An Exec Heads to Italy to Woo a Chef in 'A Very Venice Romance'

A Very Venice Romance

Before we head into sweater weather and bundle up in our thermals and fleece until spring, Hallmark takes viewers to the balmy seaside Italian town of Venice in their latest Fall into Love movie, A Very Venice Romance. The film stars Stephanie Leonidas and Raniero Monaco Di Lapio, both new to the Hallmark family.

What is A Very Venice Romance about?

Amy (Leonidas) is a New York City executive that has been trying to launch health-forward deliverable meal prep kits. She needs to find a chef to help guide the venture and sets her sights on Italian chef Marcello (Monaco Di Lapio). Marcello declines to hear Amy’s offer, so the never-deterred Amy travels to Venice, Italy and signs up for his advanced cooking course hoping to make her case in person. While there, she meets an assortment of charming and quirky tourists as they learn to cook and travel around Venice and the surrounding area. Marcello introduces Amy to the slow-paced pleasures of Italy and shows her how the kits can be healthy by using fresh ingredients. Amy’s boss isn’t convinced, and Amy risks losing her job if she doesn’t stay on-brand. Will Amy follow her instincts and her heart, or will she stay quiet to keep her job?
