   View on Maps

2. Example menu

   This is what our dinner could look like, but it’s not set in stone! Once you book, you can chat directly with your host to make small tweaks to suit your preferences.

3. Aperitivo

   Cheese / Cold cuts / vegetable selection of your choice from the best Italian and Tuscan selection

4. Antipasti /Entrées

   - Focaccia seasonal vegetables and/or cheese - Coccoli: fried pizza dough - Flan - Several different bruschette - Small bites to taste

5. Primi / First Course / PASTA!

   - Gnocchi - Ravioli - Tagliatelle - Fettuccine - Pappardelle al ragù - Cavatelli - Orecchiette - Lasagne in different sauces - Pici If you'd like to place a special focus on pasta, there is the possibility to design a masterclass dedicated to a variety of preparation and cooking techniques. This could include creating modern and scenographic plates or traditional regional specialties, for a deep dive into Italy’s culinary heritage.

6. Secondi / Main Course

   - Chicken in traditional recipes or modern presentation - Pork and beef - Meatballs of any kind - VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN meatballs and full plates - Eggplant parmigiana

7. Dessert

   Going from classical such as Panna cotta, tiramisù, cannoli and gelato to cakes and biscuit, affogato, or italian cheese cake

8. Special Historical Menus

   For those who love history, and are a little nerdy, like me, we can arrange a unique menu through the ages: from Roman antiquity, through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Each era brings its own distinctive flavors and stories, with a focus on different ingredients and techniques.

9. Wine

   For this experience, I offer a wine pairing that always includes, in addition to a white and a red, either a sparkling wine (Prosecco or traditional method) or a sweet wine (Vin Santo, Passito, or Moscato). Alternatively, a selection of local craft beers is also available.

10. Make it yours

    Want to tweak the menu? Book directly & chat afterwards with your host to adjust highlights, skip stops, or make small changes to fit your preferences.

    Book risk-free: Cancel within 24 hours for a full refund.

    Need something special? Personalize your experience for more time, alternative locations or a completely tailored plan.
