In this video you’ll live a typical day in the life of my mom: a restaurant owner in the city of Padova, Italy. My mom’s biggest passion is cooking and owning these restaurants is her dream come true. She LOVES her job.
The first restaurant is a cafeteria and we bought it more than 10 years ago. It’s only open at lunch, Monday to Friday. But because it is so spacious, we use it to host private events on the weekends.These events are always organized by Moldovan / Romanian people as my mom is from Moldova (country in Eastern Europe) and she has a lot of connections in the Moldovan / Romanian community of our city.
The second restaurant we bought recently, about 2 years ago, and it is a typical restaurant where you order from a menu. The price range for a dish goes from 10 to 25 euros.
To clarify, in my previous videos I would refer to these businesses as “my parent’s restaurants” because we consider it a family business and my dad is involved in it too, but "on paper" my mom is the actual owner.
Also, this video was filmed in May. I wasn’t gonna post it because my mom reads all of my comments and there’s always some rude people online. However she seemed more disappointment by the fact that I didn’t post it, so here it is!
Please be kind and I will delete any offensive comments.
[about me]
Hi my name is Rosie, I'm 26 and my life is a bit confusing so i'm writing this lol.
To make it easy:
- I was born in Northern Italy, in the region of Veneto
- My whole family still lives there (mom, dad and my little sister Marty)
- I moved to Toronto, Canada, at 19 all alone to ✨find myself✨ (spoiler: it didn't work, i got more lost if anything).
So, I live half my life in Italy and half my life in Canada.
Also, my mom is from Moldova (country in Eastern Europe) and my dad is from Calabria (region in Southern Italy) and both my grandmas still live there. So you’ll occasionally see me going there as well.
I hope this clears things up a bit.. or maybe makes them more confusing lol.
I don’t know, i tried 😄

My goodness your mom works so hard. She is incredible honestly.
She works hard because she is from my country, Moldova. I am proud for her and her family.
Moms are so cool
Women who work hard, make me hard.
I said the same ! She works a lot , she doesn't have time for anything else , her life are restaurans ! Now I can see how hard it is ! Super video 🎉
Right!!! So many things she does in a day🙏
The fact that she works extra hard to let her employees go home early says a lot about her. Your mom is one of a kind, so hardworking doing chores non-stop throughout the day and cooking. She really deserves everything and much more. I'm very happy she got her dream job. And everything seemed delicious! Not everyone shows this side of working in catering/restaurants in youtube, excellent video!
Moldavians. They are hard working.
Yes that was the most amazing part.
i'd tell her mom to not forget to rest or employ more people for other simpler tasks. Burnout is serious especially as a chef. And being the main protagonist of 3 restaurants is a massive reponsability on her shoulders. Something simple might paying someone family or employee to do the groceries. Because chef alone is hardcore during shifts, having to spend extra hours EVERY day to buy tons of food, loading them in your car and putting in the frige is a lot .
Lol when the owner comes to do dishes it means everyone else needs to either finish up or get off the clock 😂
this lady is the definition of a BOSS. like what the hell. this makes me feel all the excuses myself and others make are nothing. she runs two businesses and catering. shops for the ingredients herself and still serves the food. cooks meals for the family in the restaurant and spends time with her loved ones. and keeps her restaurants clean. truly a boss.
Stop comparing yourself to her . We are all different people
Impressive Boss.20+ years in the business..she is a dynamo.Motivated!Respect!
@@almondkissed3794ppop😊op
Stop confusing hard work with passion
@@jake-qn3tlhard work & passion go hand in hand. Literally is why she’s able to do all that she does & doing it well.
The scene where your family all went to the fruit bar and sat together with some watermelon melted my heart. Your parents work so hard and yet, even though they must be absolutely exhausted, they still dedicate time to being together as a family, enjoying some fruit. That's true love right there.
Your mum does SO much. What an incredible woman.
I have seen plenty of "a day in the life" videos.. Her mama is most definitely the busiest one i have seen. It's like at least 3 peoples job rolled into one. Amazing.
