Acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci has shared his delightful culinary experiences during the filming of his latest action-comedy, ‘Masterplan’. The film debuted on Prime Video on 16 October, showcasing not only Tucci’s talent but also his palate for exquisite cuisine.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Tucci, 65, recounted how his European filming locations led him to indulge in a variety of delicious dishes. His journey began in Italy, where he reveled in the gastronomic delights of Rome and the picturesque Lake Como. He remarked on the ease with which one can find exceptional food in Italy, stating, “In Italy when you go out to dinner, you’re going to get great food, for the most part.”

Following his time in Italy, Tucci spent a considerable amount of time in Paris. He would routinely travel between the French capital and his home in London, taking the train several times a week. During his time in Paris, Tucci discovered a charming little restaurant named Camille, conveniently situated near his hotel. “I ate there almost every day,” he revealed. The restaurant’s proximity and its delectable offerings made it a perfect choice for the actor, who enjoyed his culinary exploration amid a packed filming schedule. “It was absolutely amazing,” he added.
Tucci’s culinary interests are well-known, having shared his love for food in past television series such as ‘Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy’ in 2021 and ‘Tucci in Italy’, set for release in 2025. These shows reflect his refined taste and deep appreciation for regional cuisines. He also delved into his personal food journey in his 2021 memoir, ‘Taste: My Life Through Food’.
‘Masterplan’ features Tucci in the role of Roger, a skilled art thief who seeks the assistance of two unsuspecting individuals for an audacious heist at the Louvre, aiming to steal the Mona Lisa. The twist reveals that these accomplices are, in fact, his own children and siblings. The film blends the charm and complexity of its characters with a storyline reminiscent of classic heist movies from the 1960s and 1970s, which Tucci fondly grew up watching.
He expressed his affection for the film’s backdrop and character intricacies, highlighting the charming absurdity that comes with the plot. “I love the backdrop of it, and I like the complexity of the character,” Tucci noted. The film’s light-hearted approach to a serious heist further adds to its allure.
Alongside Tucci, ‘Masterplan’ features a talented cast, including Victor Belmondo and Simona Tabasco, both of whom contribute to the film’s engaging narrative. The blend of action and comedy aims to captivate audiences, making it a perfect watch for those seeking entertainment with a unique twist.
As Tucci continues to explore both the characters and the culinary delights he encounters, ‘Masterplan’ stands as a testament to both his acting range and his appreciation for the rich tapestry of European cuisine. With its availability on Prime Video, viewers can now join Tucci on this delightful journey where art, family, and gastronomy intersect.
