Hi from Cristina!

Cristina welcomes her guests in a villa surrounded by greenery with large outdoor spaces and large windows, where you can admire the garden and the centuries-old olive trees. A little corner of paradise not far from the center of the Eternal City. "Since my tender age I have always looked with admiration the love with which my grandmother, of Apulian origins, worked for hours in the kitchen. I still remember her hands and her aprons, often soiled with flour and the aroma of 'good things and genuine' that spread throughout the house and enveloped me in a pleasant feeling of well-being."

Our dinner experience was amazing. The food was great, but better was the authentic experience of Rome residential living and cooking. Highly recommend.

We spent three weeks traveling all through Italy, Turkey and Greece with multi generational family group ages 14 to 77. Hands down everyone's favorite experience was the evening we spent with Cristina make the most delicious pasta in her home. Cristina is a great teacher. We cooked in her lovely home and ate out in her garden surrounded by 150 year old olive trees that she uses for her own olive oil. The whole evening was just magical.

My grandma and I had the absolute pleasure of taking a cooking class with Cristina, where she taught us how to make homemade pasta, including fettuccine and gnocchi, as well as an equally delicious tiramisu. Cristina was so lovely and accommodating; even letting us stay a bit longer while we waited for our taxi, which made the experience feel even more personal and welcoming. What stood out most was her deep passion and love for cooking —it wasn’t just informative, it was genuinely inspiring and uplifting to witness. We truly appreciate everything she shared with us, and we will be recommending this class to absolutely everyone we know!
