Lol Yes! They actually opened several Red Lobsters actually IN MAINE. I can't recall how long they lasted against REAL local restaurants selling fresh off the boat.
I'd love for you to do a video making your cheesecake with the maple syrup! Please do some cooking/baking videos walking us through everything from start to finish! Thank you for another great watch! 💜
food is food, they are realy nice and eat everything from Alessio and Jessi, for free, why not, even if this is not tasty.( i make a mistake and wrote n instead T,) They are not that picky like Alessio🤣
@@johnathoncastro Truth is that neighbors dont have that sensitive taste. And everyone has a different taste. For example, Allesio and Jessi love PROSSECO, me to, is deliciouse, amazing wine but my brother hate this wine, for him is disgusting. This is great that they dont waste food and give this for his neighbor. If you grow up and eat food like this so often, this is tasty for you. And plus you have added some seasonings, pepper, salt garlic etc in home ande improve taste for better. Alessio and Jessi are the cutes, nicest and sweet couple ever. They are axample what marriage should looks like. They realy love each others. You can see this everytome when loking at each otchers.
I agree about the fried macaroni, and it was nice to see Jessie re-enjoy her childhood birthday pasta. Id love to see Alessio eat one of their HUGE salads. Back in the day we'd order the macaroni app split a salad, and eat cheesecake. No idea what happened to the cheesecake.
That was the first place that made me pass on French fries with no difficulty. They used to use the stringy French fries, and they would give you a pound. I could pass on those. Now that they've switched them up, it's harder. So what I've done the last few times I've gone (and I only go about once every two years) is find the colleague who wants a bit of salad. I order the skinnylicious turkey burger (which comes with salad), and they order something with fries. We share the fries and salad with each other. That way, I get a few good fries, but I don't have to worry about too many calories. And everyone gets cheesecake. I love watching people's faces when they see the cheesecake case at the front of the restaurant and the list of all of the flavors available
Growing up going to the Cheesecake Factory, my go to was the bang bang chicken and shrimp!, and the adams caramel fudge ripple something cheesecake! So good 😋
I'm American. The Cheesecake Factory is the embodiment of American excess that other countries scoff at. The gigantic menu with every style food, the inventive combination dishes, the ridiculous portion sizes... pure excess 😅
Cheesecake Factory was one of the hottest restaurants when it first came out. The variety of the menu made it a crowd favorite among friends and families dining out. It’s been awhile since I’ve been. Thinking about all the good times spent there makes me want to go again.
It has been a couple of years since I have been to one, since they are about an hour away from me. But every time I go, there's a wait for a table. They seem to just do steady business all day long
Went to one in Seattle recently. It was as good as I remembered. Portions were huge (easy leftovers) and the food was delicious. Like other sit down chains, quality is going to be location dependent. My friend got the chicken club with avocado which was one of best chicken clubs I've ever had.
@@islandbee It sure was! The one about a block from the crappy Pacific Place mall. 7th and Pike if i recall correctly. This was on a weekday at like 6pm. I got the spicy rigatony vodka sauce pasta and a giant fruity margarita thing (cursed combo, I know). But I was with a big group and everybody loved their food, including me. It may have been cuz we were all starving after work, but I would give it a shot haha
by the way, it's crazy that you happen to be a Seattle area person who I mentioned this to. Or at least it seems like you are, given that you're referring to that as Downtown. I have since moved out of state, but yeah, give it a try
I have not tried their avocado egg rolls, although I had some chicken avocado egg rolls at a place outside Minneapolis that were fabulous! I miss the Navajo sandwich. I really wish they would bring it back
I remember all of the chains being special occasion restaurants. When Cheesecake Factory first opened, it was this amazing experience, but it's never been that good. But you can't help but crave it. Even as a kid, I couldn't finish a piece of cheesecake. It was way too, as I would learn to call it, rich.
I learned to eat the smallest meal possible so that I could have cheesecake; in the old days, I would get what I wanted and take the cheesecake home. But they quit making the Navajo sandwich, so I went to eating egg and asparagus salad, and when they took that away, a skinnylicious turkey burger.
One thing I learned about my dad, you don’t take him to Italian restaurants. He always had something to say about the sauce! Coming from an Italian family everyone had their own take on their sauces. To me they were all good. Now that I am older I find myself saying the same things my dad use to say about Italian food. 😅 When I make pasta dishes for friends at work they love it. I had some great cooks in my family and I carry on that tradition.
