Where was From Scratch on Netflix filmed?

From Scratch takes place in Italy, with American student Amahle “Amy” Wheeler making the trek to the country for her study abroad program. As Amy spends her time in Italy, she meets and falls in love with Sicilian chef Lino, who becomes an important part of Amy’s life. According to Netflix, their “whirlwind” and “cross-cultural romance” face many challenges.

When Lino is faced with health challenges, their two families will come together to support the couple. The streaming service also promises some lighthearted moments “alongside the more serious ones.”

Based on the trailer, the love story takes place in Italy and America. So did production go overseas? The answer is yes!

According to What’s On Netflix, filming of the show begins in April 2021 and ends in August, the month that cameras began rolling in Los Angeles. The romantic backdrop of the show was provided by Florence, Italy, where it is filmed until the production ends in July.

All eight episodes of From Scratch will be released Friday, Oct. 21, on Netflix.
