Pls stop to use the Mandolino when you show Milano! N
I born in Milano and in 60 years I never seen a Mandolino! It's popular only in the south of Italy!
Bar Basso!!!!
Da provare MOGAMO
Seems that Americans do not have anything in their country hahaha I just want to remind that millions of Italians move to other countries cos they do not have jobs and their underpaid 😂😂😂
Mandolino it's not Italy!! Only Naples
Stop that mandolino, please, it's not Milanese
It's hard work that someone has to do. 😉🤣 Enjoy our specialties, I hope you have a good time because happiness in the eyes is what best rewards those who dedicate themselves with care to their guests. 😊❤
Ragazzi aggiornate la colonna sonora!!!!
He says "these are delicious" to everything! Or "those look delicious".LOL
Italy is and incredible charming country.. come visit us.. You'll love it <3
Saluteeee.
It's not aperitivo if there's nothing to nibble; and eating something is just the excuse to drink something! 😅
They have not yet understood that the mandolin has little to do with northern Italy, and yes this is Italian-American… or almost.
I didn't knew Giada could speak real italian
Ma a gente che metterà Milano in Europa volete spiegare del mandolino?😂😂il Jamiaica dagli intellettuali e artisti del '900 alle mandrie di oggi
Basta mandolini, ca**o!! 😡
L’Italia NON è Napoli! Questa musica di mandolini non c’entra assolutamente nulla con l’Italia, in particolare con quella del nord.
Eh che ca**o!!!
You have no idea how much annoyance you cause when you use ridiculous and anachronistic music to describe something Italian.
Using the mandolin when talking about Milan and Venice is so out of place…
Man I was terrified Americans would call Negroni "Big N-word" 😅
To all my ignorant (and most likely racist, the two things go hand in hand) compatriots who complain about the mandolin music as not being typical of Northern Italy I wish to remind that, amongst several others, Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi composed three concerts for mandolin!
Anyway all those that complain do they propose any alternative: of course not!
So mandolin is an Italian instrument that represents Italy, all of Italy, unless you are an uncultured, ignorant, racist that talks out of his… trombone!
Why this mandolino?
No "mandolino" please!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's like the ultimate babe of a date to run around with having a fun happy hour in Italy, or pretty much anywhere else, JUST SAYING
Take just the Spritz, the other ones are good but too much expensive…
PFM better, Frank Di Cioccio.
Naples, is in italy, so , mandolin is italian, stop with discrimination
put a mandolin in all italian related video is such a stereotip flag
the mandolino is not Italian. STOP IT. E BASTA
Smettetela con questo stereotipo del mandolino… l'Italia è molto di più!
ma che ci azzecca il mandolino…ma dai
please stop putting sound track from the south of italy. big thanks
E comunque a 2:45 erano già un tantino ciucchi andati 😂
I am italian and i've never seen a mandolino all my life
To people protesting for mandolin in Milan: Mandolin was heavily diffused for 5 centuries in Lombardy and Milan was one of the cities most associated to mandolin until 1800s. That's because mandolin was prevalent in Valtellina. When in Italy the mandolin was associated with immigrants from Southern Italy, Lombardy for the shame cancelled its mandolin culture. Calm down, there is nothing wrong in the mandolin and it has been part of Lombardy history for centuries.
