We loved our experience with Loredana! We felt so welcome in her home. It was both unexpected and amazing to cook and eat with her, her husband, and two of their friends. These friends, from New Zealand and Peru, helped to translate between Italian and English. It was such a treat to sit at a table with four different continents represented. The night resulted in lots of laughter, regardless of the language barrier. For the cooking part -- Loredana showed us how to make fresh pasta dough. While the dough rested, we sat down to have a glass of wine while admiring the view outside. We came back inside to roll out the dough and cut it into taglietelle, it was quite the workout! Afterwards, Loredana came out with the most incredible array of food. She had made a delightful meat sauce to mix into the pasta which we enjoyed as a first course. She then brought out a feast! So many delicious and different bites of food. We ended with some of the best tiramisu we've ever had. The only warning is that her home is a bit difficult to find, as it is a little off the main path. Google maps brought us to the main path, but the help stopped there. We struggled to find where to go until we called Loredana for help, and they came out to find us. Overall, this was a highlight of our trip to Italy. We're so glad we found Loredana and her family, and hope to visit again someday! Thank you!