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is beautiful all times of year. Just avoid the Bushes beans and greens plant especially if they are cooking off the gas. It smells like a giant dookie. I haven't been back since the fire engulfed the strip but there is so much money out there I imagine they built it back bigger and better. Thankful the Aquarium survived.
@@arich9326not a bad idea. In Boston's North end, it truly is a bit old world. If you go there on a Saturday afternoon, you will see little old ladies out doing their shopping for Sunday, because everything is closed on Sunday. Grandmas in black dresses with their hair in a bun and pulling their shopping carts, they go to the spice store, then on to the bakery, then to the butcher, ETC
If you ever get the chance to come by St. Louis, I believe the two of you, and Alessio in particular, would really enjoy dining and shopping in the Hill neighborhood. It's been described as America's 'Last Little Italy', and has some amazing shops and restaurants. I love it. There are a fair number of other fairly authentic Italian places around town - not just on the Hill, and if you try only one, I suggest Vito's. It's over bly St. Louis University / near downtown. But it seems like everyone who works there is family, from the tiny aggressive nona working the reservations and host station to the bus-boys. They serve arancini and some of the best pizzas I've had in America. Chilled water with no ice!
@@judykeown Well at least I know 😕 will try it one day nonetheless but from the ingredients I have seen it will definitely not taste like your regular cheesecake.
The best cheesecake I’ve ever had was from Termini Brothers bakery in south Philadelphia on 8th street. They have 2 types. One is the thick New York style cheesecake, and the other is a thin cheesecake with fruit filling on the bottom. And the Italian rum cake is to die for!
My wife and I used to love going here like 15 years ago...I feel like we've become food snobs because now going here seems like a nightmare. We used to share one entree because it was like 2,000 calories just for that alone, nevermind the bread, pop or the cheesecake dessert.
That's not true. They bake and make most of their food from scratch. Only certain cheesecakes are sent to the restaurant frozen. They back their bread there at the restaurants
Eiiii but you're eating a supplì as appetizer!! In Rome you can find lots of places where to eat "pasta arancini" but they call it supplì, and the modern version is with pasta (amatriciana, cacio e pepe etc). You're always hilarious, keep it up!! ❤
Jessi, you are adorable, and the two of you are so funny!!! Mi fate ridere!! 😂😂 I’ve found your channel recently but have never commented until now. Tante preghiere for you both and successful IVF. 🙏🙏
Hi👍 my mother used to fry the pasta and then bring to boil with a tomato sauce with garlic onion oregano salt little cummin 🤌🤌🤌 we love it cus we eat it as soup🕊️
It's so funny... Nostalgic foods just hit!! Even my mom's tuna noodle casserole can be the best food in the world on any given day...know what i mean? Jessi, this was just your nostalgic comfort food. It doesn't need to be the most wonderful gourmet meal, it just hits for you. Good enough lol. ❤. Try their chicken piccata...its good, but the pasta is the same nasty plain, dry pasta...ask to switch it out with mashed potatoes or a vegetable.
You two are adorable and delightful! Jessi is so cute in this. I don't care for Cheesecake Factory. No went years ago when they first opened. I didn't think anything I had had any finesse. It was all over-the-top, calorie dense. I was touched, though, that Jessi had fond memories of it as her favorite birthday spot growing up ❤
Hi. I love the food reviews. You’re both such a good team. I’m a relatively new subscriber, and only recently saw a few of your videos from New York. In your episode looking for the best cannoli, you visited Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn. I lived in Carroll Gardens from 1986 through 2003. When I lived there, Mazolla Bakery only made bread and some cookies. If you ever go back, what you need to try is their lard bread. I don’t know if that’s a thing from Italy, but it is a big thing with New York Italians, and Mazzola makes one of the best. As for pizza, Alessio needs to try Sam’s Pizza on Court Street in Brooklyn. Look it up in Yelp and the pictures will speak for themselves. They use a plain tomato sauce, the best cheese, and have all kinds of toppings to choose from. Nothing real fancy, but the brick oven can’t be beat. As far as the bakeries there go, I used to always get my pastries at Monteleone’s. One of my best friends from that neighborhood was related to the Caputo family who owned Caputo’s Bakery, but they were better known for their bread and their breakfast pastry. One thing about the bakeries in Carroll Gardens is that each one uses a predominate spice in their pastries. One always smelled and tasted of almond paste, one had cinnamon in everything and one had anise in everything. It was an interesting little quirk. Now, I just want to say that my favorite Italian dessert is zabaglione, and the Marco Polo restaurant on Court Street in Brooklyn makes it table side. I’ve never heard either of you mention zabaglione, so is that another thing invented by New York Italians that is not known in Italy? Just curious. My family is originally from eastern Tennessee and Bristol, Virginia. My father was in the Air Force, and the place I lived the longest was Brooklyn. My main way of making a living in New York was as a paralegal at a talent agency, but I was also an opera singer. My main second language is French, but I have a working knowledge of Italian from singing in operas. I now live in Rapid City, SD, which is a wasteland as far as Italian food goes. We have sad pizza here, and while Sabatino’s Restaurant is doing well, it’s expensive and loud, and the pasta is fancy. We do have an Olive Garden here, and I usually have the shrimp scampi there. It is a light lemon sauce with shrimp and asparagus tossed in angel hair pasta, which they surprisingly don’t overcook like they do their spaghetti. I have a feeling it’s because they have to cook the angel hair on order because if you partially cook it beforehand, it will disintegrate if it’s put in the water a second time. Hope this isn’t too long for you to read. Seriously, though, keep my suggestions in mind if you go to New York again. Thanks for the good times. Jill (I’m called by middle name).
