Keeping It Italian with Tara Cannistraci

What happens when two proud Italian funny gals sit down at the same table? A conversation filled with laughter, family stories, unforgettable accents, and a whole lot of heart. This week on At The Table, Candice welcomes fellow comedian Tara Cannistraci for an honest conversation about building careers by embracing exactly who they are. From growing up in loud Italian families to turning everyday traditions into comedy, they discuss why authenticity has become their greatest creative superpower.

Comedy, Culture & Why Red Sauce Always Wins with Gianmarco Soresi

This week on Italian Bred: At The Table, I'm joined by comedian Gianmarco Soresi for a hilarious conversation about family, identity, and the stories that shape us. We dive into what it means to be a self-proclaimed "pizza bagel"—half Italian, half Jewish—growing up between two cultures and in a divorced household. Gianmarco shares some of the most outrageous things his family has said around the holiday dinner table, why he's a red sauce guy through and through, and how those chaotic family moments became comedy gold. Plus, we geek out over theater, with Gianmarco making the case for why Nine is one of the greatest musicals ever written. It's a funny, heartfelt conversation about food, family, Broadway, and finding humor in the beautifully dysfunctional people who raise us. 🍝 Pull up a chair—you're officially At The Table.
