Boring
🌟 Thank you Jo loved it 11/10 🤌
The fact that I've been watching Jo through ads about pimsular(the language app) and now she works for National Geographic shows you that petting time and resilience in your passion and will eventually get you what you want
😮😮😮😮 teasty, awsome,nice
This was such an enjoyable watch! Jo is a dynamic host and I'll be sat for the next one
This show is getting me so hungry! Love how you immersed yourself in the Italian culture and even made Michelin star pasta, truly an incredible experience!
chill
MISS LONDON'S LITTLE ITALY ALREADY! <3 Thanks for watching!! And thanks Nat Geo for taking me to these wholesome pockets in the world
The host comes off as inauthentic. They could have used a better one.
love it
In italy, we would NEVER eat pasta with a steak or a fried piece of chicken. Pasta is pasta, pasta is the primo piatto, meat or fish are the secondo piatto. Pasta with a chicken whatever is WRONG.
Jo! Omg! I used to watch Damon & Jo to learn French! I'm so happy to see you're hosting a travel show!!!!!
I appreciate this video because I always assumed when people referred to a "little ___" or a "___town" it had to all be within one specific area of a city. Finding out how spread out Little Italy is in London is mind boggling. My favorite part of the episode has to be the Lunch Club. It'd be cool to get to dine there one day.
Nice
Wonderful job, Jo!!
Jo brings the connection, culture, and good energy once again (and wherever she goes)! Yummm
So goooood! I’m so proud of you Jo❤
My favorite part is when the lady at E Pellicci's yelled at you for trying to eat the new pesto dish! 😂
My first time watching the host Jo.
I thought she was Brilliant
I have been to most of the venues, not all unfortunately.
Great Video
Jo Franco is a gem. I'n disappointed in myself I was not aware of her sooner. Please give her more assigments.
یاد آهنگ زیبای اکسپرس از بانو سابرینا کارپنتر افتادم.
Love a good scavenger hunt. And when it's food, alcohol, and dancing is at the end it's WAY better. We're headed to London later this year and will definitely be stopping at some of these spots!
A chef of an "Italian" Michelin's star restaurant that eat fantasy tagliatelle with fork and spoon ? No way, c'mon !!
Black girl came out at “I didn’t say take the whole thing!” I love it. 🥰 You’re so authentic and fun!! 😊 congrats on your National Geographic win – 🏆 watch out for our generation’s Anthony Bourdain.
Perfect ❤❤❤
Delicious 😋 🍽️ 😊
Great episode 🙂 Jo is an amazing host 🧡
Jo!!! I love this!!!!
She needs a nice Italian tough guy to settle down with..aye..salute 🇮🇹🙌🏼🇺🇸🤣✌🏼
Hey National Geographic, upload more videos of Tigers, Elephants, and Lions, those are good and I like them, and please keep the old outro in, don't change the outro, I miss the old outro.
The lunch club made me feel emotional, people need people!!
Great episode again 🙂 love everything Jo does :p
