Stanley Tucci surprised locals at a bar in Gwynedd on Saturday afternoon, continuing his tour of Wales just days after being spotted in Cardiff and Narberth. The actor and filmmaker called into Bar Bach in Caernarfon town centre for a pint, to the delight of fans.
Bar Bach staff share news of the visit
Staff at Bar Bach shared news of the actor's visit on social media. They said: "Pan mae'r bonheddwr @stanleytucci yn dewis Bar Bach am ei beint... mae rhaid ein bod yn gwneud rywbeth yn iawn. Ffffiiiiw! Mae'r gyfrinach allan or diwedd! Gŵr bonheddig hynod annwyl, mae wedi bod yn fraint cael unigolyn mor hoffus i alw heibio. Ymdrechu i roi ei amser a'i sylw i bawb."
This translates as: "When the gentleman @stanleytucci chooses Bar Bach for his pint... we must be doing something right. Phew! The secret is finally out! A truly lovely gentleman; it has been a privilege to have such a likeable person drop by. He makes an effort to give his time and attention to everyone."
Tucci's culinary tour across Wales
The Hollywood star also visited Cardiff market last week, stopping at the popular Cardiff Bakestones Welsh cakes stall where he paused for pictures. Tucci has been filming his National Geographic TV series, which airs on Disney+ around the UK. This UK-based series follows on from the Italy-focused first series, Tucci in Italy, which takes the actor on a tour of exceptional and local foods and specialities.
Tucci on Great Britain was announced by the 65-year-old via his Instagram in June, but no detail was given as to where it would take him, just that he would be going on another "culinary adventure" and that the show would be coming "soon".
Filming at Cardiff market and Pembrokeshire
During the show's stop in Wales, the production took him to Cardiff's indoor market in the city centre. Cardiff Bakestones owner Adam El Tagoury said: "They were filming a new series touring the UK and trying all the local dishes specific to those areas. Obviously had to come to us for the best Welsh cakes."
He added: "He had a variety of Welsh cakes and seemed to enjoy them all but you'll have to wait for the series which will be aired on Disney+ next year I believe, for a full reaction."
Tucci was also spotted filming Tucci on Great Britain down in Pembrokeshire this week. He was seen on High Street in Narberth outside J O Griffiths Butchers, reports the Western Telegraph.
