Were mini meatballs a thing in your house? 🇮🇹

Fried mini meatballs with just a little grated cheese on top. Takes me right back to my grandmother’s kitchen, and my mother still makes them to this day.

We’d pick on them throughout the day while the sauce cooked waiting for dinner. And, of course, we’d always tear off a little piece of bread to dunk in the sauce.

Did your family do this too? What were your Sunday dinner traditions? 👇

Another NYCWFF weekend in the books, and this was a special one!

We brought a taste of Gargiulo’s to Taste of Italy, with my whole family and so many friends coming out to support. Having everyone there made the night even more special, and getting to meet one of my all time favorite chefs, Alex Guarnaschelli, was definitely a highlight!

A huge thank you to Lee Schrager and the entire NYCWFF team for another incredible festival!

I also teamed up with Maker’s Mark and the New York Knicks to bring the desserts all weekend long, from Knicks cannoli to rainbow cookies and bourbon cake pops. Such an incredible partnership to be part of! 🟠🔵

My favorite weekend of the year, and I’m so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Already looking forward to next year. Andiamo! 🇮🇹

We’re TWO WEEKS away from one of my favorite weekends of the year!

Looking back at some of my favorite memories from NYCWFF over the years. Incredible food, great friends, unforgettable moments and a whole lot of amazing food along the way.

I’ve been lucky enough to be part of the festival the past few years, and there’s just something special about NYCWFF. Bringing together so many talented chefs, restaurants and people who love food as much as we do makes it one of those weekends I look forward to every single year.

Join me and Gargiulo’s on Saturday, October 17 for Taste of Italy presented by Campari, hosted by Alex Guarnaschelli!

We’ll be serving up a little taste of Coney Island alongside some of New York City’s best Italian restaurants. Can’t wait to see everyone there!

Something you probably didn’t know about me: I was an intern on The Chew 📺🍏

It was truly one of the greatest experiences of my career and a time I have such fond memories of. Getting to be behind the scenes, learning from some incredible people and seeing firsthand how food and television came together was an experience I’ll never forget.

It’s pretty cool to look back on that chapter now and even better to see Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall and Michael Symon back together again on Chewed Up! 🍏

Andre and I got into this story and a whole lot more during my conversation on Chef’s PSA Podcast.

Andiamo! 🇮🇹
