Join Rossella Rago, Patrick O’Boyle and John M. Viola, co-hosts of “The Italian American Podcast”, as they hit the road to visit the US city with the highest percentage of Italian Americans… New Haven, Connecticut!
In this episode, the trio heads north to celebrate Pat’s birthday in search of his #1 bucket-list pastry… a St. Joseph’s Day Zeppole from Lucibello’s Italian Pastry Shop. But, before they can make their way to the famed pasticceria, they’re on a pilgrimage to see a few of New Haven’s premier Italian American sights… and to try the the city’s unique “apizza” in Wooster Square… New Haven’s own Little Italy!
“Greetings From Italian America ” is presented as a joint project of The Italian American Podcast and The Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA), one of the nation’s most important organizations for Americans of Italian descent. Each month, we’ll explore the people, places, and peculiarities of the Italian side of America, bringing the heart of the Italian American experience to 25 million Italian Americans, and to the wider world… delivering history, discussion, examination, and connections with smarts, heart, and a lot of laughs!
