Porchetta sandwiches. Pork cutlets. Gnocchi. Pasta. Zucchini and ricotta. Name it and you'll find it on Aziz Ansari's Instagram feed. 

While Aziz Ansari's comic timing is well-known, little do people know that he is a die-hard foodie. 

According to Time magazine, 'With celebrity chefs like David Chang among his friends, a lesson in Italian cooking with Mario Batali under his belt and countless posts of 'food porn' dotting his Instagram, Ansari has established himself as a food connoisseur -- just don't call him a foodie.'

Still not convinced? Then it's time you take a look at some of his food pics when he traveled to Italy for his Netflix show, Master of None

The first season was about New York's food scenes, while the second season saw him travelling to Italy.

Enjoy :)
