    Travel Guide and Not Romantic Movie
    I live in a country with the most number of Michelin starred restaurants than any parts of Europe or the US, or all of them combined and I have met these chefs myself as I have eaten in many Michelin starred restaurants. This film does NOT have a real Michelin starred chef that knows Italian food (they have never consulted ones obviously...) Only Italian about this movie was a background scenery and the location as it is filmed in both Italy and Denmark. If you have never eaten in Michelin starred restaurants or know of what actual high-end restaurants are alike, or can't travel due to disability or/and just wants to watch a travel guide without any plot whatsoever, then this Tuscany guide clip might be worth your time. But be aware it is not a movie, because most people I know expect an interesting plot, at least some kind of chemistry between a man and a woman since it said Romantic genre...this movie has nothing, NO script. There is no storyline to this movie. Not a romantic genre and not comedy either (the Danish chef is very much depressed ALL of the time). They don't know how to make risotto either (they make it with pungent red wine, horrid...) Don't call it Romantic when no one falls in love in a movie. It is nothing but only about a depressed "Michelin" starred chef who overcome bitter childhood memory of his father who passed his restaurant to his son. The storyline was also cringe worthy. Who would kiss a woman who is getting married tomorrow not even knowing her at all only after meeting for a week?! CRINGE. The story is all over and broken up, doesn't have cohesiveness, and jumps up and down, and all over. And we don't even know to whom she was getting married, until the wedding day. Poor script of everything. It tried to be Chocolat (music wise but it only has one or two music lol) or tried to be about a restaurant but they all failed on it. Not about romance, not about food, yeah mere travel guide. Btw, no one serves Parmesan cheese in those huge blocks like that, you would feel very sick eating huge chunks of Parmesan cheese with salami like that. This was a cringe worthy movie overall for foodies. Don't watch it if you are a foodie. You would feel puzzled. Netflix sucks, that's all. Not recommended.

    Sweet little romantic drama
    This little film filled an easy hour and a half.

    The scenery and setting is what really carries his movie for me. Tuscany just looks absolutely fantastic. The food also looks terrific ... I almost felt as though I could smell it!

    The story is not original but quite well played. The love wave comes in a bit too fast between the couple so is a little unrealistic ... but ok.

    I liked that he completed the sale and went back to Denmark ... rather than the 100% Hollywood ending where the wedding is called off and they just live happily ever after. To go through with the wedding ... and make a cringing speech ... then have her leave her husband shortly after is a bolder and better choice.

    64/100.
