Louis Calvelli, executive director of Casa Belvedere, an Italian cultural foundation, said he's never seen the show. From what I've heard, it undoubtedly portrays Staten Island in a negative light, as well as portrays Italian-American women in a negative light," he said. "What I am most happy with is that I have control over the remote."
But Ms. Graziano said most of the feedback she has received from family and friends has been positive.
"I'm not so concerned about this being a negative thing for Staten Island, If we did this somewhere else, it would be a negative somewhere else."
