  1. wait hold up .. how is this the last episode already ….. we want more . loved this episode. enjoyed the series. thank you for sharing all these pockets of italian tummy love in the places visited.

  2. I loved this episode! I just went to the pizza shop Castelões earlier this week. It was delicious! How interesting to find a Little Italy in Brazil!

  3. Giuliano Orlando, the best guide in SP and Jô Franco, I didn't know her and I already love her. What a great episode to watch. With this cold weather… I already want my pizza with a crust stuffed with catupiry ❤

  4. By the way: Catupity is the brand of the first Brazilian cream cheese. The product cream cheese itself they call requeijão.

  5. This was so good. Love the tone and energy of the show – definitely made me want to visit Brazil! The term "Inbetweener" is perfect as it puts a name to my heritage and experience (Guyana, London, NYC). Thanks for a great show.

  6. Giuliano is always the Best guide ever in San Paolo 💪 with great professionalism and passion he can give you lots of interesting information on everything 🔝👏

  7. I love this show and love Jo as a host. This is also my favorite episode, Jo’s “inbetweeness” is shining here and adding so much value.

    I can’t wait for more episodes!

  8. Jo! Your energy brightened up my day! The world needs more wholesome and quality content like this! Grazie Natgeo

  9. My husband is from São Paulo and this brought tears to his eyes! He loves to make mortadella sandwiches for us!

  10. 明るくてポジティブなマインドが伝わってくるから好きなシリーズ

  11. Eating Italian food in Brazil ?
    Yeah well, good luck with that and tell us how you all got mugged etc

  12. I really loved this series… There definitely should be more ! Now I want to go to São Paulo 😀

  13. Jo acts very weird when she is on a paycheck working for a large corporation, as opposed to doing her own thing that we all loved in the past.

  14. I'm an american and I have tried all of these things in Sao Paulo. It is really mid. Actually, the brazilian pizza is just flat out bad. The best thing about brazil is really the fresh french bread. Its hard to get here. Some vietnamese bakeries are around that you can get it at though. Also for anyone that does not know, mortadella just tastes like bologna in the us but the better quality. Still the same flavor and if you grew up eating as a poor person in the US that ate it a lot, it does not hit the same as it does for them in brazil I am sure.
