Amazing experience at a beautiful home in Florence. Would highly recommend this activity. We had a 4 course meal with wine and coffee. Very enjoyable getting to know our host for the evening and learning about living in Florence.

What a wonderful experience not only did we eat but we meet the most beautiful people in Paola & Massimo. We felt as if we were visiting family without the drama. The food was amazing and the conversation was excellent. Everyone should enjoy this type of interaction with one another we are all one people and should come together as such.
