In this debut episode, Giuseppe D’Amelio of D’Amelio’s Italian Eatery in Waterbury, Connecticut, invites us into the kitchen for a true Italian culinary experience rooted in three core principles: Simplicity, Regionality, and Mediterranean Flair.
This week’s menu features:
🥖 Traditional Italian bread from a local bakery with roots in Arthur Avenue, Bronx
🌱 Seasonal ramps sautéed with homemade Italian sausage, white beans, garlic, olive oil, and long hots
🍤 Paqueti Soprano – jumbo rigatoni tossed with shrimp, spinach, sundried tomatoes, prosciutto, and a creamy Parmigiano Reggiano sauce
🍗 Pollo Natalina – breaded chicken breast topped with fig jam, prosciutto, arugula salad, goat cheese, and balsamic glaze
🍰 Homemade Pistachio Cheesecake – Giuseppe’s newest passion and a customer favorite
Along the way, Giuseppe shares stories about family traditions, sourcing local ingredients, seasonal cooking, and the inspiration behind some of D’Amelio’s most popular dishes. From foraging ramps to creating signature menu items, this episode is packed with authentic Italian flavors and plenty of laughs.

If anyone should have their own cooking show, it's Joey. So many great food dishes that he serves at the restaurant. I enjoyed dining with this master chef and his family for 35 years that I lived in Waterbury, and I still make my way back there when I come back to visit.
