The TVI Take
Stanley Tucci's National Geographic docuseries, five regional Italian episodes per season anchored on the relationship between landscape, history, and what gets cooked. Season 2 (May 2026) covers Naples and Campania, Veneto, Le Marche, Sicily, and Sardinia.
Critics rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, 72 on Metacritic. The Sardinian longevity-and-diet episode and the Naples vine-recovery episode show the format's structural payoff, each meal a route into a regional history rather than a recipe.
