A Very Venice Romance Plot

Amy (Stephanie Leonidas) is a New York City business executive trying to launch healthful delivery meal prep kits with supplements. She needs to find a chef to help guide the venture. So, she sets her sights on Italian Chef Marcello (Raniero Monaco Di Lapio). When he declines to hear her offer, Amy travels to Venice, Italy and signs up for Marcello’s advanced cooking class. She wants to make her case in person. While there, she meets tourists who also learn to cook and travel the island. Marcello shows Amy the slow pace of Italian life, and how her kits can use fresh ingredients instead of supplements. Amy’s boss isn’t convinced, and Amy risks losing her job if she doesn’t stay on-brand. Will she follow her instincts? Or, will she stay quiet to keep her job?