@@PaleHorseO.o I taught another language for 30 years, and we actually talked about error correction. Students pick up on it when someone from another country tells them they have the wrong answer. It's a very abrupt "no!" and then they move on. American educators are so used to having to soften the blow, saying, "not exactly...." or "almost/ not quite..." 😅
I find someone who is ordering something with french fries at my table, I get the skinnylicious turkey burger, which comes with salad. If somebody is feeling guilty about the cal, we can go halfsies on salad and French fries. Then I can get the cheesecake if there's room. They had a sandwich called the Navajo sandwich that I absolutely loved, and when they took it away, I moved to the warm asparagus and egg salad. But then they took that away, so I just gave up. I order the turkey burger if I'm hungry, and if I can't eat it all, I just take cheesecake to go
My favorite dish there is the crusted chicken ramano, but I ask for it in Alfredo sauce instead of marinara. I had an employee recommend this to me one time and I've never changed my order since. It's essentially flattened breaded chicken breast served with spaghetti
You should've pointed the problem out to the server. I ordered a dish I thought I'd like took two bites and asked to replace because the seasoning didn't taste good. They happily did so and the manager came and checked if the replacement was better.
Yes! Or at least asked for some Alfredo sauce on the side so he could add it himself if he didn't want to trouble them by asking for it to be remake/fixed
The lightest cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory is the vanilla bean cheesecake it’s lighter and more whipped. And also in the chocolate the Godiva chocolate cheesecake is again very light on the menu also the Godiva brownie awesome some of the cheesecakes with cake is also very good ! Enjoy there’s a lot on the menu to try I just seem to eat my favorites every-time so there’s the whole menu left lol
I think they do fried pasta in Naples! Anyway I won't take any cheesecake slander, it's my favourite cake!! Though for that Oreo one, Alessio, teach Jessi an important italian word: MAPPAZZONE!
The Cheesecake Factory was my favorite restaurant, but sadly I moved and there is not one around me. The chicken parmesan pizza was the worst thing I've ever had from there. I couldn't even make myself eat the leftovers I brought home. The pineapple upside down cheesecake is my favorite! Pineapple upside down cake is nostalgic for me because my grandma always made it when I was a kid.
I had the pineapple upside down cheesecake last time! I usually get something Much heavier with peanut butter or chocolate, but the P.U.C. was fantastic! It was lighter and brighter than most Factory options!!
@@dananegron that's usually what I prefer too, although the Craig's crazy carrot cake is way too rich and that has cake in it. Same with one of the chocolate peanut butter ones. The last few times I have gone, (and it has been a couple of years since I went since it's an hour from me), I ordered the chocolate hazelnut crunch cheesecake. It's excellent.
Even though you rated the cheesecakes a 4 and 4.1, I still want some! My family has been there many times and we've enjoyed lots of things from their menu over the years. However it's not our favorite place to eat. Happy New Year!❤😊
Visiting the States from UK I had my first ever crab rangoon at Cheesecake Factory last year, it was lovely. Unfortunately everything else, not so much 😅
Hey family if you go back please try the pineapple upside down cheese cake and the DaVinci pasta!Our family is also European and we like those! The parmigiana eggplant is a no, and so is the breaded chicken! Hi from Oklahoma 😊
The Chicken Madeira is my absolutely favorite dish at Cheesecake Factory. Their sourdough bread is also pretty fantastic. I prefer it over their brown bread.
