The Ten Commandments of the Italian American Household

In this episode of Bada Bing Bayou, we lay down the law—Italian style. From never showing up empty-handed to knowing that Nonna’s word is gospel, we break down the unspoken rules that govern every Italian American home. Equal parts tradition, superstition, and love, these commandments shaped our childhoods and still guide us today. Light a candle, pour some espresso, and get ready to laugh, nod, and maybe call your mother.
