GrowingUpItalian
Step into the heart of Brooklyn and right into the lively Italian home of the Growing Up Italian trio—Rocco, Sabino, and Michela! These three first-generation Italians are serving up laughs, love, and lots of culture straight from Williamsburg. They started this podcast to bring the Italian community together, celebrate their roots, and keep the traditions alive—from Nonna’s recipes to classic family debates. Each Sunday, they’re dropping a brand new episode packed with fresh takes on the Italian lifestyle, featuring hilarious stories, real talk, and special guests from all corners of the Italian world. Whether you’re sipping espresso or stuck in traffic, you’re officially invited to the table. Mangia, laugh, and stay connected—because being Italian is more than just a culture, it’s a vibe.
