I've never been this early before.
Anyways, I hope to try this one day!
Biggest lemons I've ever seen
Your background music gives off desperate boomer energy
I'd definitely try them. We have so many taco trucks here in the US folks would like to try a food not commonly found here.
Eks tuleb Tallinnast lennuki peale astuda ja seda asja Itaaliasse nautima minna.
Oh I'm gonna have so much fun!
Hate the music in your videos.
It looks delicious and handy to take out and enjoy! Rice, seafoods, veggies, there are all ingredients! I would love to try it!😆🌷
啊! 我了解這個,因為在台灣的街邊,另一種炸物攤-鹹酥雞-也非常類似,而且選擇更多….。
What's with this stupid background music?? It's unbelievable! 🤦🏻♂️ Since you're in Naples, you could at least play some Neapolitan music in the background.
Omg I want to try this! What's the name of this place?

Mmmhm a school of fish
I am thinking the food is fried bugs. It sure looks like it.
The "I'm this food" narration choice is incredibly cringey
The breaded fish sounds great.
If I ever get to Naples, it will be on my to do list, looks fantastic
I ❤ street food
