Two Scoops of Italy

Chef Danielle goes to Italy, encouraged by her sister Sarah, to get inspiration for her failing restaurant. In the small Italian town, she meets the initially grouchy Giancarlo, who is helping his father at their family cafe. Her small rental is managed by the lovely Elida who recommends some light reading and becomes Danielle's friend. Eventually Giancarlo becomes Danielle's tour guide and in return she helps him make a special gelato flavor that will win over a local nine year old named Nico...in order to add a new flavor to his father's same old gelato flavors.

I really enjoyed the actor Michele Rosiello, who played Giancarlo. I thought he and Hunter King had great chemistry and kept me interested in the story, which had some highlights and a few annoyances. I was sad that Danielle could go to Italy and not come up with a totally inspiring new menu for her restaurant. It was fun to have a fictional story woven into the film. I also loved seeing the local games played and the small community.

Overall the film was very positive and I think most romantics will enjoy this film, making it a recommendation from me.
