I've discovered this miniseries while I was suffering from COVID and lost taste & smell. Well, I must say it felt like I never lost it at all. Tucci's passion and love for his subject made it as if I kept traveling through Italy and tasting amazing flavours despite it all!
More than showing simple dishes, Tucci is really knowledgable when it gets to the country's history, culture, geography, politics... Everything you need to start understanding what Italy really is!
I've loved every bit of this documentary and I cannot wait for more of it - I hope a season will be dedicated to wines.
Why is 1 star missing? You cannot go to Sicily and not talk more about the street food (panelle, pane con milza...), the sweets (cassata, canoli) and most iconic ingredients (almonds, pistacchios, ricotta...) and dishes (parmigiana, caponata, couscous di pesce, pesce spada, tonno...). I think something was missed there ;)
