Fun show. A bit out of our price range but you never know…

QOTD: Carl says pizza. I am a Fettuccine alfredo fan.

First show that I watched with my kids. Amanda (9) and Andrew (7) both showed great interest. Andrew especially loved the Escargot comment, as that is his favorite food. He also said many times how you are a touch “freaky”….cinammon toast crunch threw them over the edge.

QOTD:

Andrew (7) Pizza
Amanda (9) Pasta
Me (slightly older) Seafood Fra Diavolo

Keep up the good work.

Good to have you back, Gary.

QOTD: That is such a tough one. I love a good risotto, never turn down a fresh caprese salad or carpaccio, but I think I’d have to go with a simple prosciutto sandwich. Actually wait, the speck (smoked proscuitto) pizza at Pizzeria Mozza almost made me explode, so I’ll vote for that.

Welcome back GV. Another great show.

QOTD: Costolette di Vitello Capricciosa (Veal Milanese)

QOTD: Pasta Pasta Pasta and a simple marinara sauce. Lots of garlic and basil. Another great show Gary! Thanks

Good to have you back, GV. I enjoyed the Washington episodes, but I love the ‘original’ format after a few episode away(that’s just the kind of guy I am).

QTOD: This is extremely tough! Penne a la carbonara is fantastic, and anything with sundried tomatoes is kick ass. But the winner is… Abruzzi Style pizza!!!

I Love the nebbiolo.

QOTD: Tomatoes (Pomodori). Italian food as we know it wouldn’t exist without them.

Great episode Gary! Still haven’t had a Barolo….Stromboli is my favorite Italian food…..Herm

Great show, love the Italians for both the wine and the food. Last Barolo I had was a 2001 Pio Cesare, it was really nice, but it definitely needed more time in the bottle. I think many need at least 10 years.

QOTD: My homemade Osso Buco, it melts in your mouth.

Wow….great show. I love to see some Barolo action comming onto the show. It’d be nice to see you do a tasting of one young Barolo and one older (10+) Barolo from the same producer….

QOTD: Gnocci – I fell in LOVE with this in a small restaurant in Korea (I know, I know…hold your laughs.) called “La Tavola” but it is still something I love to try when getting out to a quality Italian restaurant that or Fra Diavlo

Great episode to start a new week!
QOTD- I pretty much like all italian food so I am going to say lasagna, it has a little of everything in it.

the shows in washuigton with the audience were nice. Not a fan of young barolo. far too tannic generally. You Should taste some 10-20 yr old barolo.
QOTD— i love all italian food

Great episode!

QOTD: Probably Gnocchi (fine dining) or Pizza (I’m too lazy and/or Godfather is on marathon again and I don’t want to cook/go out)

PS there was some sort of background noise; it sounded like Mott was swishing wine around! T or F?

You have made me so excited to try some Barolo’s this weekend. I cant wait to see the next show….Paola from Los Angeles

ravioli, cheese, wine

sausage. pasta, creamy rich sauces. fennel, fennel, fennel…
fat girl food. jyeah!

QOTD: I love a good Caprese salad.

QOTD: How about starting with clams oreganato, moving on to osso bucco, and finishing with sfogliatelle pastries? Yeah, that works.
Now if we could get Furio Giunta to take care of the freakin’ annoying clown with the noisy shutter, we’d really be talking.

Great episode GV. QOTD: Bolognese all day long!

Hey Gary

Thanks for the show

QOTD: All of it … game … cheese … salami … risotto … seafood … gnocchi … vino …all of it

QOTD: Veal piccata with fetticini alfredo yummy and chicken caccitore really good stuff.
