Hosts and judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini welcome 10 talented chefs to Ciao House, where they will live together in a beautiful Tuscan villa and be tested like never before on their proficiency with Italian cuisine. Two chefs receive a huge advantage going into the next round, and one chef must say "Ciao Ciao" to the villa.
Four chefs must prepare an outstanding three course meal with the ingredients provided to them. A panel of judges will determine which chef wins the $10,000 prize.
