Speaking ITALIAN in LITTLE ITALY, New York City 

i was already eating Italian food. while watching this.

👋🏻

I love them so happy and funny…👍👍👍

hahahaha LOL

Not really. If you have lived or you are from Europe almost everybody speaks at least 2,3 or more languages. Closest languages like Spanish, Portuguese or Italian are easy to learn and practice. French is a little bit more complicated to speak for the pronunciation but they also do speak Italian, even English and German.

@@andrewrogers1838 😂😂

@@andrewrogers1838 The bad reputation of French people comes mainly from parisians. They have a reputation of being rude just like New Yorkers. But if you greet them, say at least Bonjour, Parlez vous anglais, italien will have no problem to help you or talk you back in english, Italian or what ever if they know and talk a little bit of the other language. French people in the south they might even talk in italian because they live close to an Italian town and vice versa. French people are more cold even distant in the north. Paris is like another planet to most French people, some of them they don’t like them. But it is just like NY or LA to most rural Americans. Italian people are very warm, talk very fast, very friendly, love to share things that contrast with the shy, introverted, paused way of the French. Plus you have to understand that most European countries have old wounds from old wars and occupations specially from France, Germany and Russia. My wife is from Lithuania and she doesn’t like either Germans or Russians. Doesn’t matter it happened ten, a hundred or five hundred years ago there is always that resentment. It is all over Europe. Most European people they recognize for example that Italian food is the best even French and Spaniards. They also have great food. But you will never take a word of an Italian or a French in front of each other. They are equally prideful and chauvinistic. Even there is no more frontiers between them.

Grazie

Just a guess here but I feel he's most happy when Jessi is at his side, the venue doesn't matter

It’s because of the Italian tax system. The north is over taxed and sent to the south. It produces a lot of resentment.

What about Molisians?

This is an exaggeration. My parents are from the South emigrated to the North and no one treated them horribly

hahaha this is so true!🤣 maybe we need to visit this little Paris and have Alessio try some delicious French food!

mi fa piacere perche quando vado in Italia mi dicono che ho perso l'accento❤️

@@ThePasinis da milanese te lo confermo, si sente tantissimo!

love this! What was your favorite recipe from the family??

@@ThePasinis The Sunday sauce. I will never eat snails though, as I was given the job of knocking them back into the pot when they were trying to climb out. Yet I have no problem throwing a lobster into a pot of boiling water and eating it. There are just to many recipes and my son wants me to write them down. I told him I will cook the food with them as I don't have amounts. It's taste and a pinch of this and that. The only way to truly cook Italian is to cook with an Italian. I am so glad that I got that chance!!

we thinking about it!

Thank you so much! We are so happy you enjoyed it!

SO many people have told us to visit The North End! We have to do it!!

I wouldn't say it's bigger though lol. Still fun ofc. Also Arthur avenue in the Bronx and lots of Brooklyn

Other cities always make it a competition lol. Stop it

We love this so much!! We hope your language lessons go well! Maybe we will see you in Italy someday 😊

@@ThePasinis Italy is my dream place since I was in high school like 2006. I will definetely see it. And like you said who knows maybe one day we can meet 😍

we had so much fun exploring!

I do

Grazie Mille❤️

thank you so much!

Do bergamo

ooo thank you for the tip! We've heard great things about Carmines so we are curious to try it!!

Carmines is good but so Americanized. And Times Square is triple the price of everywhere else lol

Well yes- in times Square their prices are inflated but when you're looking to have an amazing meal before/after a Broadway show the convenience of its location is more economical than paying for parking, tipping and a cab

Have you only ever eaten Italian food at Carmine’s ‘cause that’s the only way I could see anyone in the entire tri state area saying they best Italian food they’ve ever had was in Times Square.

@@ThePasinis Chicken scarpariello and the hot antipasti platter are my recs. There's another Carmine's on Boradway at 90th, if you want to not be in a touristy neighborhood. I'd also be curious for you guys to go to Lombardi's Pizza in Soho on Spring St., John's of 12th St (very old restaurant), for fancy treat/occasion Il Cantinori 10th St. which is pretty expensive.

It is not so strange. People think Italians are “white” and “European” like that is supposed to be a definitive distinction that likens all European countries together, but Italy is very much a Mediterranean country, and had a lot of history/trade with the Middle East and Northern Africa. The British isles are going to have more of that northern Viking influence although the Roman influence is definitely there, and they have that cold weather and potatoes culture like a lot of the Northern European states

well it is known that back in the Byzantine area a lot of Nordic warriors did go to Constantinople (Istanbul) to fight as hired man. Big chance that they would bring there own culture and adopt some of the local culture and brought it back home.

It is like assuming a Danish person could be Swedish. Some countries have close phenotypes and cultural markers.

@@yokoakimura Yeah that's because Italians ARE “white” and “European” and did not only trade or mingle with M.E. and N. African countries but also with Northern Europeans...LEARN SOME HISTORY or stick to Asian history

Yes. You are absolutely right. I noticed something strange though. Because my husband is Swedish, I thought I would take a stab at learning Swedish! I was baking the other day, and without thinking, I started using some food words in Italian aloud and when my mother in law heard me, she understood it when I told her "Cinnamon Roll even though she her Italian is non existent. Latin came into usages in Sweden in the 1600 so I assume Swedish got some of it's root words from Latin

🤣🤣🤣

You should! but wait for the nexts videos for a big surprise

@@ThePasinis I’m excited!!

Thank you so much!!
