Lets face it… As Italian-Americans, we wouldn’t be able to survive without certain things in our life!
On Facebook, we asked our social media followers to comment “One thing an Italian can’t live without.” We were overwhelmed with hilarious responses! I compiled a list of the top answers. So here are the top 18 things Italians can’t live without, submitted by the Hardcore Italians Family!

1. Parmesan
If you can eat an entire cheese wheel in one sitting… Chances are you’re Italian…