@@rb2043 literally normally u would have some to make the coffee and have some to buy the groceries and have some to do the dishes but she does it herself while managing
Incredible! May God keep her healthy and strong ! ❤
@@rb2043 except it's not amazing to overwork yourself to that point, it either means she can't let go of some control and delegate, or she doesn't have staff that she can trust to support her in the ways she needs in order to not be doing so many roles. I'm not trying to be disrespectful as she is clearly extremely hard working & dedicated, but we need to stop normalising and praising overworking.
@@jaque-le-granddubua3814 amen!!
The multi-tasking skills is on ANOTHER level. She is so hardworking
I will never complain about being tired again or say there isn't enough time. You're mama is superwoman and her food looks fantastic!!!
Your mum needs her own official cookbook! I would love to try so many of the recipes!
If her mom made a cookbook, I would buy it!
I've worked in, and designed restaurants for a living. Even with the high tempo at which your mom works, she doesn't cut corners and her food looks great. She is a real working chef. It would be great to see another day of hers-she is exciting to watch.
They dont' cut corners in Europe. Only in America where the food is shitty.
@@blacklightfreakout825 What a weird take.
Her mom is a dynamic high-energy chef. Amazing!
@@b-l1969 Its true though. Fast food here is trash and extremely unhealthy. Absolute trash.
Why would you compare this to fast food?
I am literal AWE right now. How can one person do so much...she is such an inspiration. I could be wrong but it looks like she is very fulfilled doing the work that she does, otherwise it's so hard to maintain this amount of grit for long enough. Thank you Rosie for giving us a tiny glimpse of what it means to be in the food service industry!
True 😊
I’m crying simply because I’ve never seen a restaurant in America where I live with such amazing and fresh food. Like she actually is making it all hand made and it just looks so good.
U.S. is processed food inc.
Are you seriously crying
Where do you live?!
Just go to the right places ! My uncle has a restaurant in the italian street in NY and believe everything is cooked and made by hand, just like you see in this video!
America is massive. Stop generalizing vs tiny little countries
The scale of your moms industrial restaurant kitchen and business is INSANE ! The fact she was doing it alone and keeping that size of customer turnover rate 200 happily fed. I’m in absolute awe of your family and also my dream. Many blessings to your family
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I AM EXHAUSTED JUST WATCHING HER... SHE DOES IN ONE DAY WHAT I WOULD DO IN A WEEK... AMAZING!!!!
Me too
@JC well some people are just made different and thrive under pressure and high pace environment
@JC I think dhe enjoys cooking, so thats pays for it , and they earn a lot of money
@JC well said and I totally agree with you but some people are just build different and also you can get ill while being the most rested and healthy person
@@neo69121 bro she (mom) had a stroke, watch her other videos. It''s not a healthy lifestyle
Your mum is a machine non-stop. That's impressive. I hope she gets to relax sometimes she deserves it
Your mom is a super woman ! Did she ever get tired ? The energy the passion omg one of the best women I’ve ever seen . She just keeps on moving ! She deserves a good holiday !
Your parents work so hard. Your mom's energy is amazing.
Pls make this into a series, she’s so inspiring
Yes please
I agree
Seriously. As someone who wants to own a cafe one day this kind of opened my eyes 😅
Yes please
i know I would watch video after video of her just doing the same thing every day haha
Your mother might be the hardest working person I’ve ever seen! All her food looks so delicious and fresh. The desserts! The gelato! Heavenly. And she does the dishes too, what a humble beautiful person. This was so interesting to watch.
When you said your mum is Moldovan everything made sense. Such hearty and hardworking people ❤️
Wow . She deserves an award 🥇 . So hard working . And she has such a difficult job but it shows that she is enjoying and knows exactly how to manage . Bravo to her .
