Surprised I haven’t seen a post on this. Whose looking forward to this ? We sure are. For one reason he’s a tremendous talent and have high hopes for the quality of the show. He’ll be visiting 20 regions of Italy with a focus on highlighting the regional cuisine.
Italy is first up for us when we can travel so we’re really looking forward to some fun trip planning and cooking while we wait. First show is Sunday at 9pm on CNN
I caught the first episode a few days ago - it’s available on CNN’s on-demand service. It was mostly based in Florence and was something of a scene-setter, establishing his father’s working in Italy when Tucci was a child as the inspiration for his return. It was a little glossy at times but with some entertaining vignettes. I think the show will be fun as he moves on to some of the less celebrated regions. It’s been ten years since I’ve been able to travel to Italy and I miss it more with each passing year.
For those that missed the first episode, they are rebroadcasting it at 11pm EST this Saturday (Feb. 20). New episodes continue Sundays at 9pm EST. Set those PVRs …

I don’t believe it’s being streamed anywhere accessible to us in Canada.
