- Marco was a fabulous host. He was patient and informative. I would highly recommend Marco for a culinary experience
- Our evening with Marco and his wonderful family was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends into their home. The experience of making fresh pasta and tiramisu was not only fun and hands-on, but also filled with laughter and warmth as Marco and his family guided us through each step with patience and passion. We started the evening with a glass of Prosecco, which set the perfect tone for a relaxed and joyful night. After preparing the pasta and assembling the tiramisu, we all sat down together at the table to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Sharing a meal with Marco, his wife, her brother, sister, and nephews, felt less like an Airbnb experience and more like an authentic slice of Italian family life. The food was absolutely delicious, the wine flowed generously, and the conversation and connection made the evening unforgettable.
- 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.
