Viral ‘Pasta Queen’ Nadia Caterina Munno reveals the cardinal sins of Italian American cooking — and her favorite NYC spots
NY Post
If you ever get the opportunity to dine with the viral Pasta Queen Nadia Caterina Munno, don’t even think about ordering a cocktail with your meal.
“Wine goes with dinner,” she proclaimed during a visit to Patsy’s Italian Restaurant in Midtown. “Cocktails are always for aperitivo beforehand, and then to sip if you go out dancing after.”
Such morsels of wisdom have, along her mouth-watering, authentic Italian recipes, earned the Lazio-born Munno a viral audience of millions of followers — including the likes of Kylie Jenner and Drew Barrymore — and turned her into a best-selling author with 2022’s “A Just Gorgeous Italian Cookbook.”
Now, the Florida transplant is expanding her empire with a newly released second book, “The Pasta Queen: The Art of Italian Cooking,” and a self-titled series on Amazon’s Prime Video which combines cooking tutorials and travelogs from around Italy.
“I’m so proud of the show because we really worked hard to make it match my personality,” Munno told The Post of the fast-paced Amazon series, which counts Reese Witherspoon as an executive producer.
“It’s like what you see on my socials, but is a more expansive view of my mind and everything that I love.”
