We already visited the "Little Italy", NYC you're probably most familiar with, but have you heard of Arthur Ave? This neighborhood in the Bronx claims to be the "REAL" Little Italy in NYC, so of course, we had to check it out for ourselves. Mozzarella shops, cannoli, Italian grocery shopping, coffee, bakeries, salami tasting and eating at Enzo's- what do you think? Is this an authentic Italian experience in the USA?

@@ThePasinishave you found anything authentic in Nashville? I’ve been so disappointed with the lack of good Italian in Nashville. Maggiano’s and Coco’s just aren’t cutting it 😂. If you have any recommendations help a girl out please! I have been all over middle TN looking for authentic Italian and have been severely disappointed. My great grandmother immigrated from Campania and I can’t find anything close to what I get from my family.

Wow … you almost brought me to tears. I grew up in the Bronx in late 1950s. My mom used to drag me to the Italian stores. Salami hanging from ceiling. Sawdust on the floor. Amazing aromas. Ravioli and pasta. A million memories. Arthur Ave is pretty much what is left. So happy you 2 got to enjoy it !!!! God Bless you both.

@brunopadovani7347 Год назад

@@gkennedy2998 Close. Maybe 5-10 blocks away. I believe that the neighborhood is called Dyker Heights. 14th Ave & 75th St. Pretty much that whole section of Brooklyn, from Bay Ridge, to beyond where my grandparents lived on 63rd St. was Italian in the 60s & 70s, with fantastic restaurants, bakeries and salumerias. I imagine that it was like a giant Arthur Ave. A few of my relatives still live there, and in Bensonhurst, but the ethnic composition of the neighborhoods have changed, but not for the worse, as the crime is still low. We moved out to New Jersey in the mid 60s, so I really didn't grow up in Brooklyn.

I'm a South Carolinian who lived in Westchester County and worked daily in NYC for 15 years. Lots of places in the Tri State area will have their little enclaves of Italian American shops and restaurants but Arthur Ave is a world unto itself. You can find things here that you cannot find anywhere else - a paradise for cooks and food lovers and admirers of all things Italian. It is especially wonderful during the holidays and on warm summer evenings when you can stroll from shop to shop, having a gelato and hearing lots of Italian being spoken. On a warm, sunny day get a nice bottle of wine, some sparkling water, olives and roasted peppers, good bread , some really good cheeses and a blanket and flop on the grass somewhere in a nice park and relax, eat, take a nap. The best Little Italy, period. I miss it!

@michaeljordan7154 Год назад

My Grandfather was born 6 months after his mom arrived in America. (Southwestern Italian Coast) Spent his whole life in New York. He always swore to me that the old world people never ate in Manhattan's Little Italy. it was all in the Bronx. Looks like many years later it still holds true.

Yup, Brazil has Italians too! An estimated 32 million descendants in Brazil, making them the largest number of people with Italian ancestry outside Italy (they also have the most people with Japanese ancestry outside Japan)! With the most populous city with Italian ancestry being São Paulo. Arthur Ave in The Bronx really is a wholesome area with its charm, though I don't take an Uber there but rather the Metro-North Railroad to Fordham and then walk. Trains are the preferred mode of transport in the NY metro, and taking Metro-North gives me an excuse to take in the beauty of Grand Central Terminal (and soon, the Long Island Railroad will open in Grand Central too). That "IIIIT'S JOHNNY!" picture on the door at 3:15 is the chef's kiss.

Take the train if you're in Manhattan, definitely. I live in the Bronx not too far from Arthur Avenue (I'm near University Ave & Burnside Ave) so the bus is much more convenient for me. 😁👍 Only I'm of Puerto Rican desent so I tend to stick to the more Latin American/Hispanic areas of the Bronx when I do go anywhere (which isn't often admittedly). I'm going to have to swing by Arthur Avenue sometime soon though (when I'm not broke) at least to get some bread and possibly some cheese, lol. I'm suddenly craving good pasta too. 😅 Maybe swing I'll by China Town too one day. It's amazing how you tend to forget about other countries foods when you get too immersed in your own, or too lazy to care what you eat. 😉

So delighted that you made the journey to the Bronx. I'm a third generation Bronx guy--my whole family lived in the Bronx from the 1920's so we went way back. Sicilian, Mio nonno vincenzo era un uomo d'affari proprietario di 5 barbieri: era molto conosciuto e rispettato nella comunità siciliana del Bronx. We grew up with the Bronx. I worked as a public-school teacher in Bronx high schools for 20 years, in fact just up the block from Arthur Avenue. I know the neighborhood well., and yes, it's the real "Little Italy". There are some neighborhoods in Brooklyn like Carrol Gardens, Bay Ridge and Williamsburg which have some real Italian shops and great restaurants, but honestly, I think Arthur Ave. is the best. Plus, there is the Bronx Zoo and Botanical Gardens not far from there and "must see" NY sights.

