Summary
In this episode, we sit down with Ivan — the King of Gnocchi and founder of Gnocchi On The Go — to hear the story behind one of the most talked-about Italian comfort foods around. Born and raised in Sicily, Italy, Ivan moved to Brooklyn, New York at just 11 years old, bringing with him the traditions, flavors, and work ethic that would later shape his journey. He shares how his gnocchi quickly became a fan favorite, what inspired him to start his business, and why authenticity still matters today. We also take a trip down memory lane talking about the moments that shaped us growing up Italian-American, and for the first time, Frank & Marco even jump into speaking Sicilian dialect, showing how we keep our culture alive through language, food, and stories. This episode is all about -heritage -hustle -family traditions and the power of staying true to your roots If you love Italian culture, food stories, and real conversations — this one’s for you.
