The series follows Stanley Tucci (2021-2022) as he journeys across Italy to discover the stories behind its most iconic and lesser-known dishes. From Tuscany’s rustic meals to Sicily’s bold flavors, each episode focuses on a specific region’s culinary traditions. Tucci examines how geography, history, migration, and social change shape local food culture. More than a cooking show, it is a cultural exploration that highlights Italy’s resilience, diversity, and passion for food. With elegant narration and authentic conversations, the series connects meals to memory, identity, and national pride. Its thoughtful storytelling made it one of CNN’s most loved travel documentaries.
