Ten chefs get settled into their Tuscan villa, where two competitors get a huge advantage for the next round.

Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini welcome 12 talented chefs to Puglia, Italy; they live and cook together, fusing their own culinary styles with Italian cuisine; one chef's journey ends when their own team votes them out of the villa.

Previously eliminated chefs have a cooking duel to join the finalists for a chance to win a culinary education with renowned chefs across Italy.

The two remaining chefs are stunned when some unwelcome guests arrive at the villa; Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini choose the winner of 'Ciao House.'

The two team captains must choose their teammates before they are given the details of judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini's challenge.

The chefs learn how to make scratch-made pasta from authentic Italian nonnas, and temper flare during a team challenge.
