Stanley Tucci is an Oscar-nominated actor, but he’s carved out a nice side gig as one of the internet’s favorite foodies. Part of that came from his fantastic series Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy that previously ran for two seasons, which saw him explore Italy’s different regions and their unique food culture. At long last, the journey continues, as Tucci is once again taking viewers on a tour of Italy and sample its incredible food in the new National Geographic series, Tucci in Italy.
I absolutely loved Searching for Italy, it was the perfect comfort food (pun intended) during the early days of the pandemic. So when that show ended I was very disappointed, but was hopeful when rumors started to swirl that Tucci was looking to continue the show and then elated when it was announced that Tucci found his new home at Nat Geo. After a nearly year-and-a-half wait from that announcement, Tucci for Italy is here.
