    6/10
    Sweet but predictable comedy
    The plot takes place in the fashionable world of Haute Cuisine, where Arturo used to be a Michelin-starred cook, before ending up in jail for anger issues.

    During his social service he meets Guido a gifted young cook with Asperger and Anna, who's the totally unnecessary romantic interest.

    Supervising Guido during a cooking competition, Arturo will end up being a mentor for Guido and also a better person.

    Set in the beautiful Tuscany landscape, the movie is a sight for sore eyes, but the extremely predictable plot and the useless female role don't help to elevate this above an average level.
