Lidia Bastianich is returning to PBS with her new Lidia Celebrates America special next month. She has been a staple on the network since her first show, Lidia’s Italian Table, premiered in 1998.
Before Lidia became a fixture on television, she was married to her husband, Felice “Felix” Bastianich, for more than 30 years. During their relationship, the couple owned two restaurants in Queens, as well as their famous Manhattan restaurant, Felidia.
