About the show
In Tuscany, the epicenter of Italian culture and cuisine, hosts and judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini welcome 10 talented chefs to live and cook together in a breathtaking villa, where they will be tested like never before on their mastery of Italian cuisine. The competitors will have to navigate alliances and rivalries, proving they have what it takes to be the last chef standing and win a life-changing prize -- an immersive culinary education with renowned master chefs across Italy.
About the Hosts
A frequent Chopped judge and an Iron Chef, Alex is the Executive Chef at Butter in New York City.
You may recognize him from guest judging on Alex vs America, but he spends most of his time running four successful catering companies in LA (and surfing while his three Australian shepherds watch from the shore!). Born in Firenze, Italy, he now lives in Venice Beach, California, and loves to bring people together around the dinner table and share his culture with everyone around him.
