Imagine if Stanley Tucci opened a restaurant. Well, it turns out he’s been dreaming about it too. The actor’s recent foray into the food world has seen him release a cookbook or two, become the TV host of a tasting tour of Italy, and this month, he released Tucci branded cookware. So what is the next natural step to take in his culinary career? Open an Italian in London, of course.
The Londoner ran into Tucci last night in a suitably foodie setting, the reopening of the dining hall at Harrods, where guests enjoyed an endless supply of sushi, wagyu beef, scallops, mini gourmet burgers, and champgne on tap. The Londoner was saying hello to former diarist Elizabeth Day, now an author and podcaster, when the Tucci and Felicity Blunt arrived. The pair immediately came to greet their pal Day, and we took the opportunity to ask Tucci if a Stan’s Italian was on the cards and what it would be like.
