We came hungry, but left with more than just full bellies. Simona and Carolina are true gems of Como. We’ve spent a full week here, traveling all over and trying food from restaurants of all kinds, ranging from low to high prices. But this was our first in-home experience with a local. Simona’s knowledge of her country and region is incredibly thorough and engaging. She helped us understand how Como’s culture has shaped the cuisine into what it is today. They are truly wonderful hosts with such big, open hearts, able to turn strangers into family in an instant. A true Italian charm. It’s not a goodbye but rather, arrivederci ❤️

I would definitely give our experience with Carolina and Simona 10 stars if this app would let me. We had so much fun! Carolina and Simona were so warm and welcomed us into their beautiful hilltop home with open arms. This felt like an evening spent cooking with a favorite aunt and cousin. The three pastas we made were delicious. This was truly one of the best experiences of our entire trip! I highly recommend it!
