This was such an amazing experience for us. We went in Sept 2024. Nico and his family were the best with great conversation, food, wine and environment. Nico picked us up at our lodging and dropped us off near the Pantheon afterwards!

Authentic Italian afternoon food experience

Tijl_K, Feb 2025

We spent the afternoon with a warm and welcoming Italian family. Talking, drinking wine together and cooking of course. It was a great experience that I can only recommend.

Fantastic night with a great family

A fantastic night with a great family. The whole family truly make it feel as though you are having dinner with old friends. Its shows that even with a language barrier you can communicate and enjoy each others company. They recommended traditional restaurants near the Vatican for us when we were going there the next day, made the reservation for us and Nicola texted the next day to follow up to make sure we were able to go without issues. Not to mention the food and wine we had at the dinner was delicious. Highly recommend this experience to anyone going to Rome.

Fun and delicious experience...A must book!

Lisa_L, Nov 2023

We had an amazing time with Nicolo and his family. It was a highlight of our trip and a must do! It was reminiscent of my childhood Sunday dinners at my grandparents' house. They willingly accommodated my vegan sister's diet while still making us a traditional Italian meal with great conversation. The kids also said it was their favorite part of the trip! Nicolo then went out of his way to drop something off at our hotel that was accidentally left behind. If we ever find ourselves back in the Rome area, we will be booking again for sure! Thanks again, Nicolo for the hospitality!

Ciao Lisa , Reading your awesome review put a big smile on our faces! Thanks for sharing your experience, and we really hope to see you again soon. Ciao ciao ! Nicolò, Daniela & Mario

Incredible Experience

Bethany_M, Nov 2023

We had such an incredible experience cooking in Daniela, Mario and Nicolò’s home. They were so welcoming of us into their home and we created memories that will last forever! This experience was one of our favorite things we did on our 2 week trip. We will absolutely be incorporating some of the cooking tips we learned into our dinners back home. We would 100% recommended this to anyone who is looking for a one of a kind experience with an amazing family!

Ciao beth, We are honored to have created memories that you will carry with you for the rest of your life, see you again in Rome. Ciao ciao ! Nicolò, Daniela & Mario

We were totally welcomed into this lovely family home by Daniela, her husband and and son, Nicolo who translated for us all. Beautiful food, great company and amazing experience.

A highlight of our Rome trip.

Fantastic Experience!!! After days of crowds and amazing Roman experiences it was nice to spend an evening with Daniella, Mario, and Nicolo in their home. Fun evening filled with food , fun, and wonderful locals willing to share their home. Must do and would definitely do again.
