Hi there! Nice to meet you

Me with my friend Francesco, the owner of one of the best cheese stands of Rome's markets, and his wife Donatella, decided to share our taste for food with friends from all over the world.

Our purpose is to get our guests in contact with the products of Lazio through Francesco's experience and a careful choice of small producers "km0" and their history!

My wife and I have been wanting to experience this for a long time and when we saw the opportunity, we knew we had to do it. We couldn't have picked a better host. Maria Gloria, Francesco, and Donnatella were very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed some of the best food Rome has to offer alongside some of the best company you can ask for. There was such a familiar feeling, it was as if we were visiting family friends or relatives for dinner. We had such a great time and would recommend this to anyone looking for a good time and a full belly. Thank you Maria Gloria, Francesco, and Donnatella!! We can't wait to come back and do it again, or maybe host you at our house! -The Fitzgerald Family Patrick, Annemarie, Helene, and MatildeA perfect dining experience in Rome!

It was an awesome experience & it felt truly like you are visiting a friend for dinner. Maria Gloria, Francesco & Donnatella were so hospitable & made delicious food. If you are looking for a local experience & are open minded about food, you should definitely give this a go! With their deep experience with the local food scene, i even got a bonus recommendation to try the original Fettucine Alfredo in the city the next day!Local experience perfect for solo traveler

What a great dinner did we have with Maria Gloria, Francesco and Donatella. The food was amazing; fresh and so tasty! Francesco and Donatella own a cheese shop so we were spoiled with an amazing selection of cheese. Besides the amazing food, Maria Gloria, Francesco and Donatella are great company as well. We had a lovely conversation about food, travels and all things Italy. Highly recommended to book a dinner with Maria Gloria, Francesco and Donatella! Great dinner ans lovely company

My friends and I regularly do private chef meals on holiday. We love the experience to converse with locals over a meal. Maria Gloria, Francesco and Donatella did not disappoint. They are very gracious hosts. Francesco and Donatella own a cheese shop and made beautifully prepared and displayed courses for us to enjoy. Maria Gloria was a gracious and kind host with wonderful conversations about their beautiful country and city. We would highly recommend a meal with them and their generosity. Grazie Mille!Amazing meal, hosts and experience!

Gloria Maria, Francesco & Donatella.. were absolutely the most kind hearted and welcoming people you can ever imagine. Our experience during dinner in her home felt like our personal family dinners at home. We enjoyed delicious food and wine and their hospitality was outstanding. We can’t wait to come back to Rome and visit with them again. Great time with our new friends!

Happiness is certainly homemade when it’s prepared and delivered by Maria Gloria, Donatella and Francisco. When an already amazing family trip needs the cherry on the pie, then don’t hesitate to get in touch with Maria Gloria. Her home will open for you, its coziness will embrace you and the pasta, cheese, salumi and wine (not to forget Donatella’s majestic tiramisu) will amaze you in its simplicity yet fit for royalty. If you thought you had already the best cacio e pepe, hold that thought and change your opinion for good when you tasted Francesco’s pasta ! Thanks so so so much !!Sharing laughter and food

If we could give it 20 stars we would!!!! This experience is great! The food is top quality and the company is even better. A 5-course meal, accompanied by 2 different wines and great conversation. For those looking for authenticity and good food, this is the experience to choose! Thank you for everything Maria, Donatella, Francesco ❤️❤️Dinner with friends

From the very first moment we felt welcomed and comfortable by Maria Gloria. The food, the cheeses, the conversation, the laughter, the storytelling. Recalling it is just the tip of the iceberg. We entered as strangers and left feeling like we had three new friends. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to connect in an authentic way. Everything was just perfect. I will be dreaming of Donatella's tiramisu for very long time... :) From the bottom of my heart, thank you Maria Gloria, Francesco and Donatella.Food experience that shouldn't be missed!
