According to Tucci, food in Italy is much more than just sustenance—it’s deeply connected to memories, who people are, and can even spark lively debates. This season, the show will delve into how Italy’s history influences its present, focusing on each region and a remarkable meal within it. Tucci is excited to share these compelling stories and introduce the fascinating people behind them.

Season 2 of the show follows Tucci as he explores new parts of Italy, including Le Marche. This central, coastal region, located on the Adriatic Sea, is known for its delicious food, which hasn’t yet become popular with many international visitors.

He highlights a little-known grape variety in Campania and Naples, and playfully explores the heated discussion about where tiramisu truly originated in the Veneto region.

Stanley travels to both Sardinia and Sicily, two islands with unique food cultures. In Sardinia, he investigates how diet might contribute to a long life, while in Sicily, he discovers how the island’s diverse history has shaped its flavorful cuisine.