Lol… you are tasting family memories… that is why it was so good for Jessi. Go for their chicken salad sandwich…yum! Plain oreo cheesecake without so much chocolate is best.
My mom and I would always share the mac and cheese balls and the crusted chicken Romano, which has the same sauce they use for the mac and cheese balls. Cheesecake Factory was also my restaurant of choice for my birthday. We would request only brown bread, too. We would also get the Godiva chocolate cheesecake! I have many good memories there.
I'm normally very critical of America's version of Italian food, but I actually really like the pasta carbonara at Cheesecake Factory - but I always get it without the peas.
WHY do I LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys?? It's because you have SO MUCH FUN when you do anything with food together ! I have NEVER BEEN to a Cheesecake Factory, but now I want to drive 20 miles with a friend and have just what you two ordered. But, of course, I won't have as much fun as you two do when you go anywhere out to eat in the USA or Italy. By the way, I'm already 20 pounds overweight according to my doctor, who advises me to limit the carbs and fats and red meats, but at my age, (over 70) I need to LIVE at least A LITTLE, once in a while!
I beg you to try the Shepherds Pie...and dont forget to add some tabasco and black pepper for a little kick! And dont forget to dunk the brown bread into the gravy!
I guess you could think of this place. Kind of like a buffet. Everyone knows when you go to a buffet you usually pay a fair price and get very low quality food. But you get a lot of it. Here The kicker is that they have a huge menu. It doesn't necessarily mean that everything is good, they just have a lot of stuff
I've never been there, and always thought it was a factory where you toured and tasted different flavors of cheesecake lol! WV gal here, never even seen one.
When we went to America ages ago, we only ordered appetizers, because we just could not eat the portions 🫣 Thankfully they did not mind at restaurants, we didn’t want to be rude.
I worked at Red Lobster, and I learned that corporate kitchen food is bastardized. Mom and pop restaurants were always better to patronize. JMO.
Could be worse, 20 years ago I worked at Buca, and we all know how much Alessio loves that place.
Lol Yes! They actually opened several Red Lobsters actually IN MAINE.
I can't recall how long they lasted against REAL local restaurants selling fresh off the boat.
That's what we call standardization.
Oreo cheesecake "It's better ...
4.1". I almost spit out my tea
Spat, not spit.
I'd love for you to do a video making your cheesecake with the maple syrup! Please do some cooking/baking videos walking us through everything from start to finish! Thank you for another great watch! 💜
That would be awesome
YES

New York cheesecake is the best
Yes, please! 😃

Chicken Bellagio, Pasta Davinci and the Tiramisu cheesecake!!!
The chicken Bellagio is pretty good!
Learn to cook. You will eat better every day of the week for less.
Agreed more research needed. Chicken Bellagio is pesto pasta, breaded chicken, prosciutto and arugula salad on top.
As italian I have no idea of what are you saying 😂😂😂
Most of the time, when I have pasta outside my home I have to add a lot of parmesan cheese to help with the sauce flavor.
You guys make me smile and laugh. Isn’t that the highest compliment? Wishing you both a FANTASTIC 2025 overflowing with love and more adventures. ❤❤❤
the Thai lettuce wraps are the best on their menu
Please take him to Gatlinburg. I would love to see his reaction and taste test of different places.

Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Don’t miss Dollywood where the food is quite good.

From Croatia, we also eat a LOT of cheese cake and we love it! Never tried the recently popular Japanese jiggly cheese cake but I plan to!
I’ve tried the jiggly cheesecakes but I’m not a fan.

My main second language is French, but I have a working knowledge of Italian from singing in operas. I now live in Rapid City, SD, which is a wasteland as far as Italian food goes. We have sad pizza here, and while Sabatino’s Restaurant is doing well, it’s expensive and loud, and the pasta is fancy. We do have an Olive Garden here, and I usually have the shrimp scampi there. It is a light lemon sauce with shrimp and asparagus tossed in angel hair pasta, which they surprisingly don’t overcook like they do their spaghetti. I have a feeling it’s because they have to cook the angel hair on order because if you partially cook it beforehand, it will disintegrate if it’s put in the water a second time. Hope this isn’t too long for you to read. Seriously, though, keep my suggestions in mind if you go to New York again. Thanks for the good times. Jill (I’m called by middle name).
