Tonight | Tucci in Italy on SBS: Stanley Tucci begins his food journey in Tuscany – Stanley Tucci opens a new Italian food series in Tuscany, exploring the connection between a region’s dishes, landscape and people. Tucci in Italy airs Thursday 8 October 2026 at 7.35pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
The first destination is personal for Tucci because Florence is a city where he spent a memorable year of his youth.
Tuscany opens the series
In Florence, Tucci samples a famous but unexpected breakfast dish. The episode uses food as a way into the local culture rather than treating the region as a simple checklist of restaurants.
He also visits a ranch with traditional Tuscan cowboys, then joins a grand outdoor feast in Siena at the world-famous Palio. Those stops move the story beyond the city.
Across five parts, Tucci sets out to show how pasta shapes, sauces and local customs express the identity of each Italian region. The Tuscany premiere begins that culinary journey on SBS.
Tucci in Italy Tuscany premiere airs Thursday 8 October 2026 at 7.35pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
