From peach picking in Turin to truffle hunting in Piedmonte, the show celebrates the best in local and seasonal Italian ingredients.

Taking inspiration from the local markets and people he met along the coast of Italy, in the 2nd show: Gino’s Italian Coastal Escape, he brings together authentic regional recipes along with his family heritage recipes that you can easily recreate at home. In The 3rd Installment: Gino’s Coastal Odyssey, he showcases a few of his favorite places along the Mediterranean coast – some for their beauty, but mostly for their incredible food and ingredients. The 4th show, Gino’s Italian Express, is a celebration of the delicious and authentic local foods that Gino discovered on his train travels across the country.
