Two Scoops of Italy

While this movie includes some of Hallmarks traditional storylines what sets it apart is the acting skills of Hunter King and Michele Rosiello as the main characters, Danielle and Giancarlo. There's just a special chemistry between these two actors which gives an authentic feel to this relationship which keeps the viewer engaged in the story. Other characters are also perfectly cast. The story revolves around Danielle's failed restaurant in the U. S., and an investor who is ready to pull out unless there are drastic changes in the works that would help turn the business around. Danielle imbarks on a trip to Italy where she plans to taste the food and get ideas and inspiration for a new restaurant menu. She is charmed by the quaint village and its people and meets Giancarlo and he also has some new ideas and dreams for the Cafe he and his father run. A subplot has to do with a book she is given to read. There are also a couple of surprises in the plot too. A charming film, beautifully acted and the chemistry is superb.