I've been a chef for thirty years. I know the business very well ,and your mom is an amazing chef! This is just two days in the life. A lot of people don't understand all of the years of dedication and hard work It takes to become this good. Thank you for the video. 👌👍
woah thats a long time ur very hardworking ✝️☮️
@@ashleighmackenzie8670 what a disrespectful and degrading question. she owns both restaurants. She's the head chef. not hard to understand. The cooks would be the other people in the kitchen working under her. the creator of this channel stated several times in this video and in others that she owns these restaurants and that the actual cooks frequently call her for help. Dozens to hundreds of people are commenting that they are chefs, cooks, work in restaurants, and praising the mother for her hard work and skill as a chef, and yet you still make this comment to degrade her craft. So weird.
@@myioui218 I think she’s asking the commenter, not Rosie’s mom.
@@beagruy2386 shes asking the commenter ABOUT rosie's mom "as here in the UK this lovely lady would definitely be a cook rather than chef" shes actually not even asking. shes setting up a statement pretending shes asking in a nice way. shes already made it up in her mind that the mom is not a chef.
@@ashleighmackenzie8670 Can you stop commenting on people praising her? Are you aware of how much hard work goes into this? “She’s a cook!!” You have no idea what qualifications or quality she produces, and it’s very weird behaviour that you’re so irritated by it. You’ve commented on two different comments that are praising her, trying to pull her down.
hello, rosie! your mum is definitely a superwoman. she seemed to be good at everything, from coffee to baking to desserts to main dishes, which is incredible.she is so energetic and passionate about her business and works so hard. owning and running 2 restaurants must be very stressful and messy but she seemed so calm. and after a long day, she still had the mood to make desserts for herself and family. if i were her, i would be too tired to do anything. i admire her very much.
Incredible❤️
that was the words, a Superwoman.
we are all amazed by her hardwork we stan a hardworking queen!🙌👑
The world needs more people like your Mom. She is amazing.
Your mom is incredible. She works so hard and not just the physical activity, but the fact that she is doing all the thinking and planning for each menu. It's insane! More power to her!
I can't even do 10% of what your mom does a single day...Hardworking, Strong lady... Mind blowing... Hope she get enough rest everyday.. Stay healthy Mom.
Your mama is an absolute legend! Such a good idea filming her day and presenting her like the boss she is :)
Your mother is freaking amazing! One woman show! And the food the food looks amazing! I love your videos. You show everything…. How life in Italy feels every day in a normal day. The food, the people, the grocery store, the streets every aspect. It says if we are truly walking down the streets and shopping with you and tasting the food. I can’t get enough.
It's hard not to love and adore your mama! ❤❤❤
She does all that and then you hit us with the "she went to gelato school". She's a master at her craft and yet she still continues to pursue new skills and improve herself. Simply amazing. That is how you know someone is passionate.
why am I getting emotional?? My mom is Vietnamese and we live in Germany. When I was a little kid, my mom always had to work 2-3 different jobs until night. My dad mostly wasn't there for us, so my mom had to raise me by herself. She worked so hard, she never had the chance to take time for herself. Watching this, made me feel so grateful and proud of all the strong, hard working and independent women out there! YOUR MOM IS A BADASS. PERIODT. Thank you so much for sharing
wow thanks to your mom that always been there for u She's so hardworking! May god bless her🥰
@@aswjkld.9932 Aww feels like a warm hug, thank you so much for your kind words❤ May god bless you too!
Mum's are the best!😁❤
Sorry that it was so hard😢. We are blessed to have your mom and your entire family. I am so very proud of all my fellow Germans who were not born German❤. I have some in my family as well. Together we will make a great nation.
She looks like super human.. she do everything, and she didn't even look tired for the whole day. Her passion of food is amaizing..
Can I say: your mum is such a beautiful and hardworking woman. My mum doesn't have a restaurant yet but she does catering. I'm so proud of our hardworking mamas. Just watching her lift and carry such heavy things remind me of my mum as well.
Your mom is a champion. She works so hard... where does she get that energy from ? Bless her
Espresso
I have the utmost respect for your mother! The restaurant business is really tough, especially as a self-employed person. She is a hard working, diligent, strong woman. Hopefully she doesn't overwork and stays mentally and physically stable. Kisses to your mother🥰
Your mom certainly looks like she enjoys running both restaurants. What an incredible family you have! Everybody works together and helps however they can. Thank you for offering a glimpse of Moldovian food.
