Dinner Club

Carlo and Fabio De Luigi are ready to navigate the flavors of the river Po. They travel the waters of the longest Italian river piloting a boat all the way to the Venice lagoon. They taste simple, starred and even aphrodisiac dishes. What will they decide to cook for the Dinner Club dinner? Kiss-killer appetizers and a first course that will be worth waiting for.

On board a vintage motorhome, Carlo Cracco and Luciana Littizzetto cross Apulia and Basilicata. Luciana tries her hand in the kitchen while she struggles to survive Carlo's driving and he is facing one of his greatest fears - heights. However, when they get back, they are welcomed by a dinner based on Apulian-Lucanian flavors, dances and unexpected declarations of love.

On a vintage car, Carlo Cracco and Diego Abatantuono will discover the flavors of unknown Sardinia. Amidst amorous and gastronomic shocks, pastoral and centenarian traditions, they'll face the journey with a great appetite, even making Carlo return as a "student" in the kitchen. At the Dinner Club dinner, however, Diego will have to show off his culinary skills, which not everyone will recognize.

Carlo Cracco and Valerio Mastandrea will cycle along the Via Silente, one of the most beautiful routes in Cilento. Among gastronomic firsts, meetings of a certain level, comprehension problems and a lot of lactic acid, Carlo and Valerio will discover the secrets of a simple and authentic cuisine. And simplicity will also be the key of the dish with which they will conquer the Dinner Club.

Carlo Cracco has decided to take Sabrina Ferilli to the Maremma in an off-road vehicle. The wild charm of the Tuscan cowboys will distract Sabrina and threaten their relationship, but Carlo will always manage to win her back with food. A bet and a hard-boiled egg will decide the fate of their final dinner. Between tales of firsts and culinary insights, will Sabrina surprise the Dinner Club?

On a small beach, Carlo Cracco and Pierfrancesco Favino will experience southern hospitality in Sicily. Between the sea and the hinterland, Carlo will teach Pierfrancesco the basics, such as how to dress a salad, and then have him even tackle dishes of the highest level. Upon their return, the two will propose a starred recipe to the surprise and envy of some members of the Dinner Club.

In a Panda 4X4, Carlo Cracco takes Paola Cortellesi to discover one of the most magical and least-visited places in Calabria: the Sila plateau. Between aphrodisiac foods, rare dishes and ancient brotherhoods, Paola overcomes all of her culinary prejudices. Only one ingredient remains indigestible to her: Cracco's humor.

Antonio Albanese finds himself traveling in such a fascinating vehicle that he nicknames it "the soppressata." It is a typical truck that takes him and Carlo through the marvelous landscapes of South Tyrol. Together, they discover ancient recipes, take mountain pine baths and, among sheep with glasses and thunderous whips, end up collecting wild herbs in the company of a witch.

Carlo Cracco takes Luca Zingaretti to the land of entertainment: Romagna. Like two youngsters on leave, they experience everything, from an impromptu game of soccer, to a night in a monastery, to ballroom dancing on the beach. Between pasta, dances and taboo ingredients, the odd couple end up agreeing on the great Fellini's quote: "Life is a combination of magic and pasta."

From the southernmost point of Sicily to the peak of Etna to find a secret ingredient: this is the trip that Carlo embarks on with Marco Giallini, by far the most "rock-'n'-roll" travel companion. A real on-the-road journey with an exuberant traveling buddy under the scorching sun of Eastern Sicily, with the aim of discovering its most succulent treasures.

Dinner Club continues with two special episodes in which what happens after dinner is revealed, with laughter, new travel memories and new culinary experiments. In this first After Dinner, there will be room for spicy challenges involving chili peppers, hilarious situations at the table and on the go, and a toast to the notes of Battiato, with an increasingly in-tune Carlo Cracco...

The After Dinner continues between dance steps, the preparation of eggnog to conclude the meal and memories of the travelers' endeavours. And after the stories comes the long-awaited moment: Sabrina's reviews. What has the reigning Dinner Club champion write?
