    • Synopsis
    • Welcome to Italian America...
      Where we find the foods that we have come to
      love here in America and research their immigrant journey and origins, and how they became these renowned favorites all over the US… but are they the same as where we all thought they originated?
      Cuisine always speaks to the culture of a place …why do these people eat this food, prepared this way, using these ingredients!
      Between 1880 and 1921, approximately 4.2
      million Italians came to America hose immigrants, no longer separated by region, were put into the same tenements and neighborhoods, isolated to themselves and labelled as one group… Italians.
      From there, their uniquely regional cuisines
      combined; they helped each other locate ingredients and substitutes, they survived and thrived
      This is the story of how the food they brought
      with them became what we know it to be today. But did it really come from Italy? And what even is authentic Italian-American food?
      Welcome to Italian America.