Your mom is so hardworking lady, many teens and adults should get inspiration from her,,, so much respect to ger
this video motivates me more than any other motivators/motivation gurus videos. Other 'productive videos' don't have the same effect as this video. Kudos to your mom! She's truly a hard working woman and she clearly loves on what she does.
Yes it is very motivating isn't it? No words, just pure action.
This woman is extremely hardworking.. she’s been on her feet from morning to late at night! Truly inspiring
I don't think people realise how much work it takes to run your own restaurant or bakery business, especially if you are preparing the food and running the business yourself. Honestly it looks like back breaking incredibly exhausting work. Big thumbs up to whomever can do it.
Your mom is a rockstar in the kitchen! Owning a restaurant is such hard work. It's never ending and the profit is small. I really admire her work ethic and her talent!
Rosie’s mom, if you’re reading this, you are amazing! It’s wonderful that you’re able to do something that you truly love ❤️
More videos of your mom please
I don't know who would dare to make a mean comment about this video. As an immigrant I know firsthand that it's not easy to thrive in a different country and culture, but women like your mom are such an inspiration! Huge lady boss energy, so hardworking and so pretty!
She is a very high-energy and non-stop worker for sure.💯👍
Wow, my respect to your MOM and your Dad and your uncle Giuseppe. You have a wonderful hard working family you should be proud of. Love your videos!
A good example of a real world female entrepreneur. She really works hard and non stop working without getting tired. I think she choose her passion as her business. Thats the key for her success. Wish her good health, long life and good business...
She's a legend, She's an icon, and she is THE moment
💯
👑💯
I really hope your mom gets some rest. She does a lot!! I've worked in restaurants & most get all their food supplies delivered. That would save a lot of time. She's legit a Boss Queen. Catering, 2 restaurants, feeding her family...incredible.
I wondered this too! But I think her mom does it by hand to make sure it’s always fresh and to get the deals (hence the daily changing menu). A lot more work for sure! But definitely creates better food
@@internethugs , one important thing that slips from you is the fact that her clients are simple workers who will not pay extra so the owner has to save money by doing the shopping at discount offers and saving on delivery.
@@mrbasfed1948 well nah because she gets certain stuff delivered like her sausages or meats or fish. Sometimes it's more efficient to go a store where everything you need is there than deal with different suppliers who don't always have everything you need in one place. Plus she might prefer doing the shopping herself. I've done catering too, it was just too inefficient dealing with different suppliers.
@@internethugs When you order food to be delivered from a supermarket in Europe about 90% of the time something that you have ordered is not available and usually replaced with something that you don't want. Which is why it is best just to get the food yourself in person.
She is from another world! The passion, hard work , perfection and speed is mind blowing to say the least. Thank you so much to introducing her to us. May God bless her with all the health and happiness. what’s admirable is though it looks machine like, she has her creativity in deciding the menu and the desserts! It’s not machine. It’s made with love and thought! blessed are those who get to taste her food. If i ever go to Italy, I am going to visit your mom and her restaurant. Such an inspiration !
Your mom is a true G
Please translate this to your mom, I have never seen a single person manage so many aspects of not one, but TWO restaurants. She's truly admirable and so hard-working I am just overwhelmed by watching her take on all these tasks. What an amazing woman! Would love to see her being featured in a documentary about restaurants / chefs.
Your mum is the real MVP, let her know that. Mad respect. I wish I could go to Italy right now so I could eat all of the food that your mum cooks.
i live in Padova so I could go but she is not sharing the name of the restaurants so i cant try their delicious food:((
@@barbart_ I don't feel comfortable sharing the name of the restaurants for security/privacy reasons, sorry :(
@@rosiemaio understandable.
@@rosiemaio Good choice!
