Hi there! Nice to meet you

Massimo

Hi! I'am Massimo (that's a really "roman" name) and I'm Art Director and Graphic Designer. I live in the centre of Rome, that's why I spend a lot of time just walking or cycling on the streets and places I know as the back of my hand. By the way, all my interests (art, design, cooking, etc.) are tightly related to my town that is the best "land" where I can "cultivate" them. That is why I am thrilled by the opportunity to be a local host and I am ready to show you all around!

Our time with Massimo was a highlight during our visit to Rome. Not only was the food delicious, he was so wonderful with our daughter. She had the best time learning about the ingredients and helping to put the dishes together. We all left with a new appreciation of Roman cooking and feel confident to try it ourselves at home!A Unique & Delicious Experience!

Massimo gave us a warm welcome in his house, where we spend 2 hours in his kitchen. Our children (11, 10 and 7) got invited to help him make authentic Roman pizza and Pasta Amitriciana. Thank you Massimo for this wonderful experience and all your cooking tips. We are definitely going to make this food again when we are back home.Authentic Roman Food Workshop

We had a great pleasure to learn a lot about a real Rome pizza, go through every step of making the best pizza ever and enjoyed eating it so much!!! Massimo explained the process in a very interesting way. We could see how much he loves it, learned about small pizzas which his grandma used to make for Christmas! It was an unforgettable experience! And we highly recommend it! Amazing experience

Massimo war ein toller Gastgeber. Mit viel Liebe hat er uns sowohl in die römische Geschichte als auch in die Kunst des Pastamachens eingeführt. Massimo ist sehr freundlich, lustig und macht den Kurs mit Herzblut. Danke für wunderbare Stunden!

Massimo not only shared his family recipes and kitchen but shared one of our favorite memories of the trip! Having our children make pizza together and enjoy every bite of their work was a core memory. Thank you, Massimo! 10 stars for Massimo!

The chef has a cute apartment in a great part of a city. He was amazing with our teenage children, guiding them through the preparation and keeping them entertained with eloquent stories of history of Roman culinary art. We also got some amazing tips for day-to-day cooking. And, of course, the food was excellent! Highly recommend the experience! marvelous experience!
