Hey from the South Carolina Coast. Wifey and I are Italian also. Also been married for 41 years. We are going to Italy in Feb, ok truth be told we are going to EPCOT Italy 😂 Hope you guys had a blast in Italy !
Even more respect for Giada as she rocks the Pink Floyd T. Thanks for the tips Giada, my wife and I are planning a trip to Italy in September for her birthday, it’s a “bucket list” item for her.
Thank you so much Giada! My husband and I are going to Italy next year for our 30th wedding anniversary and I am so excited. This is so helpful! You, Giada, are the reason I want to go to Italy. I watched your show, Giada in Italy on hgtv years ago and ever since have wanted to go. Thank you for all your great tips! 💗💗
Thank you for such a great video. I was raised in Europe (Spain) and the tips you mention do apply there too maybe with minor differences. Life over there is different, people really enjoy life and take time to savor every moment of it. I have never been to Italy but I know it is a very beautiful place and the people are wonderful. I am very happy to see you again. Have a wonderful day!
I’ve been to Italy multiple times. Many restaurants open at 7:00 In tourist cities such as Florence the restaurants open earlier. Enjoy Italy the people are wonderful
Giada, A+++ and not just for being a Pink Floyd fan-----this segment is 100% correct! That bread made me want to catch the next plane out with family... scarpetta!
Looks like moths ate it. Yuck! When I was growing up if we had a tiny hole in our jeans it was EMBARRASSING! It was patched. Just looks ugly. Would you wear a suit with holes? Nope. Same for any shirt or pants.
I’m 3rd generation Italian, my grandparents immigrated from Italy. But I could never eat a big meal at 9pm and sleep in late in the mornings. I’d be a wreck. Lol! I guess lunch in Italy will have to be my main meal.
That’s pretty much what we do when we’ve gone to Egypt to visit family, and they have a somewhat similar schedule in that way, particularly in the summer when trying to beat the worst of the heat.
She's trying to tell you what Italians do. Any business will cater to unusual requests if there's a buck in it for them. They probably charged you extra for the disposable cup.
I miss Italy. I spent three years living in Gaeta as a kid. I would love to go back some day, to the neighborhood I lived in and see how much it’s change. I also want to go up to Florence I never got there
wow the pizza looked great, in New York we call it stand up pizza, when you fold it, it doesn't flop over lol, the only way, hot, hot, oven very quick, and out, Thank you I hope one day I can use your tips on how to eat in Italy. I haven't sat down to dinner in years, run,run ,run, plenty of stain sticks hahaha
Lol..no one ever returned our tips, in fact they seemed awfully grateful.Come to think of it , neither did they in France Germany, Portugal or in England😊
Yeah I don't know where she eats, but we've always tipped in Italy. Maybe she's talking about really high end restaurants where it's included in the bill.
@@Coco-zu9ob No In any restaurant waiters are paid by the owner of the restaurant and not by the patrons. Only in the US owners get by with this stupid rule relieving themselves of their obligation for a decent wage and full benefits like holiday and pension funds, In Europe any owner acting like that would be arrested.
Yum! I was looking for easy healthy recipes for after my daughter in law has her surgery. Easy enough to bake them up and store in frig or freezer. Then she can just heat and eat when she wants.
We talked about the pineapple with our Italian driver last year when visiting and she was appalled by the idea of that topping lol. She brought us to a restaurant in Sorrento, and on the menu.. pizza with pineapple.
@@cerliezio Nope! I have seen Italians both young and old eating it. My wife and I were looking for traditional Italian food in Rome and our personal guide took us to a restaurant with a wood fire place with "Porchetta" a whole pig roasting over the fire. Across from us were two tables from one family eating pizza and two of the pizzas were with pineapple. I mentioned this to my wife and said, "they're eating Canadian pizza". One of the kids turned around as he understood me and said something to his parents, whereupon the others looked in our directions and said, "è molto buono", with some of the older people giving us a thumbs up. I didn't know what they meant until I asked our guide later. Personally, we preferred the traditional dishes. We wanted to try the Porchetta, but it wasn't ready so we had carbonara with guanciale instead.
I love pineapple on a pepperoni pizza it adds that bit of sweet to offset the salty meats plus I feel like I am doing something healthy by eating pineapple on my pizza
