the washing up, I was barely tolerated in her kitchen. If an Italian cook dared to venture in with alternative ideas, there would have been blood shed.
oddio fantastico video!😂😂 il vecchietto e simpaticissimo!😀 solo con l'odore sapeva se non era buono!😂😂😂 però dai la carbona non si tocca!😠😂
oh, I didn't know every single Italian was a Gordan Ramsey.
Lol but they all act like they are 5-star chefs, which is highly annoying lol and now you're claiming that every single italian can cook well, I call bs. No offence
Lol I have met Italians who think they know how to cook but when I tasted their food, it wasn't as good as you might think. not every Italian can cook well , heck I knew some who couldn't even cook at all.
in reality it is eating and not cooking, and the culture of food in Italy is very strong.
supobj still, that doesnt make them food critics.
I try to explain myself better, certainly not all are chefs but certainly in Italy we have a great taste and 'a "culture" of food, something that the United States will never have because of politicians in favor of the omg ... everyone boasts of the best things that your country can give, then Italy is proud of its cuisine and its art while the USA has the ability to stabilize nations and make wars all over the world ... everyone prides himself on that that has ... to everyone his pride ... I prefer mine because if the ° ° Italians are critical of the kitchen there will be a reason why there will be a reason if the USA wars and has been murdering for 230 years .. You eat shit and you are also convinced that it is good while the real food you have never tasted it.
Gli Americani se la prendono quando vengono superati in qualcosa, ma a loro volta non risparmiano critiche nei nostri confronti in altri campi.
Per cui va bene così, se la possono anche riporre. Se devono imparare a vestirsi, a cucinare, a fare arte e saperla apprezzare, devono venire in Italia. E studiare.
I LOVED this video!! It makes me want to try the traditional versions even more!!
Go for it! 😍
As someone who is Italian-Australian and who’s family is 80 percent Italian 10 percent Prussian/German and the rest being Australian I can tell you that the Italian side always argues about the food that is cooked for them. I think Frozen Pizza isn’t that bad but I’ll admit when Authentic Italian Pizza beats it.
not all Italians are like this, there are many Italians much more tolerant, of course this was a video in which the reactions are amplified!
Vincenzo's Plate everything should be amped to the max. Especially the flavour of the food.
to be fair...Mac & Cheese isn't an Italian dish. it's very much American comfort food.
blknitenca in Italia there is a pasta...its 4 formaggi ....quella è bona na mac and ciiis diocane
spinciotto amen
blknitenca nope lol
ehm..no
blknitenca that's correct. Mac&cheese is older than the arrival of Italians in the US. Its origins are Italian, but more ancient. that's the way we prepared pasta during the renaissance, it was with cheese, milk, and sometimes honey and cinnamon. So I think it's correct to say that it's not affiliated to the other dishes (Italian American) they presented in this video.
Basta rovinarci il cibo

I’m French but my ex-girlfriends family was off the boat and thank GOD the mother actually accepted me and taught me how to properly cook authentic Italian dishes. Unfortunately my wife today is from Colombia and she’s happy eating Papa Johns yukkkkkkk........
How about cook Columbian food for her?
Thanks, this made me smile 😁
Glad to hear that!
I'm from New York, which is Italian central, and one doesn't have to look hard for real Italian food, but at the same time many places will adapt to the American palate. It's like our McDonalds here compared to the ones in India. Try ordering a beef Big Mac there...good luck.
che pronuncia di merda, reazioni finte, risate messe a caso

I'm Italian and I agree with them. Like no Italian food is better than Italian food made in Italy or made by your Italian relatives. Take this from an Italian who loves food lol
Mangiare bene, mangiare sano, e mangiare italiano
Misleading title, this video has nothing to do with America! Its filmed in Leichhardt Italian forum in Sydney Australia. The food they are eating is Italian Australian.
Right!

