Experiencing the sensual pleasures of Rome for the first time, student Laura Patterson decides she wants to go out with a chef. So when she meets handsome Tommaso Massi, who tells her that he works at the best restaurant in Rome, she’s ready to be bowled over by the fantastic dishes he cooks her. But Tomasso has a secret - the real chef is actually his best friend, Bruno. And Bruno has a secret too - he’s fallen head over heels in love with Laura himself…

So begins a delicious comedy of errors, a romance as light and dazzling as one of Bruno’s own chocolate desserts, in which Laura has to choose between beauty and passion, Bruno has to decide between friendship and love, and Tommaso realises he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
