Join Gino D’Acampo on a delicious journey through Italy, where every dish tells a story of tradition and courage. In Sardinia, he samples century-old recipes like dogfish “burida,” shrimp with zucchini, and local cheeses before discovering “fil’e ferru,” the island’s secret moonshine. In Palermo, he meets a chef who defied the Mafia to keep serving Sicily’s iconic street food — croquettes, chickpea fritters, and arancina — proving that food can conquer fear. Finally, in Modica, Gino uncovers 16th-century chocolate traditions with rich cocoa, cinnamon, and even beef-filled pastries. Gino’s Italian Escape celebrates authentic flavors, brave chefs, and Italy’s timeless passion for food.
