My husband and I had so much fun! Lidia was warm and welcoming. Ot was so interesting to be in an actual home and watch how their delicious food is actually made. When the cooking was done, we sat out in their garden/patio and ate the fruits of our labor plus a few more of lLidia’s. We had wine and limoncello to top off a wonderful day! I highly recommend this experience to all!

Experience authentique au cœur d'une famille italienne. Repas partagé avec ces derniers et moment très convivial.

Lidia was a complete joy. So friendly and welcoming in her home. Speaking different languages didn’t stop us from communicating and enjoying a wonderful lunch with her and her family. Would highly recommend her to anyone.

Our time with Lidia and her family was wonderful. The experience was beyond what we imagined, and the food was delightful. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we enjoyed the conversation, the laughter, and the education. We enjoyed spending time with Lidia's son, who spoke English, and his lovely wife. Thank you!

It was such a great experience to learn how to make orecchietti and tiramisu and to sit in a kitchen and outside on their beautiful quiet garden patio that had been in the family for over 200 years! The Mama did not speak English but her son did and was able to explain and be the complete host!