I like how he says "no" like a toddler throwing a tantrum. lol
snobbish
@@christianhansen3292 He is Italian eating non-italian food, so what do you expect?
@@PaleHorseO.o I taught another language for 30 years, and we actually talked about error correction. Students pick up on it when someone from another country tells them they have the wrong answer. It's a very abrupt "no!" and then they move on. American educators are so used to having to soften the blow, saying, "not exactly...." or "almost/ not quite..." 😅
doesn't seem snobby at all. he's very calm and composed, just seems very direct about the authenticity of his culture. i appreciate the realness.
Never went to the cheese cake factory. We don’t have one where I’m at, but I would love to try their stuff.❤💕
I find someone who is ordering something with french fries at my table, I get the skinnylicious turkey burger, which comes with salad. If somebody is feeling guilty about the cal, we can go halfsies on salad and French fries. Then I can get the cheesecake if there's room. They had a sandwich called the Navajo sandwich that I absolutely loved, and when they took it away, I moved to the warm asparagus and egg salad. But then they took that away, so I just gave up. I order the turkey burger if I'm hungry, and if I can't eat it all, I just take cheesecake to go
I love cheesecake factory! Everything there tastes so good. It does not need to be authentic 😅
Exactly, it does not have to be authentic.
I went and was disappointed in the pasta. Mine was better.
Try their Mexican dishes =amazing!
Well, good for american standards i suppose 😅
@@tizioincognito5731exactly lol. Our taste buds are so desensitized by ultra processed foods, it's depressing.
I prefer my grandma's cheesecake recipe over most store bought. Hers is silkier. I do like their strawberry shortcake and hot fudge sundae.
I just love Alessio's accent! Love it! ♥️♥️♥️
My favorite dish there is the crusted chicken ramano, but I ask for it in Alfredo sauce instead of marinara. I had an employee recommend this to me one time and I've never changed my order since. It's essentially flattened breaded chicken breast served with spaghetti
Deep fried Mac n cheese is American Arancino
You should've pointed the problem out to the server. I ordered a dish I thought I'd like took two bites and asked to replace because the seasoning didn't taste good. They happily did so and the manager came and checked if the replacement was better.
Yes! Or at least asked for some Alfredo sauce on the side so he could add it himself if he didn't want to trouble them by asking for it to be remake/fixed
The lightest cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory is the vanilla bean cheesecake it’s lighter and more whipped. And also in the chocolate the Godiva chocolate cheesecake is again very light on the menu also the Godiva brownie awesome some of the cheesecakes with cake is also very good ! Enjoy there’s a lot on the menu to try I just seem to eat my favorites every-time so there’s the whole menu left lol
I think they do fried pasta in Naples! Anyway I won't take any cheesecake slander, it's my favourite cake!! Though for that Oreo one, Alessio, teach Jessi an important italian word: MAPPAZZONE!
My wife was a server here when we first met. I remember her trying to study the giant menu. Good times.
Alessio’s face at 8:55 is iconic
I knew it was trash just by looking at it. 😂
The Cheesecake Factory was my favorite restaurant, but sadly I moved and there is not one around me. The chicken parmesan pizza was the worst thing I've ever had from there. I couldn't even make myself eat the leftovers I brought home. The pineapple upside down cheesecake is my favorite! Pineapple upside down cake is nostalgic for me because my grandma always made it when I was a kid.
I had the pineapple upside down cheesecake last time! I usually get something Much heavier with peanut butter or chocolate, but the P.U.C. was fantastic! It was lighter and brighter than most Factory options!!
@J-Mittens I agree, I like that it has cake and cheesecake so it's not as heavy.
@@dananegron that's usually what I prefer too, although the Craig's crazy carrot cake is way too rich and that has cake in it. Same with one of the chocolate peanut butter ones. The last few times I have gone, (and it has been a couple of years since I went since it's an hour from me), I ordered the chocolate hazelnut crunch cheesecake. It's excellent.
I'm convinced, I'm going to Carrabba's this weekend!
Even though you rated the cheesecakes a 4 and 4.1, I still want some! My family has been there many times and we've enjoyed lots of things from their menu over the years. However it's not our favorite place to eat. Happy New Year!❤😊
Post your cheesecake recipe we would all love to make it I bet!!!
The sauce for the Mac and cheese balls is excellent.
Well, at least you're honest about the food rating. I've got to go back and try some of the food again; it's been a long time.
