Highlight of our trip! 🤍

Euree_P, May 2024

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. We ended up changing locations at the last minute due to scheduling, and Paola’s son, Andrea, graciously invited us to his home near the city center. Andrea and his gf taught us so much about authentic Italian cuisine and we had such a fun time helping put the dishes together as well as sharing a meal with them. We felt very comfortable; it was like chatting and having dinner with old friends. Make sure to come hungry because they do not skimp on the food and drinks. We enjoyed it immensely! Andrea also provided us with transportation to and from our hotel (for a very reasonable fee) and gave us recommendations on things to do in Rome. If you have the time, I highly recommend booking this experience!!
