Giuliana and her family were gracious hosts! We felt very welcome in their home and learned step by step how to make an Italian dish. The food was wonderful and we enjoyed our evening very much!

What an evening!!

Great food. Great wine. Wonderful company. Fabulous evening, What I wanted to say is above but Viator required to write more. OK I did.

Rescheduled three times via Viator?

I was contacted by the first host asking to move my dinner time from 7 PM until 1 PM which I was unable to do. I was contacted by a second host who told me that Have a cat in the house And my husband is allergic. The third host was a charm. Beatrice was fabulous and she served us a vegetarian Italian meal. However, the process for this was flawed.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Patty, Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry for the confusion and inconvenience you encountered during the booking process. Last-minute host changes are never ideal, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to first be asked to adjust your dinner time and then learn about an allergy concern. That is certainly not the smooth experience we aim to provide. We’re very happy to hear that Beatrice delivered a wonderful vegetarian Italian meal — we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. At the same time, we sincerely apologize that the coordination process felt flawed, and we are reviewing this internally to ensure better consistency and communication in the future. Thank you again for your honest feedback — it truly helps us improve.
