Top 10 Most Commonly Mispelled Italian Food Words
1. Sfogliatelle (sfo-lyi-uh-tel-ay) — You need to pronounce the “ay” at the end of the word.
2. Bruschetta (brew-sket-uh) — Yes, that’s a hard “ch” and this one is mispronounced often.
3. Cannoli (kah-nol-ee) — There’s no “g” in this word and the “i” at the end is pronounced “ee.”
4. Gnocchi (nyo-kee) — The “g” is actually silent here.
5. Ciabatta (Cha-bah- ttah) — my favourite mispelt word in Italian
6. Manicotti (man-ee-cot-tee) — It’s not “man-i-got.” I promise.
7. Sopressata (so-pray-sot-uh) — I know that Tony Soprano didn’t pronounce the “uh” and I liked him, too, but he was wrong.
8. Espresso (s-press-oh) — There’s no “x” in this word.
9. Tiramisù (tee-rah-mee-su) — Most people pronounce it fine, but they butcher the spelling.
10. Ricotta (ree-coat-uh) — It’s not pronounced “ree-got.” Tony Soprano – he was also wrong.