I'm watching this from Romania and I must say your mother is an amazing woman, I cannot believe how much dedication and energy she has daily. Respect mamei tale și îi doresc o viață lungă și multă sănătate!❤ ( you're a wonderful person, I really enjoy your videos)
It’s such a blessed to have a supermom like your mom 💪
WOW! Just WOW! No words to describe her dedication to her supporting her family and building a comfortable life in future for them all.
What a hardworking women her mom is..
Your mother does all the work she’s lifting and doing everything. What is your dad do that’s a whole Lotta work for this woman my goodness she does so very well but your dad should be helping out.
My God! God Bless your Mothers heart!!I hope she has a good spirit and energy for a long time,plus a good Helth!!!
love how hands-on your mother is in her businesses. most owners just watch their employees work. some don't even show up regularly.
crazy how she's the only person working in the kitchen churning out food. she really needs someone to continue the business.
Your mom is super woman! Never seen anyone work so hard as her! Amazing energy she has!
You all should be very proud of your hardworking mother ❤
This is probably the 3rd time I'm watching this video. I love getting inspiration from your mom.
I’m a business owner as well. I worked 13 hours the day before I gave birth to my daughter. Honestly, watching your mother, I feel lazy. 😀 She is so strong and resilient.
thats amazing too though! Women are seriously so incredible. Making life in your body while working a full job
@@Nonyah123 Thank you! ❤️
wht do u do
Exactly. I work full time at my career job and run my business in the evenings and it's hard work but this woman makes me feel exhausted. Well done to you and her. Love to see kickass women 😁
oh my god, the kitchen is huge and clean ! 👍your mom is truly a super woman and i have a lot of respect for her thank you so much for sharing. I enjoyed it very much
Your mum is an absolute BEAST! Her love, care and dedication to all aspects of her life is absolutely mind boggling. She’s amazing ❤
Wow, your mom is amazing! She is the true representation of a superwoman...Bravo 👏👏
I worked in restaurants during college in the States. I have never seen a restaurant owner wear this many hats!! Running, menu planning, cooking, shopping, serving..goodness!! She should delegate some tasks and enjoy some rest! :) I’m so impressed!!
She would. But she know telephone would ring 100 times so she rather do it by herself. Employees are not that devoted. They work because they hsve to. Most of them.
Love that you are showing beautiful people like your Mom, she works so hard and her food looks amazing. Having such passion for cooking is inspiring. Thank you for this Rosie.
You can commend one woman without bringing down the next
@@pavinenyangao8056 you are absolutely right and I should have thought twice about my comment. I chose to edit it because I think it was important to not hurt anyone. Have a blessed day and thank you.
@@mariascomfortcucina5165 That was a nice response. You rarely see this on KZhead or socials lol
@@mariascomfortcucina5165 You’re a kind soul ♥️ have a blessed week too
Wow, truly amazed at your mom. She is the poster child for all immigrant parents who work so hard to provide for their families. She's a 💎 and she's teaching you so many valuable lessons. Those private events are so important, celebrating and cultivating ones culture, while feeding your stomach and soul. Truly heartwarming.
only for immigrant parents ? lol
That's amazing. It's hard to cope with just one restaurant and they run two.I thought teaching/operating a high school restaurant program was hard, but not now!! My grandparents (and my mom's aunts and uncles on my mother's side) moved to both Canada and Australia from Treviso after WW1, so I love videos about Italy (especially northern), the lifestyle, and the cooking.
The contrast between your mom and dad is so cute. Your mom is almost everywhere, rushing to get things done while your dad is just chilling and working on one task at a time. Very encouraging to see such hard working people.
women are statistically better at multi-tasking
@@degoma4006 no they are not man perform better in jobs with things while woman in jobs involved with people
@@revenant4635 women are better at multitasking in general but in work and in families
I'm never complaining about being tired ever again. this is PHENOMENAL WORK. oh my. your mom deserves at least a 2 year paid vacation from all this hard work.
you dont understand.. this is her passion and you are passionate about something it doesnt feel like work
@@daprince001x5exactly! 😭
I don't know how your mom does it! I was exhausted just watching her. She is built different than most. Seeing her at the end of each night also cooking for the family and making desserts after the restaurant is finally closed...my god. I am extremely humbled by her hustle. Your mother is one special person.
