Hi from Marzia!
My cuisine is characterized by simplicity, variety, and healthiness. I prefer preparing vegetarian dishes using high-quality organic products. My culinary proposal stands out for its authentic Roman color and flavor, with a nod to Tuscan tradition. I pay particular attention to presentation, ensuring that each dish is a true invitation to taste and discovery.

- We recently attended a home-cooked meal with Marzia while we stayed in Cortona, Italy. It was truly an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was welcoming and warm from the moment we walked into her lovely home. Marzia, who was incredibly passionate about food, greeted us with a big smile and made everyone feel right at home. The meal was held in a cozy home with a well-equipped kitchen. Marzia was a skilled professional and a great teacher, breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Our two children learned how easy it is to make fresh pasta and loved helping with that part of our meal. Each dish Marzia prepared was thoughtfully chosen to showcase the Tuscany region. There was no feeling of being rushed—each dish took time, and we had the opportunity to relax and enjoy our family time around an intimate table setting. The food was absolutely delicious, Marzia crafted everything from scratch. We highly recommend this food experience to anyone. It’s an experience that will stay with you long after the last bite and leave a memory of the Tuscany welcoming community.
- Marzia was so amazing! The food was delicious, beautiful presentation and she was so generous with her time. Would absolutely recommend.
- Marzia was excellent. This was our favorite dining experience of our trip to Cortona, more special than any restaurant experience. Aperitivo outdoors was a delight. We then moved into the apartment and the dining table was set beautifully. Dinner was delicious. We had the best lasagna we have ever tasted. It was nothing like what we have in the U.S. Marzia and her assistant were so warm and welcoming. Sincerely nice people. The entire evening was enjoyable and comfortable and all four courses outstanding. Highly recommend.
- The setting was lovely and our hostess was very hospitable, but we expected more. First we booked it as "show cooking" but we were served in another room from the kitchen. Also, while tasty, the meal had no "wow" factor. We could have had the same meal at a restaurant for much less money. Our hostess apologized several times that her helper cancelled. Wondering if she should have canceled or reschedules us.
- Marisa was amazing! Our dinner was so thoughtful and delicious. She even gave us winery recommendations for our trip. I would recommend her to anyone.
