If you like "Tucci in Italy", then you'll love this trip!
Lisa seems to always get the jump on Stanley (hmmm, might he stalking Lisa's social?!) and her Sicilian adventure is no exception. You'll be enjoying some of the grand foodie moments featured in Tucci's show.
But you must grab that LAST ROOM, then watch Tucci's Sicily episode and pack your bags and prepare to be amazed.
