"The Italian Recipe" racconta dell’incontro tra Peng – un pop-idol cinese che va a Roma per girare un presunto reality show con una starlet cinese – e Mandy, una giovane cinese emigrata in Italia da bambina con i genitori, che aspira invece a diventare uno chef. Mandy è un esempio tipico della generazione di cinesi nati o cresciuti in Italia, che vivono a cavallo tra due culture. La sua famiglia gestisce una lavanderia dove tutti lavorano sodo, e lei è costretta dai genitori a frequentare l’università e studiare legge nonostante sia appassionata di cucina ed aspiri segretamente ad ottenere una borsa di studio per andare a studiare con un famoso chef. Mandy parla perfettamente italiano, conosce Roma come le sue tasche, gira in Vespa ma ogni tanto sostituisce uno dei suoi amici italiani come autista di un hotel del centro. È in questo ruolo che incontra Peng, un giovane cantante cinese che arriva a Roma circondato da personaggi che vengono, al contrario della famiglia tradizionale di Mandy, dal mondo cinico e superficiale dell’industria del glamour cinese contemporaneo.

Recensioni
Instant formular of cliche storyline and artificial sentiment.
Unoriginal plot. Their story is like the instant noodles that just aims to finish things quick without creating anything worth cherish. Their story accumulates so many cliche plots that we've seen so often in other movies and make them even more cliche by not adding any new element into their own work. It's the pop star falling in love with an ordinary girl. Also a one-night falling in love in a foreign land. And Confessing love at a friend's wedding (by stealing the scene from the bride and groom -- which is very impolite in real life, I would say. And very cringey when it appears in the film.)Things in this movie pass by in a very superficial style. Nothing deep but they try to force the audience to perceive what happen as something deep. There's almost nothing happen between the ML and FL during their time together, which is not more than 12 hours, apart from running in a spooky cemetery and baking a cake together. But ML, who is a celebrity, is so naively certain this is true forever love and ready to give up everything for FL.
So many things happen nonsensically and baselessly. The production team absolutely doesn't care to lay out any solid foundation for the leads' feelings. Until to the point that they kiss, I still don't feel they have feelings for each other. It's more like a suit-for-the-moment kiss than any deep-meaning kiss. Throughout the movie, from beginning to end, I don't feel any chemistry between ML and FL at all. And ironically, there's this dialogue of FL around the beginning saying it's funny for her that people in entertainment business can fakely love each other on a show because love can be portrayed through the eyes and when she sees the eyes, it tells whether the love is real of not. People can't fake love -- Yes, she surely can't fake it. I don't feel any feeling in her eyes towards ML at all, and to be fair, it's vice versa.
A few positive points about this movie is that they have proper production. They know how to use the camera and set the setting well. FL seems to be able to speak Italian as well. If she can't, she came prepared. Her mounth shape while speaking goes along with Italian language sound making it looks natural when she have a conversation.
