Pull up a chair! This week on Spilling the Gravy, we’re diving into what it’s really like growing up in an Italian family. From sacred Sunday dinners and unspoken food rules to loud conversations and cultural expectations, we’re sharing our personal stories, generational quirks, and all the little things that make Italian family life so unique (and sometimes chaotic).

Plus, we unpack the biggest surprises from our recent trip to Italy — including the food culture shock that made us rethink everything we thought we knew about being Italian-American.

🎯 Topics we cover:

The “Italian Family Starter Pack”

Why Sunday dinner is non-negotiable

What gets you banned from the table 🍝❌

How Italy changed the way we see our roots 🇮🇹

🎧 Whether you're Italian or just Italian-adjacent, this episode will make you laugh, nod along, and maybe even call your nonna.
