Generations Of Food And Coffee Love

Season 7 Episode 704 | 27m 28s

Italian immigrants came to America in search of a better life. Their hard work paved the way for the lives we live, hopefully in gratitude for all they did, including the blessing of espresso. In Christina’s view, the greatest coffee in the world is in Naples, but there’s a spot in Philly that burns bright with its love of Italy. Christina samples delicious coffee and food from Philly and Naples.
