    I heard she said something along the lines of “I’m not Italian”,but I think she probably meant that she wasn’t Italian-Italian…more like Italian American(if that makes any sense).
    I could be wrong.

    She’s half greek half italian. It said on her twitter that her mother is greek and her dad is italian. Its there if you keep scrolling down.

    If you watch the 3rd episosde(i think) of the first season, when her and mike are working @ the shop, she is wearing a t-shirt that says 50% latina and 50% italian – just an observation I made, I could be wrong.

    I don’t think this is right. During the World Cup, she tweeted that she was supporting the nations she came from “Greece, Usa and of course-Italy” is what she said. So I’m pretty sure she’s Greek too.
