Most arranged marriages I know are still married probably not happy but they stay together 🤷🏼♂️
She’s most likely dealing with the cumara.. that’s y she’s saying it… her husband is loaded that’s y she’s dealing with it.

Sabino doesn’t want anyone touchin his communion money!!! 😅😅😅
She can’t even make sense of what she’s saying.. nothing matches up
By sabino… what make u think prime wants u?!? How u rate urself 1-10 ?!?
Sabino … Marone .. cresce nu par e pall!!!!
Rita is a breath of fresh air love her and I follow her on TikTok it was a fantastic podcast 🥂🇨🇦
Stupid way to think sorry…..stick to cooking.
She's really annoying…sorry…her voice….gives me a headache 😢😢
They are not more modern than USA
This broad Rita is cute and funny 🤌🏻
OMG! I love Rita! You guys are the best!
this mew gemeratiom sucks
God bless you Rita, love to watch your video’s. Your personality is adorable and your recipes are a go to when I don’t know what to cook. My husband was born in Puglia and is the biggest pain in the ass when it comes to food and your recipes are always well received. So happy I found you. By the way I’m 70 and my husband is 73 and you remind us of that time of our lives when are kids were still home.
Really enjoyed Rita 💖
Her voice….my god.. nails on a chalkboard is more soothing to hear.
Right off the bat, she missed with the the sidepiece opinion. Men don't respect other guys who cheat… In my opinion
Rita knows the unspoken rules. Good job! The bald guy is worried about PC image on camera.
The kidnapping thing was totally true in some places until early 80s I'd say
The obnoxiuos Bint dosen't have a clue. Wholewheat pasta helps keep sugar levels in check and is good for the liver.
it goes without saying that if you eat huge amounts of pasta , even if it's wholemeal , it's going to be detremental to your health.
She doesn’t even know what she’s saying. So obnoxious.
I was reading the Queens Chronicle , dated Thursday September 19, 2024 Page 26 … and the article was about RITA PRISCO the same lady in this GUI video. I just wanted to let the audience know a few things that weren't mentioned. Rita has three girls who are triplets and they're all teachers: Ariana, Francesca, and Simona. It was one of her girls who helped her publish her cookbook entitled, "Cucina Palermo: My Homemade Cookbook". If you love Sicilian recipes, check this book out. Also mentioned was a store I hadn't heard of … Made in Eatalia in Glendale. Judging from the pics online, this place might be worth a visit. Thanks for reading my comments everybody. I'm always trying to spread good news and inform. 👍
Hilarious when Sabine said there’s no single girls in Italy and Rita said “he has 24 hrs”! 😂
Why does Rita have to scream all the time? It's annoying, and don't say because she's Sicilian, I'm Sicilian and no Sicilians I know speak this way. Tone it down please, lady.
I"m only here for Mario. No Mario… No watch.
I love this interview!❤
I grew up with a dad who cheated and I hated it! He was never home for dinner or holidays!! My mom stayed with him but the fighting and arguing was over the top!! I wish he would have left!!
My marriage was arranged & my beloved husband became the love of my life!
We were married for 47 incredibly years together, we had two beautiful daughters and our beloved son,who passed away at age 6yrs from leukaemia, we went through the good,the bad & the ugly…To this day, my Daughters who are 47yrs and 30yrs always tell everyone that their father always treated me like a queen & treated them like princesses,my son would would be 42yrs old next Friday & he would have been treated like a prince…my daughter wasn't as blessed as I was with her two partners, although we have been blessed with two amazing grandsons 20yrs & 17yrs old who we absolutely love & adore…The only advice I give them, is, I pray you all find a partner even half as amazing as your father & grandfather I would be so incredibly happy because I know you will be loved & respected as you deserve, and this is my wish in life, arranged marriages really do work,when you find the right person…I always say a special prayer for my Godmother who was so persistent to get my husband & I together, as i had recently broken up with my ex, possessive fiance, I was truly blessed 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
He went to far when he cheated on his wife Rita. Woman who cheat on their husband's are no good. I'm Italian American I was raised decent. My mother never took her wedding band off after my father passed away. They don't make mo s like that anymore. OLD SCHOOL
When Rita said she wants to forget ridgewood! Hahahaha. I grew up in ridgewood. I hear you loud and clear Rita 🤦♂️
I just came back from Sicily and they serve Antipasto first, then primo piati, insalada, then secondi piati, espresso and dessert. You guys are hilarious. Listening to how we are is a bit twisted lol By the way, Sicilians are the best 😉🤘
Ooooo maron ima spaghetti meatball fagioli OOOOOOO
