Esquire magazine food critic John Mariani (right) recently produced a slide show for Esquire.com highlighting the best and worst cooking shows on TV.
Ciao Italia with Mary Ann Esposito was rated one of the BEST.

It’s been a long and happy road I’ve traveled with Mary Ann, first as her producer and now as her executive producer, to help her bring you authentic regional Italian recipes that you can prepare at home.
During the past nineteen years, Mary Ann has prepared over one thousand fabulous recipes for you in her television kitchen and on the road, both in Italy and the United States. Each and every one them is available right here for you on our website.
But what really makes me happy is that with our new video streaming feature, you can watch Mary Ann prepare your favorite recipe when you want her to, not when she happens to be on television. You can see a sample of it here.
Think about it; no more digging through your public television program guide trying to find out what time Ciao Italia’s on. No more adjusting your busy schedule to a broadcast schedule. With a premium membership on our website, you’re in charge of how and when you want to enjoy Ciao Italia.
Which makes both Mary Ann and me very happy. After all, when you go to the trouble to cook a great meal, it’s no fun if the company can’t make it.
Now you can.
And thanks to our plan to post each and every one of Mary Ann’s video recipes from her programs going all the way back to 1990, you will not only enjoy recipes from our most recent season, but you will enjoy eighteen previous seasons’ worth of mouthwatering, authentic regional Italian recipes. That’s a lot of recipes.
And speaking of 24/7, we’re also happy to have our Nella Cucina Online Community still going strong on our new website. It’s a great place to share your recipes, stories, and adventures with folks who have the same love of Italian food as you.
Night and day, seven days a week. Mary Ann’s Ciao Italia “kitchen” is always open.
Come on in!
