Antonia Gorga Came Home from College with *This* One Request for Melissa Gorga (PICS)

Antonia Gorga recently came home for a brief visit during her sophomore year of college from the University of Delaware. While hanging out at home with her parents, Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga, she made one request: her mom's delicious pasta. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

"Look who's home!" Melissa began in an October 28 Instagram Story video of herself hanging out in their home kitchen. "Guess what she's requesting? Tagliatelle pasta! Her favorite. Happy Sunday, everyone!" 

The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom then shared a photo of the finished product: a delicious mix of tagliatelle pasta, peas, and ham. "Sunday Funday," Melissa wrote over the scrumptious-looking photo.

Though Antonia is missing her mom's home cooking, she's been trying to replicate some of those delicious Italian-style dishes while away at school

In an October 23 Instagram Story, Melissa re-shared a photo from her daughter who revealed how she was cooking for herself in college. 

"She did so good!!" Melissa gushed over the photo from her daughter, which showed how she made one of her mom's delicious dishes. 

"Copied mommy's chicken cutlets," Antonia wrote over her photo, tagging her mom and revealing a yummy meal of a breaded chicken cutlet, roasted potatoes, and salad with croutons.

How Joe Gorga is staying connected to Antonia Gorga while she's away at college 

Antonia's dad, Joe, is missing his 20-year-old daughter just as much as Melissa. 

Last week, the New Jersey dad took to his Instagram Stories to reveal he had been watching old episodes of RHONJ which featured moments with him and his kids, including Antonia. 

 "I miss this," Joe wrote over the sweet screenshots from the show, also noting, "I miss her."

Antonia reflected on the moment herself, re-sharing her dad's post to her own Stories.

Though the RHONJ parents continue to miss their daughter, in late September they traveled to the University of Delaware for Parent's Weekend to visit. 

"He thinks he's ready to keg stand," Melissa joked of her husband as the pair picked up some doughnuts with Antonia. "It's not happening. We're gonna act like civil adults."

"It is happening," Joe retorted. "All the frats are fighting over me."

In addition to parties, the couple toured Antonia's apartment, made some repairs, and restocked her refrigerator. They also hung out with other U of Delaware families and students while getting in some much-needed quality time with their daughter.
