🍷 Get Your Valentine’s Day Bundle Here!: https://yt.franzesewine.com/
💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/
For this Valentine’s Day special I’m back in the kitchen cooking one of my wife’s favorite dishes: real Italian‑style fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, the way we enjoy it at home. While the pasta’s boiling, I’m telling the story of how we met on a movie set in 1983, why she stood me up the first time, and how a mob guy ended up married to the same woman for 40 years.
We talk about how to recognize a good woman, red flags that tell you she’s not the one, and why being a man means protecting, providing, and showing her she’s special—on Valentine’s Day and every other day. I also share why I believe men should cook for their wives once in a while, what really keeps the spark alive after decades together, and answer questions from my school about mistakes men make in relationships and how I knew Cami was the one.
If you want to steal this Valentine’s idea—fettuccine, roses, chocolates, and a good bottle of wine—I promise it’s an offer she can’t refuse.

Id like to see this guy as governor of California
The women today not wanting a man until they're in their 40's are the same women who get mad when they can't have a child when they meet the right guy because they're too old at that point.
My ex-wife and I got married when she was 42. She decides she wants a baby, so we went to work, which I was happy to do my part. ;)😊
I already had two children from my previous marriage, so I knew I wouldn't be firing blanks at 50.
Anyway, she couldn't conceive, so the doc said "you too have to kick the consumating into overdrive. So, again, I obliged.
I'm eating oysters, slamming vitamin E, and whatever else I had to do to increase our chances.
I tell yeah, Mike, after doing the horizontal bop 865 times in 10 months, well, I'm suffering hip tremors and firing dust. I was hiding in the closet because I thought if I did it anymore my shmootz would end up looking like a Yahtzee pencil. 865 times! C'mon!
Long story short, she was too old to conceive, I ended up blowing out my hip, and I suffered PTSD from the conjugation madness.
We ended up divorced after she went sideways from the anger of not being able to conceive.
Congrats to you and Camille on 42 years! That's a major deal. I wish you two another 42 years! Cin Don!
Oh, I ordered the wine bundle. I can't wait to try it.
Uncle Vinny
Love the advice in this it's great also the food looks amazing I absolutely love shrimp!
Its not hard to understand, I get it, normal common sense people get it. I agree with what you're saying. It's just not enough people talk openly about it.
Pasta looks so good its falling off the bone
Gee this is the last time i watch one of your videos with my girl you made me look bad mikey 😅
Awesome 👏… your the best.. quick question I did try to order some wine but It seems like they don't ship to Canada.?
You can tell that after the eating out, whining and dining after a year or two,!then you get married and all of a sudden she is in the kitchen cooking and brings you a TV Dinner 😆
If I could afford it, but I can’t… my 1st Place will absolutely be going to ITALY 🇮🇹 😋
Michael I live in Ky and when going in any Liquor Store, I always ask if they have the Franzese Wine. None have it, so I guess it’s not in my State Yet
When can we in the uk try these wines love your channel and life story please start shipping to the uk thanks michael if you see this comment
Didn’t the pasta get cold after all that time?
Love the recipes and I am going to make this dish. I love your wines too. Just wish the bottles were bigger. Can’t get enough of it lol. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Cammy.❤️

Dear Maga false Christian Charlatans,
So you hate, shun, imprison, and murder foreigners just looking for a helping hand?
Then your blasphemous heart doesn't obey God's commands, only Satans.
-Leviticus 19:33-34,
(33 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.)
My friends,
We will all be foreigners one day as we try to cross over into the Kingdom of Heaven and the mercy you meet at it's border will be no different than the mercy you've shown from your loveless heart towards others.
Your very own mercy will be handed right back to you so you can instantly recognize it
and blame no one else but yourself for endless ions of regret thinking why couldn't I have simply chosen love over hate? Well now it's too late, you've prepared your plate, welcome home your tortured fate as you are allowed entrance through Hell's blackened Gate with no line and no wait.

You are a gentleman
Sei un gentiluomo
Nice!
What’s your views on latest OC shorts vid Michael
You are a fine gentleman Michael❤️
Italian food is the best hands down.
Solid platform.
Michael told her he was a union delegate! 😅
I love to cook… can't wait to try your recipe.
It was 40 yrs in December for my husband and I. Similar story, sort of. Jesus changed our lives! Peace to you and Camille, congrats on 40yrs too!
Great segment of special cooking and sound advice.
I wanna see Michael go on cooking with volk 😅
Quick question, is the shrimp thawed? Thank you ❤
As a schooled cook from Germany I promise you need more salt in your pasta water not for not sticken the pasta together but for taste you never get inside your pasta after cooking trust me Michael
Love shrimp Alfedoyand Italian food is great! I love it..
That looks goooood who would've thought an ex mafia man could be a good chef? 😂
Am I a made man if it made my day to see a new cooking video? Thanks for the great content.
I Love you Michael 💝 Always a great msg for men who need to step up and learn how to treat women. I cook with garlic all the time, it's in our blood. You brought tears to my eyes. The simple gestures to show appreciation goes a long way. My father (may he rest in peace) was a man's man always concerned about my mom & the family. Happy Valentine's Day to you Cami. Ciao !!!!
Watch your shows all the way from South Africa – Love the show – Wine Bottles are exquisite – thoroughly enjoy your intellect and motivation
My hubby said he took one look at me and knew instantly he was going to marry me someday. I, however, did not like him. Man, did I put him thru it too, very much like your story haha
We are happily married almost 20 yrs now so yeah, he got the girl. 😂
And I love the authentic alfredo and not these crap recipes that add extra ingredients that take away from the flavor. Another friend of mine made it with cream cheese and ton of garlic. It was awful!
My childhood best friend was Sicilian and boy do I miss that cookin! I learned alot from her Mother and Grandmother. I refuse to go to any italian restaurant bc I know I will be disappointed so I make my own, including the pasta. Unless its italian owned and operated.
Ex mafia boss cooking us these delicious cuisines. Love how open he is. I can see the shit in his eyes though. A real woman knows ❤. Your past is your past. No Judgement here.
This is so sweet Mike, to demonstrate to all men, how it's done!
Bellissimo!💝💝💝
Paulie had a great system for the garlic and Vinny used to may onions I thought
I will admit I do not like fettuccine Alfredo I do not like cream in any form of cooking including soup So I almost did not watch this Despite the fact that I really really like your cooking And I've already tried a couple dishes and really enjoyed them made a few mistakes but they were still delicious. That actually looks good I did not know you could do Alfredo without heavy cream I will seriously consider making this. Thank you Mr franzese
This is one of my favorites
❤❤ EXCELLENT, Michael 💕🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love the Ferrero Rocher chocolates! Thanks for upload. God bless you guys! Happy Early Valentines day everyone. And the "If the step mother is praying for you" and then a pause as you thought about it made me die laughing !
I LOVE these cooking videos. And Michael, with all due respect…after a couple of relationships, one living together and the second one married but divorced at age 45, I am now 61 and I can share with you that I do not need a "man" to live a fulfilled life. Marriage is not a "one size fits all"…The married life does not match some of us 😉
What’s your opinion of eggplant parm?
loove the cooksessions ❤❤ you are so authentic and lovely😊 mille grazie 💙 mzch love to you and your family from Germany
The state of the world is insane. You don't need to be a bad man for people to want you dead nowadays.
At least you managed to provide a good life for a family and there ain't nothing more respectable about a man than that.
Also I'd appreciate you showing us how to make a pizza. I've been buying frozen Margheritas and just adding stuff to it because I can't seem to get it right.