Poche semplici regole per chi intende cimentarsi con la cucina italiana:
1) è generalmente poco elaborata;
2) è alla portata di tutti, (italiani e non);
3) (il più importante) presuppone l'uso di prodotti freschi e di qualità.
In merito alle pietanze del video credo che la vera impresa venga dopo averle mangiate e consiste nel riuscire a digerirle. Basta anche solo un'occhiata alle pizze per rendersi conto di quanto siano state infarcite e appesantite con ingredienti di dubbia qualità. Qualcuno ha detto: "siamo ciò che mangiamo", io aggiungo: "la salute prima di tutto". Se aveste fatto l'esperimento con un americano che vive in Italia anche solo da pochi mesi probabilmente vi avrebbe risposto come i signori del video che, oltretutto, sono una coppia di anziani siciliani (la cui cucina tradizionale è eccellente) e dei ristoratori: vogliamo conferire loro un premio al "coraggio nel ruolo di assaggiatori"?
as a Chilean from an italian family that has american and italian food: they are not imitations, or fake, american pizza is american pizza, and italian pizza is italian pizza, i like them both but its like comparing rice and noodles.
American pizza is garbage and an insult to us Italians. Anyone who defends American pizza is not Italian, but a traitor who should call themselves American from now on.
O5:30 "Coll'andare del tempo, questi qua fanno anche male!" LMAO, parole sante!!
please keep your traditions! They are beautiful!
I will!
Going to Italy next month. Cant wait to try authentic Italian food.
I'm Sicilian and literally everyone I know eats pasta every day, once a day (although I'm sure many Italians don't.) Dinner is usually bread based, breakfast is usually a sweet croissant or roll, coffee, milk, cookies, Nutella on Fette Biscottate, and the best Sicilian breakfast of sweet brioche dipped in almond granita. Last time there, they thought my husband so strange for eating eggs for breakfast. Yeah Vincenzo, you served them up nasty frozen food, but these people were very rude and snobby, but that is how Italians are, and it is true! They have a lot of pride in their food and culture, and they should, but it doesn't mean they should be disrespectful. Italians grow up believing they are the best in everything and that Italy is the best place in the world, and don't get me wrong, I'm an Italian and I love Italy, but when you have that attitude it makes it hard to appreciate all the other beautiful cultures in this world. Also, last time I visited, about 3 years ago, I stayed for quite a while and American food was really popular. But whenever a cousin served me up "American" food or we went to an "American" restaurant, I didn't criticize the "Italianized" American food and call it disgusting and inauthentic, I'm not that rude.
There's a lot of snobbery around Italian and French food. And you're right it is a bit rude. I think the problem is when you call it Italian food or compare it to the authentic dishes. This video got me thinking about my own grandma's cooking. I love her pasta sauce but even though she grew up in Southern Italy and was taught by her mum you probably won't find the sauce she makes on any menu in an Italian restaurant in Italy. I think it's probably quite unique, and therefore technically not authentic but it's based on authentic Italian cuisine and I'm sure not every family and individual in Italy cooks in exactly the same way. If you approach food in this manner you can miss out on good food and the food culture never evolves.
As an person who lived in Italy can proudly say that italians will offend almost everything that "is italian but not made by them". They take great pride in whatever they cook and they will reject so many times whatever they see because it's not made by an italian, even if it's crap. It's an shitty represantion of the true stuff happening. I have seen italians who did eat made by others non italian and didn't act like idiots. Sorry I respect Italy, love it's cuisine but this is an poor representation of the Italy
That is not the problem!
The fact is that that dishes don't exist in italy!
It's funny and quite terrible!
Doesn't matter who cocked them! The recipes are complitely wrong or don't exist!
Marco Bonvicini Some of the dishes were created by Italians who moved to the US during the 1960
we are not disrespectful but sincere.if your dishes are shit is not our fault. take it with your "CHEF".
that's the point. some of those dishes were created by some 2nd-3rd generation italo-american guy, for americans, and they call them 'italian' for commercial strategy. But there's nothing of italian in them.
It's something like... i see your name is hans, so i assume probably you have german ancestors.
So you move in new york or boston when you're 2 yo, and when you're 25 you start a restaurant where you serve bratwurst, weisswurst, pretzels...
But pretzel are not with the same materials of german pretzels, wurstels are not with same meat proportion, you don't use german mustard, but ketchup, barbecue sauce... so you're not serving german cooking like they do in HB brewery in munchen. You're serving dishes who have the same shape of the true ones, but tailor-made for americans.
It's not about being jealous of our food. it's just that this kind of video is a scam, a clickbait made of clicheès.
I could do the same, being an italian, for japanese food here. I mean they call it sushi, ramen, uramaki, ecc ecc, but it'll never be like the one you eat in Tokyo. It just looks similar :)
We don't offend anyone it's Just the truth, you add cheese to everything, bad quality pasta, and bad cook sauce, so if you don't know what is the italian food, make this food but don't call it "italian" cause it's not italian! Come in italy and try real pasta or pizza or spaghetti or lasagne or everything else, but don't cook "pizza with pineapple" and keep say "pizza" cause it's not!
Now you know what we go though in the US. But it’s much better these days, you find very good authentic Italian food as well!
This is a very correct depiction of real Italian foods. After coming home from public school one day, my mom asked me what I had. I told her I had two lunches mixed together: spaghetti and a hamburger. My mom only puts Italian sausage in spaghetti. She asked me if I ate it, I said yeah 🤷 She asked me if I was sick, did I get sick lol. And was 💯 % serious
Thanks for sharing your story! It's great to hear that Italian cuisine cured you 😂🇮🇹 Hope you try out some of my recipes!
I love your recipes. I can feel the love and precision as you combine ingredients. Italian food is love and a masterpiece.
Can you do a video on Italian Cheese Cake made only with Ricotta
