TV shows with Italian food
The Sopranos Food — Gabagool, Pork Stores and Sunday Dinner
The Sopranos made Italian-American New Jersey food culture famous, from Satriale's pork store to 'gabagool' (capicola) and family dinners.
Food runs through the show: deli meats like capicola, pronounced 'gabagool' in regional slang, meetings at Satriale's pork store, and big family dinners. It's a reference point for New Jersey Italian-American food.
The food
- Capicola (gabagool)
- Baked ziti
- Sausage and peppers
Larry says: “A whole show about a guy who hangs out at a pork store. Finally, television about me.”
