- V4764YGjanetc0 contributionsCooking class in ZagaroloMade ravioli, fettuccine and chocolate cake with Claudia and Angela. So much fun! Food was fantastic! Bruno’s musical talent was a bonus! A very enjoyable day in the country!Written 16 September 2024
- Luca M0 contributionsA fantastic cooking experience in the heart of RomeMichela , the restaurant owner, has done an outstanding job , we went around Trastevere both to shop for the food we would later cook and enjoy some cheese and porchetta testing. The location is super cool , a very loft in a beautiful square of Trastevere, inside a lot of space to cook and share the dinner. Her explanations are spot on and Michela clearly cares about her customers and the overall experience. I would recommend to anybody, both Italians and foreigners, to attend to the class, everything worked out fantastically, for sure over our expectations. Thanks a lot Michela, really looking forward to be back next Sunday. Luca&SoňaWritten 17 May 2024

Better than a great restaurant given the social interaction.Written 23 January 2022

On the door we met warm and hospital family who cared a lot to make our vist memorable. Under family chief Massimos hand were prepared main roman delicacy like amatriciana made of pork cheek, saltimbocca, tiramisu and much more. Prosecco and wine included. We asked family to join our dinner and got useful information about italian food and common life. At all we had cheerful evening with beautifully prepared and seasoned food! Could recommend Massimos family kindness and golden hands to every foodlover who is tired a bit of restaurants and wants to get „full package“ from Italy.Written 6 November 2021

I went to this cooking class to learn how to make homemade pasta. I never imagined I would have such a good time. The atmosphere at Janice & Francesca's home is unforgettable, warm, relaxed but also a lot of fun. A note that I want to point out is the music that accompanied us, simply fantastic! And last but not least the pasta was exquisite. I will definitely be back very soon!

We had the most wonderful evening with Janice, Francesca and Pietro! They are the sweetest pair of sisters who taught us how to make delicious gnocchi, taught to them from their grandmother who owned a restaurant in Rome. They were such ingratiating hosts who made us feel like old friends. We loved getting to know them, Pietro, and other guests from around the world. Thank you for a most memorable evening! P.s. they also serve yummy aperitifs and desserts!

Francesca & Janis were great hosts and teachers. We had a great time learning to make gnocchi. Even we couldn't ruin the gnocchi and the rest of the courses were even better. Just as good as the food was the interaction with our hosts and their family. We have the recepies and look forward to making the gnocchi again. This experience was one of the highlights of our time in Rome we highly recommend it.

Francesca and Janice were the most amazing hosts! We felt like family when we left! They opened up their home, taught us how to make incredible Italian pizza and filled us with memories forever. Our family includes 3 teens and it is a highlight of their Italy trip. If you are looking for an intimate experience of Italian cooking, dinner, culture and life…this is for you!

Fantastic experience.! We learned how to make gnocchi while having a lot of fun. We chatted like old friends and told each other many things about our life. It was as if we had known each other forever. It was a long time since I had such a beautiful evening! I also tried making gnocchi at home and they were faboulous. I highly recommend this experience.

Janice and Francesca are amazing people. Warm, friendly and genuinely caring. This is a truly authentic Italian dinner with a great family. It was my mom and dad’s 50 th anniversary and they went above and beyond to make it special. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! By the end of the night we became friends and would open our homes to these kind and warm women to come stay with us!

Janice and Francesca were wonderful! They provided an excellent meal for my husband and I. We were treated with appetizers, taught how to make delicious gnocchi, and they even prepared dessert! They treated us like family and made us feel so special. I left feeling like we were friends 💜 next time we are in Rome we will definitely pop in again to say hello. Don’t miss out meeting these wonderful humans!

We had the pleasure of spending an evening with Janice and Francesca in September 2019. What a lovely and super fun evening. The food was fantastic and plentiful. We were singing and dancing. Definitely a highlight in our visit to Rome.
Thank you so much for opening your home to us. It is a memory we will cherish always.
Also, I have made the gnocchi at home with great results!!

My favorite part was the warmth & enthusiasm Janice & Francesca gave to us. We spent 3 weeks in Italy & dinner with them was a highlight! The food was the best we had in Rome & the ambiance was spectacular. I will recommend this to all that travel to Rome. The driver they recommended was great & we booked him to drive us the the airport. He was also friendly & funny & he gave us a mini tour on our way & back to our hotel.
