Amazing - Amazing time and best meal we’ve had in Italy. Went above and beyond and even served mussels. We had a lot of fun pasta. Lidia and her family were the best!

Thank you, Nonna Lidia! - Nonna Lidia and her grand daughter Gaia really Made an effort to welcome us, almost making us feel part of their daily life and their family. We thought we were going to make pasta and tiramisu, but ended up with so much more - next to that, we ended up sharing an entire meal with Nonna Lidia and her family. The food was awesome, everything you think of when thinking of an Italian grandmother teaching you to cook! This was truly amazing and an experience we will never forget!
