"🌟4/5🌟 A touching & emotional story. Saldana is really great in this role because she doesn’t overplay it — Both she & her “leading man” were superb at portraying the real-life married couple at the center of this story. Soldana is just gorgeous through & through, but the character she plays here is simply lovely on the inside as well. I’d definitely #recommend this movie if you enjoy #romance, the beautiful Italian countryside, art, & architecture. The #soundtrack & instrumental background music richly enhanced the overall tone & atmosphere of this soulful, romantic miniseries. "

"This was fine. Heartbreaking story of family and loss. The best part is 44 year old Zoe Saldana, who looks 20. She plays a saint of a women surrounded by other strong, beautiful women. The cast is fantastic. The music amazing. Did I get bored a few times? Eh. It was still a very nice watch. "
"LOVE this show, a wonderful and emotional story that pulls you in immediately. I also appreciated that they didnt shy away from having scenes in Italian/Sicilian and even displayed some aspects of the culture that I dont normally see mentioned. Honestly a 10/10, it couldnt have been done better!"

"The chemistry and the acting in this series is what brought me to tears. It seemed so real and genuine, and watching Zoe Saldaña break into tears activated my water works. There is beautifully paced character development throughout the series, and I felt nothing but love watching their journey. "
"“This is a good place to come when your heart hurts.”
This is a sweet, touching story of love, life, and embracing your palate when it comes to food. It is about loss, a collective shedding of tears, and finding our way when it feels least possible, as well as being there for family when they most urgently need it or to celebrate their myriad successes and milestones.
It poignantly unfolds over a course of years and follows the magical love story between a woman from America and a man from Italy. They go through the ups and downs of each passage of time together to find what really matters, what makes them tick. She loves art for the way it transforms feeling into passion and he’s a cook who whips up the most beautiful, intricate, delectable of recipes that come from deep within his heart. Together, they are unstoppable and face everything all at once bravely and with inner strength that propels them forward!
It is all about sharing their big and little moments and ways of coping when the going gets tough. And we find it is all in the process not the particular destination that matters most. I think the title, From Scratch, is fitting because it reminds of gathering, as a loving group, around a table for a delicious, satiating homemade meal or building and then re-building your identity from its beginning origin point! A show to be remembered! "