Visiting the States from UK I had my first ever crab rangoon at Cheesecake Factory last year, it was lovely. Unfortunately everything else, not so much 😅
I LOVE that bread!! I dip mine in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
The white chocolate bread pudding YUMMY
Hey family if you go back please try the pineapple upside down cheese cake and the DaVinci pasta!Our family is also European and we like those! The parmigiana eggplant is a no, and so is the breaded chicken! Hi from Oklahoma 😊
You both are my favorite couple!!
the only social media couple i care for theyre very sweet people effortlessly
The Cheesecake Factory was always my birthday dinner request too!! 😂
I’ve tried many of the Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes. The pineapple upside down cake and banana are both very good if you like those flavors.
The Chicken Madeira is my absolutely favorite dish at Cheesecake Factory. Their sourdough bread is also pretty fantastic. I prefer it over their brown bread.
Lol… you are tasting family memories… that is why it was so good for Jessi. Go for their chicken salad sandwich…yum! Plain oreo cheesecake without so much chocolate is best.
Alessio is so funny in this video. He is tough rating food. Lol. A suggestion- invite a couple of subscribers to do a food review at a restaurant
you need to spread the butter evenly over the bread and then... sprinkle some salt on top! Perfection
My mom and I would always share the mac and cheese balls and the crusted chicken Romano, which has the same sauce they use for the mac and cheese balls. Cheesecake Factory was also my restaurant of choice for my birthday. We would request only brown bread, too. We would also get the Godiva chocolate cheesecake! I have many good memories there.
I'm normally very critical of America's version of Italian food, but I actually really like the pasta carbonara at Cheesecake Factory - but I always get it without the peas.
carbonara.. with peas? that’s how they make it??
That was interesting!!!! Also the ending was so funny lol!!!! 😂😂😂
That ending 🤣
My favourite cheesecakes from Cheesecake Factory are the s’mores cheesecake and the white chocolate raspberry truffle cheese cake.
Love cheesecake factory on holiday. It's delicious and the menu size is so fun. Something for everyone and the atmosphere is calm and fun
WHY do I LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys?? It's because you have SO MUCH FUN when you do anything with food together ! I have NEVER BEEN to a Cheesecake Factory, but now I want to drive 20 miles with a friend and have just what you two ordered. But, of course, I won't have as much fun as you two do when you go anywhere out to eat in the USA or Italy. By the way, I'm already 20 pounds overweight according to my doctor, who advises me to limit the carbs and fats and red meats, but at my age, (over 70) I need to LIVE at least A LITTLE, once in a while!
😂 I love how you both make me laugh thank you ❤ blessings to you both
The four cheese pasta was always my favorite too! But I would mix in the ricotta so it was super creamy
I beg you to try the Shepherds Pie...and dont forget to add some tabasco and black pepper for a little kick! And dont forget to dunk the brown bread into the gravy!
I guess you could think of this place. Kind of like a buffet. Everyone knows when you go to a buffet you usually pay a fair price and get very low quality food. But you get a lot of it. Here The kicker is that they have a huge menu. It doesn't necessarily mean that everything is good, they just have a lot of stuff
Love it there! 😊
I call my favorite restaurant to see who is cooking that night. The cheese cake would be enough to fill me up.
Maybe the chicken was missing lots of GARLIC??
Or salt 😅
My standard CCF routine. Go straight to the case and get 4 pieces to go. Then sit and get dinner- with cheese cake for dessert.
Please come back to try the shrimp scampi! I want to know what you think of it. 🙂
Make a homemade Ricotta cheesecake for us! That would be an amazing video. :)
Their pumpkin cheesecake in the fall is primo!
Love how you ended the video! lol!
I love it when Alessio says "10 of the 10" 😂😂😂
Love the falafel salad, and then the cheesecake.
Happy new yr 😊
My favorite restaurant... their cheesecake is awesome and so are many other things!!! 💖
I've never been there, and always thought it was a factory where you toured and tasted different flavors of cheesecake lol! WV gal here, never even seen one.
I personally like the mango cheesecake with a coconut crust, 😋 it's delicious.
I worked for Cheesecake Factory for 4 years. The number 1 rule was the pasta water needed to be like ocean water….. nice and salty. I’m surprised.😱
Jessi
what is your cheesecake recipe?
When we went to America ages ago, we only ordered appetizers, because we just could not eat the portions 🫣 Thankfully they did not mind at restaurants, we didn’t want to be rude.