Your mom is beyond amazing! please treasure her in every possible way. She is a rare star.
The dishes she cooks and bakes are hard to do. How did she even squeeze making Mango Gelato after cooking for 2 restaurants on top of all that she does and doing it all over again? She is truly amazing!
She has a huge knowledge of many complex dishes and how she remembers each of them is incredible.
@@blessall8856 please document those dishes and the nuances of cooking them. We are losing so much more than just recipes when lot of us are not cooking like our mother or their previous generations!
@@madhurijoshi2311Not all of us. My mom doesn't Cook too much. I Cook a lot more, and my son and daughter a lor more than me when I was a kid.
@@ashleighmackenzie8670 Congrats on being a low-life hater! She is a chef handling not one but TWO restaurants and training her staff in a professional environment. I know jealous people like you got nothing great to say in life but it's not too late to change and be kinder. Goodluck, weirdo!
She’s gonna get sick..TOU can’t keep it up for too long
I hope she has relaxing days where she can unwind, too! Everyone needs that balance, even a wonder woman like your mum
Your mother is amazing, and when cooking she really seems to be in her element.
You're mom is a superstar! You have a precious mom who works so hard. She is such a good example to you. There is so much for you to learn and help her! You are so blessed to have her.
It’s genuinely so impressive how hard she works.
Can we just appreciate her efforts she is putting in her vlogs for us.💕☺️💫
1 year ago video. Thanks to your mom. Loved!
Your mom is a pure artist. Bless her.
Hey Rosie, your mom is such a gem and reminds me of my own. I would suggest you to put the names of her restaurants and addresses here so if one happens to visit Italy, we can pay a visit and tell her - how awesome her daughter and the whole family is :) Thank You for normalizing life on KZhead and being so relatable. I am an Indian and there is so much of a similar vibe in Indian families and Italian families. You and your entire family are so down to earth, hardworking, grounded and real. It is beautiful! :)
No wonder your family eats so well in the other videos. Food is your family's passion! Thanks for sharing your mom's hard work.
In awe of your mom. I hope she hires more help. I’m genuinely concerned for her health. The amount of work she does everyday is unreal.
Your mom is a rockstar! Omg! She needs a full month of vacation of spa and massage. I can never do that! She is amazing!!!
I have NEVER seen anyone work as hard as your mom! She is amazing! If I ever come to Italy, I would love to come to your moms restaurants.
I worked in a restaurant for 10 years and I can say your mom is a machine! That takes passion and dedication to do what she does every day. Wow
Your mom it’s da best! I wish I could become likes her because I m waiter on my own restaurant too❤
Your mom is amazing. I love watching days and weeks in her life.
The range of skills your mom has is insane !
Never realized how much time and effort goes into owning a restaurant. Happy to see your mother doing what she loves. I love your videos, they are so authentic💗
Oh this is the tip.of the iceberg My experience says,
@@samthunders3611 yup true. But trult amazing of her mom to do lots of that works herself
Your mom has such a light about her that you know she loves what she does! What an amazing and hardworking woman!
Everyone's own a supermom! Agree?🙋♀️
Your mom needs her own show ASAP! It was fun to watch
Mum need own KZhead channel about food and recipes, I would watch every day ❤️
She’s such a hard worker. Your mom is amazing!
Your dad is a super lucky man! ❤ i wish i have a mother like yours ❤
When parents hustle hardcore to better the lives of their family, as the child I would make sure I do my best to make sure their efforts in helping me aren’t in vain! What a woman 💪 ❤️ God bless her 🙏
Your mom is a literal definition of Girl Boss. What a hard working woman!
Watching your mom working already made me dizzy for how much works she done. Huge respect and admiration for her.
Your mom is amazing! She is a creative and efficient chef. You’re so blessed to have her, your dad, uncle - all your family.❤😊
