Gino’s kids visit Sardinia every summer on holiday, but the family rarely ventures further and he’s determined to plunge them into the real Italy and embrace their heritage.

They begin their journey in gorgeous Sardinia and then travel to his hometown of Naples and places like Calabria and Puglia.

What does the trailer show?

The trailer shows Gino and the family making some yummy-looking bruschetta, with fresh southern Italian tomatoes, pecorino cheese, onions, fennel, olive oil and a drizzle of local honey.

He even gets Mia to grate some fresh lemon zest and pick fresh herbs for the dish, too.

With everyone mucking in this looks as though it’s going to be a real family affair.

In episode two, for instance, Gino takes Rocco to the city of Naples, where he shows his son some of his own family’s recipes.

Gino also introduces him to the delights of Pizza fritta – a Neopolitan deep-fried street food.

What did Gino say about the new series?

Gino says about the series has been on his radar for a couple of years.

“I’d done some [camera] work with my daughter Mia and she was very good,” he said.

“The one I wasn’t sure about was Jessica, my wife, because she doesn’t really like to get involved in it.

“But the lockdown sort of helped, because we were all very eager to do something different.

“So that was the right timing.

“I said, ‘Let’s go to Italy, I’ll take each of you around Italy!’”

Gino’s Family Adventure begins on Monday November 8 at 8pm on ITV.
