I wanted to try a new stuffing recipe and chose this one. Everyone loved it! I bought the chestnuts (only bought one jar, but when I tasted them, I did not like the texture, so I did not add them. I bought the ciabatta bread three days before making the stuffing to let it get stale---worked perfect.

Absolutely excellent! Giada's recipes are always 'spot on' !! I will be making this my 'go to' stuffing recipe for many seasons to come. The flavor is awesome. I thought there was a little more prep time than usual but it was worth every chop and stir. I made it a day ahead but did not allow it to brown the first day. In the frig overnight and then a warm-up and brown right before serving. Delicious. I think that foccacia could work in this recipe - I had to use ciabatta rolls cause that was all I could find - I cut off the four-square ends and did not use those. It worked.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuffing. I doubled the recipe since I was feeding 15 people and the pan was empty by the end of dinner. Thank goodness I reserved some for us to have the next day. Everyone and I mean everyone kept telling me it was the best stuffing they ever had. It is the perfect combination of flavors & textures. The moist but chewy ciabatta, the earthy flavor of the chestnuts, and the wonderful smell & taste of fresh rosemary combined with the veggies. The only change I made was that I bought my Ciabatta 2 days before Thanksgiving. I cut it up laid it on a large baking sheet, uncovered, tossing once a day and it really dried out which made for excellent stuffing. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! The cheapest place to find roasted, peeled chestnuts if Cost Plus, I got a 14.7 ounce jar for only $9.99.

This was the first time I made this stuffing. Wow my family loved it. The Pancetta, Rosemary and the combination of Ciabatta bread gave this dish such a distinct flavor. Thank you Giada for sharing your family's recipe. My sisters asked for the recipe many times.

It was a hit at my house! This was my first time making it, and this was one of the first recipes I've decided to use off of this website! Thanks a million! It was worth it!

Comes out perfectly browned and moist. Just the right amount of rosemary flavor for me. The parmesan and egg is a great addition.
I used fresh, roasted chestnuts and omitted the pancetta. I also used rosemary focaccia instead of ciabatta.

Have made this recipe multiple times and is a hit every time. I also add sun dried tomatoes and marinated artichoke hearts to the recipe. Also have substituted focaccia bread which adds extra flavor especially if is herbed bread.

This is great stuffing recipe. I made it last year and my family loved it!! Everyone requested it again. : I have a wholesale bakery and have encouraged others to use the ciabatta bread for their stuffing. Thank you Giada for a fantastic recipe.
