🇮🇹🎬 LA FESTA ITALIANA IS ON GROWING UP ITALIAN! 🎬🇮🇹
What better way to celebrate 50 YEARS of La Festa Italiana than to have the GrowingUpItalian crew come to Scranton and experience it for themselves?!
Episode 042 takes us to Northeastern Pennsylvania, where Italian heritage runs deep, the food is legendary, and the traditions are still going strong.

We’re in Pennsylvania to find some Italians!

Financial Frank invites us out to the NEPA area to experience La Festa Italiana, some good eats and what he (and many others) call “The Pizza Capital of the World.” This area is famous for Old Forge style pizza, which dates back over 100 years, when local Italian immigrants served up lunch to hungry coal mine workers.

We hit a local favorite, Mia Via in Luzerne - which is a new/old school Italian restaurant that is serving good times, creative dishes and a unique Brooklyn inspired pizza and then head on over to Scranton to see how they do their feast! Come with and get LOST IN THE SAUCE!