Thank you for this video it brought great memories and tears too my eyes. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Mt. Vernon N.Y. There were some incredible little Italian restaurants in town but our go to spot for holiday provisions and great food was Arthur Ave. At the time "Dominics" was our favorite restaurant there. Family style seating which meant you sat at long tables with strangers. No menu, waiter would come and ask what you want and as long as they had fresh ingredients for that dish then the chef made it. I now am retired and live in Puerto Rico, got here after living in Mexico, Hawaii, and Virgin Islands. And never in all the places I've lived have I ate as good Italian food as Arthur Ave.

As a Fordham University graduate, I can say that I expected that all Italian restaurants would be as good as the homestyle eateries in Belmont. Was I ever wrong! Outside of Italy, you can't find better food than Arthur Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood of The Bronx.

I grew up in Mt. Vernon as well. I'm an Italian-American. My Italian neighborhood everyone knew each other, couldn't get away with anything. By the time I would get home my family would already know from one of the old ladies dressed in black sitting on the stoop.

This was great. I can think of several famous ethnic neighborhoods where the original one turns into a tourist attraction while the people in question actually have another more real, down-to-earth neighborhood that’s not so tourist famous. San Francisco’s Chinatown and Chicago’s first Greektown immediately come to mind, where normal folks live and interact. And how satisfying to find the flavors that match your memories from home, instead of Americanized versions. That grocery story reminded me of going into a normal Greek or Turkish grocery with none of the kitsch. It’s something I didn’t expect with a population that is so long-established in the US. But NY is always a gateway city, that’s what makes it so special. Next time I’m in NY I’ll definitely check out Arthur Ave.!

I went to a coffee expo. There was at least 400 vendors, pushing their coffee. I was working as a chef (I am a woman) I was my only employee. I had to pick out a new coffee for us to use. I wasn’t really finding anything I liked until I left. As I started to reach the double doors, I hear this man with an Italian accent call me over in a way that I can’t quite explain. His beckoning call was a little flirtatious. I believe him to be in his 60s at the time. He had the square stainless steel box and he pushed a button and all of a sudden these enormous aroma started wafting toward me and he pulled out this cup with an oil slick on top of nothing but pure coffee essence. It was the single most aromatic full of flavor coffee experience I’ve ever had to this day. Of course I had to buy his coffee.

What a great vlog! Makes me want to book a flight now and stay around Arthur Ave in the Bronx. I always look for the cremosa in my caffe here in Florida, no luck. I have to go to Italy to get good espresso! Alessio was so joyful and you too Jessi. Omg Enzo I have to go! Andiamo ragazzi!

@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un Год назад

Alessio: Okay Amore, we are in- Driver: (honks) Jessi: Every time! Driver: *AND I'LL HYUCKING DO IT AGAIN!* If you go across the Hudson River to Jersey City, they have something NYC doesn't have but Rome has....a LIGHT RAIL/TRAM! I think you two should go to Orlando and stay at Universal's Portofino Bay resort. As the name suggests, it's a replica of Portofino in Genoa, and it's supposed to be Universal Orlando's best resort

First off, I LOVE all of your videos! You guys are so charming and so endearing and I always learn a few things! Today, you have made me yearn to visit NY again. I'm from Georgia (your video from Nashville with the biscuits made this Southern heart sing) and I consider Arthur Ave one of the great wonders of the world. I've had the pleasure of dining at Enzo's and it was DIVINE. I first learned of it through a show called Extra Virgin with Gabriele Corcos and Debi Mazar and now, here is another favorite couple I love to follow, strolling down Arthur Ave and taking me to some wonderful memories of time I spent there. Thanks so much for the joy you spread.

OMG I’ve dreamed of waking up in a cantina like that!! Don’t forget Brovade and Muset!! We eat it at all of our special occasions. Oh! And by the way, my nonna said that when she came here and they tried feeding her rapini and she said that was cow food back home LOL 😂 you guys always make my heart a little bit warmer when I watch your videos!! 💕

@@ThePasinis the pleasure is all mine! The only thing that would be even better if Alessio would speak in Furlan 💕👍 my relatives still speak it here in Canada but I hear that the dialect is disappearing in Italy! We have a place by my house called Famee Furlane and we used to go all the time for events :) I love the language! I took Italian class in school but I got all the answers wrong because I answered in Furlan 😆 “no signorina, it’s gatto not gjat” 😆 Ps. My daughter’s middle name is Alessia 😎
