I'm Ollie.

And we are here to try some of the best Italian food in New York.

Let's do this.

Hey guys, welcome to Marini.

Wow.

Thank you.

So we'll start you off with...

This is my kind of welcome.

It's very traditional start this way, where we have some sliced meats, mortodella, prosciutto,

and we also have some parmesan, a little bit of a blue.

This place looks incredibly legit.

And this is how you know that it's perfect Italian-American food.

One location is here in Manhattan.

One's in New Jersey and one's in Long Island.

This is where the Italians live.

One of my favourite things about Italian meals is that it's several meals in one.

This is lunch right here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're just getting started.

It's the beginning.

Yeah, that's so true.

We're just getting started.

That's so true.

In England, you come to an Italian restaurant.

You order a pasta and that's your meal.

You and I just dove in before there were even plates.

Yeah, what do we need plates for?

What are these for?

I was so desperate.

Little bit of lardo on here, this is just whipped pork fat.

Wow.

Mixed with pesto.

And pancetta.

Wow, look at that.

While you're munching on that, you have to have some mio cofrito too when you come here.
