need a green circle

I watched the Napoli and Tuscany episodes. I like this. Obviously, Anthony Bourdain is a complex act to follow. Tucci is reserved, more conventional - but he's not trying to be the new Bourdain - he's not trying to upstage him. He's his own man. He has his own story. It's not as heavy as a hit as Bourdain, but it has a welcome place in the food travel genre. And in the Covid pandemic environment where so little travel is possible, it's a welcome escape to a happier and more open planet earth.

I enjoy this one too. He’s laid back and lets the food and people behind them shine.

Did he often seem to be lost, searching for the Italian foods aisle?

Nah he was more walking through delicious restaurants and neighborhoods and talking to interesting people

i just ate so much pasta and i had already had dinner

maybe my first post- Covid trip will be to Italy and I'll just eat food and drink wine for a few weeks

I love italy so goddamn much. I can't wait to watch this.

i was glad when he leaked that secret

I keep trying to make fun of the goofy name of this show, but no one will engage me. I should've known better than to try to mess with the Tucci Gang

on the UES the Citarella is on the corner and at one point it had an attached bar/resto on the adjacent side of the corner (under a different name). they had a dollar oysters happy hour every week, which I used to hit up often. one time I actually found a baby pearl inside. not sure what happened to it

Saw the Naples episode and loved it. I can’t wait for the Bologna episode. One of my favorite cities on earth.
