I love you show. It reminds me of home. As a kid my mom always watched your show on saturday afternoons. Also, its nice to see southern italian cooking done RIGHT. I moved to Seattle and have yet to find italian cooking out here thats true southern italian, so I prefer to cook myself. Much more common out east. Wish youd come visit here!

Before the days of the Food Network, the Giada's, & the Mario Batalli's... there was Mary Ann Esposito! - Nobody else comes close to her in Italian cooking and her teaching skills in doing so.. the 'old way'.

I have watched Ciao Italia since when I was a young teen, & Mary Ann is the best!

The videos attached to each recipe here is a wonderful addition.

What you're saying...

My grandma and grandpa were from Italy and I miss the cooking. When I watch your show it brings me home again.

Hello!!
Let me tell you just how much my family loved your recipe"Whole Wheat Penne with Meat Sauce".
The sauce was so rich, I was astonished at the flavor. Thanks again for such a great dish.

JUST LIKE GRANDMA USED TO MAKE, BRAVO!!!!

We loved Eggs in Purgatory. I think you are the bomb! I love watching your show on PBS and looking up your recipes online. THANK YOU

I have been watching you for years Mary Ann, and my husband any I admire you as a very hard working lady, and we always say I would eat that because you know if Mary Ann made it, it's good.

The amazing Mary Ann has done it again! Easy, always delicious and reminiscent of family times eating together, enjoying the food and each other. It doesn't get any better than that!

I grew-up watching my mother watch your show, and now I watch it! I enjoy when you speak of your family traditions and recipes. I come from a Spanish Catholic Family of 11 not counting my parents! So Mary Ann, very much like you; Family,Food and Tradition went hand in hand. My Favorite food to eat is not Spanish Food, it is Italian Food! My Brother's & Sisters love me to cook spaghetti with both sausages and meatballs! Thank You for all you do!

Hi Mary Ann. OMG!Your Pistachio Dusted Pork Chops were to die for! We loved them, they were a big hit, and they are definitely worth repeating. My husband thought he wouldn't like the pears & dried apricots but they were d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! His 88 yr old father, who is originally from Nicolosi, thought that I served him too much but he cleaned up his plate! Love you, love your show, love your spunk and no nonsense, professional approach to cooking. Thank you for teaching us about Italy and giving us so many wonderful cooking tips!
