Tucci in Italy

Episode 2

Lombardy

In Lombardy, he explores Italy’s industrial engine through a culinary lens—tasting futuristic farm-to-table menus, investigating one of the world’s most expensive ingredients, and dining at a rest stop that’s anything but average.

Episode 3

Trentino-Alto Adige

Trentino-Alto Adige takes Tucci into new territory: skiing down Alpine slopes, fly fishing glacial rivers, and eating slope-side polenta in a region where Italian and German identities blend in the kitchen.

Episode 4

Abruzzo

Abruzzo is rugged and surprising. It’s Tucci’s first time there, and he leans into the wildness—grilling mutton in sheep country, sharing Sunday lunch with a French twist, and tracing the sugary roots of Italy’s iconic confetti almonds.

Episode 5

Lazio

In Lazio, Tucci steps outside of Rome to explore the region’s rural soul. He tries porchetta from Ariccia, rustic fish soup, and a springtime lamb dish that speaks to a deeper connection between simplicity and seasonality.
