Rachael Ray's Italian Dream Home

I agree with everyone about how rude and toxic she is. I can't believe someone in her employ didn't stop this from becoming an actual show. I'd also heard first hand from a driver we had in Italy who had unfortunately driven her before. They were mortified!

No need to repeat what everyone else said so This is what disappointed me so much: she didn't collect dishes or rugs or anything from her travels in Italy, nothing was authentically Italian. She shipped it over from New York. A shame and really, a scam. All she cared about was some date on the calendar that everything had to be done by and she didn't care enough about the humans who were killing themselves to meet her ridiculous deadline.

Every single review here is negative! Not a single positive thing about her!

I have never before watched an RR show. I love design shows, especially those taking a very old space and making it wonderful. This show did not do that. It was all about RR...and the very worst of her. Hateful b!#($. So full of herself. I don't understand how she has ANY shows. I watched one episode and can't take any more, particularly because the show isn't about the design of a house, it's about a terrible person who is cruel to everyone who comes within three feet of her. There isn't enough money in the world that would make me want to work for her. Please someone, tell me how she has any TV shows? All I can hope is that she reads these reviews and takes something away from them that makes her realize she needs serious help. But first rehab.

I had to come online to see if anyone else was watching this show. It has all the elements of a good show. But Rachael Ray acts like a prima donna on this show. She is rude to both her husband and her general contractor belittling their ideas. I have renovated many homes and there are ways to say you don't agree without cutting off a man's testicles. I see everyone tip toeing around her like let's not upset Rachael. We have to get this done bc Rachael is coming. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you have to treat everyone like garbage. I find the whole thing off putting. Not to mention she looks very bloated and is always carrying around a glass of wine on camera. I enjoy a cocktail as much as the next person but it looks like someone has a little drinking problem. That's just my observation. Otherwise I enjoy watching them making over stables and a barn into a house in Tuscany.

The idea of renovation in Italy was interesting.

However I did find Rachael Ray to be demanding. Ultimately that reuined it for me, not fun to watch ranting. The design was nice however. Would have liked to see more about the area and the history of the place.

I couldn't wait to watch, as I love Italy so much, and always fond of her ,thought I was fond of her, till I saw show . All I can say is ,she is a tyrant. Her poor contractor walking on ice ,he really gets anxious when she's coming there. I can see why, she's dreadful! Drinking her wine barking orders ,mad about him bringing furniture and decor to her warehouse,where she has things stored there she picked out for home .She was like get this out of here ,furniture he brought and thought she might like ,she just was livid he said she told me to store it here so many times !! She obviously doesn't remember what she says because she's not coherent from all the wine and is horrible to her staff .And how she is about her husband, her saying ,I don't want to see my husband shower "as if he's some disgusting swamp creature,"he needs separate shower from me where I can't see. She is not cute it's not funny ,it was just mean, and she has horrible taste.
