Step outside of Rome

Jeanette_D, Jun 2025

A wonderful opportunity to venture into the countryside beyond Rome. Davide and Elena are generous hosts and provided both a fun and informative approach to cooking. All of the food was delicious. The visit to Villa D’Est was a fabulous opportunity although the heat of the afternoon made it rather challenging.

Ciao Jeanette :) Grazie for your wonderful words! Chef Davide & Elena

Private lunch in Tivoli

Janet_P, May 2025

I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience our family had in Tivoli and particularly with Davide and Elena. The gardens were beyond amazing but having our delicious lunch prepared for us by Davide and Elena was an experience that I cannot begin to describe how wonderful it was . Our whole family agree that it was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Italy. Don’t miss this!!!!! Janet P.

Sandra_W, Jun 2024

This was one of the best excursions we have been on. It’s a must see if you are in the area. You’ll never meet a more pleasurable and friendly team like Chef Davide and his lovely wife Elena. We highly recommend their cooking class, lunch and visit to Villa d Esti.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Ciao Sandra! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear this was one of the best excursions you've been on—that's such a huge compliment. 🙏
