Where Culture Is Served Hot

For Italian Americans, restaurants aren’t just places to eat—they’re community hubs, family legacies, and living history.

In this episode, we dig into the world of Italian American restaurants—both the ones we grew up in and the ones still holding it down today. We talk red-checkered tablecloths, handwritten menus, kitchen chaos, and the pride (and pressure) of serving culture on a plate.

Whether it’s your uncle’s pizzeria, your Nonna’s recipes, or that neighborhood spot where everyone’s “family,” this one’s for the places that fed more than just our stomachs.

🍝 Come hungry.
⚜️ Leave full—of stories, laughs, and maybe a few meatballs.
