Actor, author, and food travel host
Big Night made him a cult food hero, then Searching for Italy and Tucci in Italy turned him into the world's favorite guide to regional Italian cooking. His memoir Taste is a bestseller.
Screen legend and cookbook author
The face of Italian cinema also wrote In Cucina con Amore and Recipes & Memories — Neapolitan home cooking, told through her own life. Famously said everything she has she owes to spaghetti.
Actor and restaurateur
Co-founder of Nobu and Tribeca Grill, with an Italian-American table at the center of half his filmography. One of the few actors who is genuinely a restaurant operator.
Actor
The Godfather taught a generation how to brown sausage and add a little wine — the most quoted Italian-American cooking scene ever filmed.
Actress
Umbrian to the core, Bellucci talks openly about olive oil, truffles and the long family lunches of Città di Castello whenever the subject turns to food.
Actor
A fixture of Italian cinema whose on-screen tables — Wertmüller, Bond, Hannibal — are as memorable as his performances, and a vocal defender of traditional Ligurian cooking.
Actor and director
Tuscany's loudest ambassador. Life Is Beautiful put an Italian family table on the Oscars stage, and his riffs on Tuscan bread and wine are their own genre.
Actor and limoncello maker
Launched Danny DeVito's Premium Limoncello after falling for the Sorrento original — the rare actor whose product ended up in real Italian digestivo conversations.
Actress
Brooklyn Italian-American through and through — from My Cousin Vinny to Only You, her roles keep landing at the family table, and she cooks the same way off camera.
Actress and farmer
Runs Mama Farm on Long Island — heritage animals, eggs, honey — and talks about food as agriculture first, glamour second.
Director and designer
Films that eat well — Call Me by Your Name's apricots, Bones and All's road food — and a side career designing restaurant interiors in Italy.
Actor and writer
The Sopranos made Sunday gravy, Vesuvio and baked ziti part of American food language; Imperioli still gets asked about the food more than the plot.