I lived in italy for many years ,I'll take the liberty to add my two cents : Alot of this info is yes and no . Traditionally speaking and many years ago i would agree with Glada ,but so much has changed over the years till current times . Cappuccino drinking ; Yes its a morning drink and usually stops around 11 a.m., but they drink 15 expresso coffees threw out the day into the evening 😂🤪. Restaurant tipping: Everybody loves a tip , I always tipped and they immensely appreciate a tip . Food delivery: That's all we did last year on week days was order pizza delivery, pizza delivery is a common practice now . Weekends we go out. What else? Oh food on the run grab and go. In the city it's common to eat panninis ( sandwiches) on the go same with foccàcia ( mini pizza') on the go. Hawaiian pizza ; In italy they probably dont order ham and pineapple pizza but guess what i saw , pizza wirh cured ham and figs 😂😂 . That's there version of sweet and sour pizza . Basically italy has adopted alot of American customs, with the use of internet social media platforms face book , tic toc etc etc Italian traditions are becoming something of the past.
You can go to dinner as early as six even in Italy. The kids have to go to school the next morning in Italy too. You are right about the to go food. No such thing and therefore they don’t have mountains of garbage to dispose of.
A very famous Italian chef made the pineapple pizza and a lot of my Italian friends do enjoy it. Also it’s not a pineapple pizza it’s a Hawaiian pizza which means pineapples go with ham.
I have a huge problem with what I've seen here concerning espresso in the morning. In my experience, in any larger city in Italy you step in, que up to the bar, order your espresso with or without an additional item, mix your sugar if you want, drink it and have a bite and then you're on your way. Only the elderly and tourists sit and enjoy their cafe.
The saying that you don't drink a cappuccino after 11 am , has been said so often , that it has become truth ..it is not. No one will raise eyebrows here in Milan if you have a much later cappuccino....even in the afternoon .
2:54 this is how I know I’m Italian, I automatically want to use my left hand to scoop things as if bread is in that hand. My dad also does this 💀💀 3:48 every time someone says they like pineapple on pizza, I cringe so hard. This is Psychopathic behavior.
I’ve heard the no cappuccino thing many times before. I like cappuccino at any time of the day. I’m not that fussy about espresso …. The way I look at it is I am not Italian. I am on holiday. It’s obvious I’m a tourist when I’m there. I’m not interested in impressing anyone else while I am there. So, I will ask for cappuccino at 3 pm if that is what I want 🤷♀️
It's not accurate that they don't have food delivery in Italy. Unless I imagined all those DoorDash drivers on mopeds in Naples. The country is changing. They have Amazon now too. LOL.
Exactly. I don't know when she was in Italy last, but I've been there in recent times, and most sit down restaurants nowadays do expect a tip for a full meal service, not so much at cafés, maybe only a few cents that is left as change. And yes, takeout is common all across Europe too.
Don't put cheese on your pasta that contains fish such as pasta and shrimp, etc. Don't share your pizza. Don't expect stores to always be open and don't expect store to be closed for 20 minutes or an hour either. Don't order coffee with your meal. Don't wave your hand to hail a taxi.
@@Keyrose-my3xr thank you. And, as I thought. The north of Italy. French-Italians. Panettone-Italians. It explains why your italian friend from Italy adds cheese to a pasta dish with shellfish.
@pasqualinamichelaconsiglio9391 Mhm... i dont know why, but your reply felt a little condescending to Northern Italians. Both his parents moved together from the South to the North of Italy when he was little. So no, that isn't the reason at all.
The absolute only thing you have to remember when in Italy is when you cook pasta break in in half, that way it fits into the pot to boil and that way its not too long so you don't have to twirl it on a fork you can just eat it much easier. Any real Italian already knows this and will never tell you because they figure everyone is taught this since birth
Hi same in Germany eat the pizza with knife and fork my mom told me my son and I did not know how to eat no pineapple on pizza never not good no tip in Germany either many things the same ❤️♥️🥨🧸
9pm dinner? nope, more like between 7and 8. Cappuccino until 12-1pm at the latest, tips? round up if you're feeling generous and service was better than normal. She's a bit off with the advice
Ciao Giada vedo tutti questi video in cui dite che il Cappuccino non si prende dopo mezzogiorno io ho 45 anni nato e cresciuto a Roma nel 1996 con i compagni di classe andavamo alle 5 del pomeriggio in un bar zona prati per prendere un cappuccino tutto insieme non capisco da dove prendete questi stereotipi ho sempre bevuto il cappuccino al Pomeriggio nessuno si è offeso anche perche sarebbe una assurdità offendersi
She forgot salad after the secondi, not at the beginning of the meal. And never, ever, put cheese on fish. And an espresso and an anisette after dessert. And using a fork and spoon to twirl the pasta is acceptable.
having these upfront and personal YT videos than the fluff network videos is really great.
Giada just CHUCKED that cup. 😂
I picked it up right after, don't worry! 🤪
😂@@Giadzy
She has people who will take care of it. Tossed to emphasize a point
Growing up seeing Giada for the time with her cooking show. I dead ass thought she was an angel. So beautiful
eww
Miss that cooking show
I don’t find her attractive
Dead ass?

