- I booked a class with Marco for my mother, sister and myself specifically to learn to make cacio e pepe, and it was a major highlight of our Italian holiday! Marco was a fantastic teacher, taking us through the steps and sharing tips and tricks to ensure a perfect result. Marco made us some amazing tiramisu, and shared the recipe for that as well. We also had my niece with us who is 9 months old, and Marco was the perfect host in accommodating her, even offering to make a special meal. The warm hospitality, great conversation and Marco's knowledge and teaching made the experience very special for all four of us. I would definitely recommend visiting Marco and sharing some wonderful food and a lovely evening!
- La cena è stata fantastica! Abbiamo cercato di mangiare i carciofi alla romana, autentici e di stagione, a Roma, e di vedere alcuni trucchi del mestiere nella loro preparazione. Abbiamo imparato molto dall'introduzione di Marco alla cucina dei carciofi! Marco ha preparato i carciofi in tre modi diversi: alla romana, alla giudia e fritti. È stata una bella esperienza trascorrere questa divertente serata con Marco e Michela, conoscere un po' la vita dei romani e conversare con loro ha significato molto per noi. Ci hanno accolto come vecchi amici. Mio figlio ha anche ricevuto una torta a sorpresa per il suo compleanno. Grazie mille!
- We were a group of 5 people and booked this event with Marco. It was a pasta course with tiramisu for dessert. The course was the highlight of our trip. Marco was an excellent host and we learnt so much. Starting with an appetiser, we made pasta and gnocchi; we then had both - even with an extra sauce for the vegetarian - for dinner with homemade tiramisu. Prosecco wine and lots of conversation. It was an afternoon like spending time with old friends, with lots of fun and delicious food. We can only recommend the course with Marco and would book this course again at any time.
- It was a wonderful evening with Marco en his wife Michela. I had a delicious meal with my sister. We enjoyed the cooking skills of Marco and the hospitality from Marco and his wife. I highly recommend this place to have a nice evening with perfect food and look forward to eat a casa di Marco e Michela again!
- I was given a dinner experience with Marco as a surprise for my 30th birthday. Marco & Graziella were excellent hosts and welcomed us with a beer at the door and invited us into their beautiful home. We had a wonderful five course dinner on their balcony with a view over the mountains. The food was well cooked and made with local ingredients that Marco had picked out! Marco also showed us step by step how to cook the perfect carbonara, needless to say it was the best carbonara that we've ever eaten! Marco also gave us a lot of recommendations of places to visit in Rome (testaccio market had the best pizza we've ever eaten!). If you want a genuine dinner at home experience, Marco is your guy!
