food, conversation, and fun in an Italian home
Want one of Italy's dirty little secrets? The food in any Italian home is as good or better than any restaurant. Dinners that resound with conversation, arguments, and laughter over hours of simple exquisite food and simple local wines are the norm, and we're inviting you into our home to experience one. Located on the sun-drenched terrace of a home in the hills above the Cinque Terre, surrounded by fruit and olive trees, you'll be our dinner guests ... just like one of the family. NB: daughters and in-laws will be likely table companions, and everyone speaks English.
We're family friendly too ... kids under 10 eat for free and there's lots of space for them to run around.
For: for everyone who's ever wondered what real Italian cooking is like and who is tired of eating in restaurants during their vacation in Italy. for people who like real food and drink in a genuine setting. for people who think that traveling is about modern culture and society, too.
Cost Includes:
transportation to our home and back to downtown Levanto. three-course meal plus dessert. wine and digestifs. coffee. conversation.
Reviews
Our Favorite Memory in Europe
My husband and I booked this during our 1 month tour through Europe. We traveled to 7 countries and nothing beat this fun and unique experience. Doug picked us up from our hotel, took us to his warm home, introduced us to his wonderful wife Erica and their beautiful little girls. Erica cooked us a spectacular meal where she showed us how to make each dish and even printed us a menu along with recipes so that we could recreate them when we returned home. They were so inviting and told us wonderful stories of their life in Italy and gave us a true feel for what it is like to actually live in such a magical place. While we did not know what to expect when we first booked it, we now talk about it constantly and how it was one of our favorite memories of the whole trip. Doug and Erica are marvelous and we can't wait to come back to have dinner with them again.