I’ve been to Italy twice. I can’t wait to go back!
Thank you Giada! I always love your videos. My daughter is 16 and I named her after you😊
Thank u melissa! Tell Giada hi ❤️

Love you so much! You have inspired me as a chef my entire adult life! 🙏🏼🤍

This is such a fun, informative video! Definitely needed this info before our Italy trip! Thanks Giada!❤
I am so glad it was useful!
Great vid Giada!! I really enjoyed it. ❤
Thank you! 😁
Having been stationed in Europe twice, did get to meet Italian soldiers, very nice people. 😊💫☀️
My experience there, too. Love Italy. I brought back these manners except tipping.
hey girl- love the video!😀😉 So interesting- thank u for sharing🥰
I always, always... Always look tge other person in the eye when talking or cheers-ing 🍾🥂 Saluti 💃
I’m 3rd generation Italian, my grandparents immigrated from Italy. But I could never eat a big meal at 9pm and sleep in late in the mornings. I’d be a wreck. Lol! I guess lunch in Italy will have to be my main meal.

In France, it’s the same. Dinner at 9pm
How I hope to need this someday!
Whenever I’m in Italy I have my espresso standing at the bar & usually eat lunch that way. It’s never more than 15 mins. 😅😂
Loved this video ✨💖🤌🏽
I am so glad you liked it!
So helpful, 🙂
I got takeout coffee last year in Rome with no problem. I hope no one comes after me.

For a first timer that goes to Italy which places would you suggest?
Love it. Great video

Do they sip their espresso? My experience has been that they down it like a shot.
In Italy now delivery is everywhere
A very famous Italian chef made the pineapple pizza and a lot of my Italian friends do enjoy it. Also it’s not a pineapple pizza it’s a Hawaiian pizza which means pineapples go with ham.
We are talking about going to Italy. What is best month to go? Where is the best place to go? What to avoid?

Yes, there is delivery. It’s not common but it does exist.
Giada you are soooo pretty. 😅
I'd like to see a video about what Europeans need to do when they come to america.. now that would be hilarious
Pizza should be folded and savored holding the melted cheese in place. And without pineapple. Sorry. I agree with your parents on that one. 🙂 RJ
Love your shirt ! The cleaning people at public restrooms that clean each stall after each use should also be tipped.
Just go and enjoy yourself. They're going to enjoy taking your tourist dollars. ;)

What about the rules on fish w/cheese.?
I have an Italian friend, an actual Italian who was born and raised in Italy that eats tuna pasta with cheese, so...🤷♀️
There is a lot of delivery actually!

Good to know leave no doubt thanks..pineapple on pizza is delicious 🍍🍕
I always use a knife and fork to eat my pizza. I was doing it right maybe I was Italian in my former life 😂
They eat late all over Europe and i don't get it. Doesn't anyone have to get up in the morning?
